  1. Good point. If we had played defense and hustled like that against UCF or at WV we win both of those. Some of that is simply getting Weaver more minutes. I’m still reeling from the game. So many bad decisions, bad shots, and boneheaded plays. Ugghh. Just bad basketball. Some of that can be attributed to K-State. Most of it can be attributed to RT.
  2. This game was always going to be a bloodbath. It was more like a tourney game. And K-State dirties it up but they generally play everyone close. Lost by 3 to TCU, by 6 at BYU, by 1 at Tech. They beat KU and Baylor. This was a critical win and we won playing absolutely terribly.
  3. This team is stupid. Like really stupid.
  4. After that flagrant foul, they are playing harder than we are. That says something.
  5. This KState team is garbage. Just a hacking, poor shot jacking, turnover machine of a team. People complain about Terry, but that they a better coached than this KState team.
  6. Like I said. Dude just drives me crazy. I can't imagine a world where he thinks that is the shot we needed right there.
  7. this is some of the worst basketball I have ever watched
  8. Onyema never plays so I don't have to get frustrated at him. Horton is also spectacularly frustrating to watch.
  9. Remember when we had Beard and a 7 point lead felt like it may as well be a 20 point lead?
  10. There are some frustrating players on this team, but nobody is worse than Shedrick. Dude just adds nothing. Runs around flat footed, always out of position, taking terrible contested 12 foot shots, can't rebound, etc. Whenever he comes in, I know that the other team is about to go on a run. He is the definition of a stiff. Hunter at least gives some effort now and again. And shows some fire and occasional explosiveness.
  11. That was me. I believe no team ranked under 38 has ever failed to make the tournament.
  12. Right now we are 33 in NET, 29 in Kenpom, 27 in Massey. We will end up in the top half of tournament teams according to computer rankings, regardless of what our seed is if we get in. Our losses are to: #1, #3, #3, #8, #9 #17, #23, #76, #112. And we have wins over: #10, #22, #29, #50. Our first game in the tournament would be against a team in the 20-50 range on a neutral court. So we are 3-1 against teams of the caliber we will get in round 1. Our 2nd game would likely be against a team in the 1-10 range. We are 1-5 on that front. Not great, but you never know. I could see us getting an 11 seed and having to face a ~20-25 ranked team in round 1. That is winnable for this group. We win and now we are playing the winner of the 3-14 game. Worst case we face a team in the 10-12 range. Best case, there is an upset and we are facing a team ranked more like 45-50. Bottom line, if we get in the tourney anything can happen.
  13. If this team gets into the tourney, there is a real possibility that they can make a run to the S16. If that happens he gets 2 years for sure. On the other hand, if we miss the tourney this year and miss it again next year, he is probably gone.
  14. Beard had some NBA talent at Tech. Zhaire Smith went #16 in 2018. And then Jarrett Culver went #6 in 2019. And Jahmi'us Ramsey was a 2nd rounder in 2020. They haven’t done much in the NBA but they were drafted highly.
  15. Looking at the Big 12 standings this morning. Man, if we could have just beaten WV on the road and closed out Houston or Iowa State at home, we could have been in 1st place in this crazy conference. The Massey game by game odds project the following wins at the end of the season: 13.3 - Houston 11.7 - Iowa St 10.9 - Kansas 10.6 - Baylor 10.2 - Tech 9.4 - BYU 9.4 - TCU 8.9 - OU 8.5 - Texas 8.0 - K-State 7.9 - Cincinnati 7.0 - UCF 5.5 - West Virginia 4.7 - OSU Houston looks to be separating themselves as the cream of the crop. Our off week couldn't have come at a better time as we get ready to play them on the road. Unfortunately they also have a week to prepare.
  16. In fairness some of them also played against guys that looked like this:
  17. As far as I'm concerned, our ceiling is unchanged from the start of the season... and that is Final Four. However, our ODDS of reaching our ceiling are way lower than I thought at the start of the season. And our floor is also way lower. I'm not sure there is another team in the country with two better players than Disu and Abmas. When both of them are clicking, we can string together big wins. And both are pretty dang consistent. But the other pieces are just too hit or miss. Our odds of missing the tourney are probably better than us making the Sweet 16.
  18. Should we be concerned that Chris Johnson isn't playing?
  19. Abmas shoots a better percent from 3 over his whole career than J'Covan did in his BEST year... on DOUBLE the attempts. And he is a better free throw shooter. And he is more efficient from 2. J'Covan could use his strength to get buckets in a way Abmas can't though. Abmas is probably the best pure shooter we have ever had.
  20. this is an important half of basketball. Can RT motivate them to step on their necks? Or will we settle for jacking up 3s and stop doing the dirty work?
  21. No. Next question.
  22. Now Abmas is just clowning on them.
  23. You have been out on this coaching staff all year. That play was just confirmation bias. I've also been disappointed by this team, but still have hope that they can go on a run if they make the tourney.
  24. My gosh every time down the floor is a huge dunk.
