Our bread n butter in bounds plays and we are throwing it out of bounds the last few games.

Al hits 2/3 FTs, 43-42 BU 13:05

KSU passing gets an easy layup, they are killing us with easy shots. not good.

K-State doing a good job attacking, drive & dish works every time.

Nice 3pt foul on Freeman. We needed that. Big FTs coming up.

These announcers need a swift kick in the sack

Awful pass from Lindsey ... not his norm
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Jake with a bad pass and has to foul before the break

we get a steal in the paint... Freeman gives it right back going in the air with no plan, and KSU cut off the passing lanes. horrible.

KSU fouled on the floor. media @ 11:45

The turnovers are ****ing insanity.

Acuil needs to get his hands up on Defense, easy passing lane for K-State & a layup.
Media Bear

KStare seems to know we're gonna pass off the dribble. It's like they're waiting for it.

in terms of low basketball IQ, that last play was a 10 out of 10 by Al
3ptSpecialist
How long do you want to ignore this user?
got to find a way to win this. Ride Lecomte and Motley down the stretch.
3ptSpecialist
How long do you want to ignore this user?
bigs have to step up offensively down the stretch.

Most teams are figuring out and narrowing down their lineups this time of year but we seem to be going backwards trying to figure out who to play w/ who.

Dribbled baseline, jumped in the air under the basket, and then tried to figure out what to do.
jimdue

This 5 needs to keep us in the game so we can protect so we can hold off having to out on manu and Motley with fouls
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
we get a nice stop, then Manu's pass goes thru Motley's legs... my god

KSU turns it back over with a bad pass
Hambone

Jo throws up a baby hook from 10 and gets a friendly roll, lol. 45-44 BU 10:15

WIDE OPEN 3 from the corner and it goes. 47-45 KSU 9:57, timeout KSU (for some reason)

Finally the high low & Acuil hits a tough jump hook.

Baseline jumper open consistently for KSU

How many corner 3s before an adjustment
riflebear

Their corner 3 has absolutely killed us today. Can't believe we're giving that up so easily tonight.
Bears8375
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Can't defend ***** KState has to be shooting over 80% from the corners.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Guard the damn corners....

Motley falls asleep on it regularly

TX w/ a big comeback - up 4 in the 2nd half vs WVU.

W/ our advantage inside you would think we could get better inside position or get to the FT line more. We're falling for a bunch of 1 on 1 stuff and going away from what really worked earlier in the year. Part of that is scouting but we are better than that.
