ASU up 54 - 48 with 4:42 to go. Carr is at the free throw line after the timeout.

ASU is now ahead 59 - 49. The Cats are running out of gas.

ASU was too athletic, and we couldn't get shots to fall in the second half. We have to get more scoring out of Carr, Jones, and Ranke. This was a winnable game. K-State was only 1 of 11 on 3's. Final score ASU 65 - KSU 51.

The three mention aren't scoring because of the methodically slow offense that is geared completely around Goth and Williams. Unless they change that and start opening up the offense, those three won't score like they're capable of. Walking the ball down the court with a guard who really doesn't have the best court awareness and having good shooters stand there waiting is ridiculous. This team needs to have everyone moving constantly and run more so the opponent doesn't have time to get down the court and defend our shooters. These players do better playing on the fly. Slowing down the offense only prevents you from having a chance of beating good teams.

I see your point. But I think since we have no depth on the bench due to injuries and youth...Mittie is probably afraid of us getting in foul trouble playing more up tempo. It is what it is. We haven’t seen fast break points since Megan Deines graduated a couple of years ago.

Just no consistency, we have 3 players who can score the ball and usually not all 3 in the same game. PW scored a Third of our pts! Need more than 1 player scoring in the teens and the entire rest of the team putting up another 30 some. Goth and Williams show up often enough, everyone else might give you 15 or might give you zero on any given night.

Are there some injuries that will be mitigated over time and not affect the conference season or are we screwed for the entire season.

The youth issue can resolve itself over the course of the season I hope!


Any chance of post season play for this team? ? ?

I can see them really struggling when conference play begins. I go back to the offense that holds the scoring down which also basically freezes out Carr and Ranke from being effective scorers. We need those two to help carry the team with Goth and Williams.
