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]

I think we'll be alright, William.
I'm more concerned about the interior D. I'm not sure what to think about that right now. [Reply]
Don't know if it changed today, but watching Friday's game showed this team is still more than capable of going stone cold for long stretches of time. Hope that improves. [Reply]

It'll improve. The shots are there, just not falling. I'm really psyched about this teams bigs - these guys are long, they can move, alter shots - very impressive. [Reply]
I like Henriquez-Roberts. All his reports knocked him for being/playing weak, but thus far, against far inferior talent, he has shown an ability to block shots, something that we haven't seen in a while. He had a nice put-back also.
He's pretty raw, but give him 30 pounds of muscle and a year or two and he might be a real nice center. [Reply]

Indeed - it's been awhile since we've had bigs this talented. [Reply]
