K-State vs Texas

[Catalum]

afterthoughts ...

1. this is a meaningless tournament except to the winner - probably texas;
2. state is just too reliant on lee who was good not great yesterday - 25 and 10;
3. i thought the highlight was glenn getting after madison booker defensively the second half - need more of that tenacity;
4. serena looks weary to me - exacerbated by the lip blow - six turnovers negated her six assists;
5. gabby was 3 for 5; 2 for 4 from behind the line - she is simply not shooting enough to my liking;
6. sanchez, sides, maupin all need to get in the weight room - they are too often mauled; <-- THIS
7. walker was the only cat with a positive number on the not-play-hard-chart - she was +4;
8. madison booker is a joy to watch - engineering student as well - i appreciate that;
9. iowa state has peaked at the right time - it will be an interesting final - i'm ambivalent;
10. our gals have a lot of hoops left to play this year - will be good to rest - then play teams who are not as familiar with them.

TM I agree with all your afterthoughts. I will add one more. Jeff Mittie is not a coach who is going to win championships or make deep runs in the NCAA tourney.

we'll see how this turns out. they have plenty left to play this year. and assuming yokie returns next fall, they will be very good again. coaching is in large part about recruiting talent. he's done a really solid job of that the past three/four years.

I didn't get to see any of the game until right before I walked in the house we had hit a 3 to go up 2 I think.........then it fell apart from there. I should have turned around and went back to work...................haha

We still don’t have a player that can go get a basket one on one. We have no midrange game and we are only average 3 point shooters. If Mittie can’t lob it in to a big center he has no offense. Also, we are horrible at defending the high ball screen. That is coaching.

our three-point shooting does not compliment lee. state is next to last in treys percentage made. that's a real issue for this year's team and why i have concluded that gabby needs to shoot more, the others less.

k-state ranks seventh in both b12 offensive and defensive stats. we need to consider though that lee was out for much of the season and gabby has been hurt as well. still, they were right there at the with #5 texas.

i like gabby's view here below. in my ignorant view, she needs to be far more assertive herself for this team to make a run.

They need to come out that way each game straight from the jump. Take control early and put the hammer down.

No offense, but I hope the K-State team makes you eat your words.

[greycat68]

I hope so too. I will keep supporting them to the end. But I also recognize their weaknesses. No offense taken.
