I know there are enough of us to participate in this thread, even when our seasons inevitably go to shit.
KSU vs Western Illinois today, tip-off at 3:00 pm.
One thing I noticed near the end of the game on Friday night - we had 5 true freshman on the court, and still played sound basketball. None of them were scrub walk-ons either. While I don't think we will make a serious run at anything this year, the foundation is being laid for a solid program in the future. [Reply]
Got back from the game not long ago. At halftime, a small part of me thought we would find a way to screw this game up the same way we did the oSu game. The fans were never completely into it, including myself and the team didn't really seem to be completely into it at all in the first half. Glad to see they pulled it together late.
Got Nebrasketball on Wednesday in The 'Gon. Yet another game we should win and I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully the rest of the fans (myself included) will be into that one from beginning to end.
Frank postgame quote on Curtis Kelly's blocks: "Our statistician must have been eating cheeseburgers or something. If he only had 3 blocks, that's ridiculous." [Reply]
Frank mentioned that they wanted to try a new offense he installed to attack a 1-3-1 zone. Obviously it didn't work in the first half, so they went back to what they were comfortable with.
Glad we have the comfort of experimentation in Big XII play.
BTW, for those who have the NBA channel, Cartier Martin is playing for the East team on the NBA D-League All Star Game. [Reply]

Interesting. I might go back and watch it again tomorrow to see what he's talking about. Because at first glance, it looked like they had never seen that defense before and were running around confused and not attacking it properly. I think I even made a comment to that effect. [Reply]

No team that has to rely on two guards to carry them will go far, that's obvious. Gonna be fun to watch KU's bigs toy with Colon and his gang.
The lack of quality bigs glaring weakness was shown again yesterday as those starting bums (not counting JAMSAM) combined for:
