MSU-Kansas St. game thread

[KOdawg1]

Bright and early, and its showing. Game is currently tied 9-9, but we have no plan offensively. We just pass it around until the shot clock reaches about 6 seconds and then we shoot.

[KOdawg1]

More turnovers and it's 17-12 KSU

[maroonmania]

Looking pathetic. Just so hard to ever get enthused about our MBB team.

[KOdawg1]

KSU carving us up. 22-15

[maroonmania]

KSU plays defense with twice the intensity we do.

[KOdawg1]

KSU misses both free-throws but Ado can't block out, they get the rebound and hit another 3. 25-15. Pitiful so far

[maroonmania]

Disgusting. KSU misses 2 free throws only to outrebound us for the miss and hit a 3. We play like we don't care.

[timotheus]

ho hum effort so far. slow offense and slow reacting D

[msudawg1200]

Soft, soft, soft, soft, soft

[KOdawg1]

Ado has the worst hands of any player in any sport I've ever seen. The dude cannot catch the ball. He can't hold onto the ball.

Can you wear those sticky gloves in basketball?

[maroonmania]

Lead up to 12 without the ball. Not even sure why I'm wasting my time watching this.

[MaroonFlounder]

Bout to lose 3rd game in a row.

[MaroonFlounder]

I sure hope TutorGate Nick can give this team a spark in a couple weeks.

[KOdawg1]

Someone kick 00's ankles

[HoopsDawg]

Bout to lose 3rd game in a row.

It would be our 2nd loss in a row if we lose.

[MaroonFlounder]

It would be our 2nd loss in a row if we lose.

Nova, La Tech, and today?

[maroonmania]

Do we just think other teams should not be able to hit a 3 even if left wide open?

[CJDAWG85]

We really need someone to start dominating down low. They are forcing us to settle for jump shots.

[CJDAWG85]

We played another game in that tournament after Nova.

[KOdawg1]

Nova, La Tech, and today?

We beat Coastal Carolina after the Nova loss

[KOdawg1]

How is it that a 32% 3-pt shooting team that ranks 212th in the country lights our ass up?

[HoopsDawg]

Do we just think other teams should not be able to hit a 3 even if left wide open?

We have way too many breakdowns defensively leaving shooters wide open.

[MarketingBully]

Nova, La Tech, and today?

We beat Coastal Carolina after Nova. We lost our Mo because we have played just 2 games in over 3 weeks. It’s pathetic scheduling.

[HoopsDawg]

How is it that a 32% 3-pt shooting team that ranks 212th in the country lights our ass up?

La Tech and Nova lit us up too.

[MarketingBully]

How is it that a 32% 3-pt shooting team that ranks 212th in the country lights our ass up?

Because we aren’t closing out well on shooters. La Tech lit us up and sucked at shooting 3s too but it’s easy to hit perimeter shots when you are wide open. Effort is what we are missing and it’s called playing 2 games since November 23rd.

[KOdawg1]

Despite playing like trash, it's only a 3 pt game

[DownwardDawg]

Baseball season is right around the corner!!!
Crap, I didn’t even know we had a basketball game today. Strange.

[MarketingBully]

La Tech and Nova lit us up too.

Difference being Nova is a very good perimeter shooting team who plays five guys who can all hit 3s. This schedule Howland put together screwed us here.

[maroonmania]

Maybe we are at least starting to wake up. Got it down to a 1 point game now.

[KOdawg1]

Tie game at the half

[maroonmania]

This K-State team rarely scores more than about 60 in a game. At least we finally started slowing them down a little on offense.

[CJDAWG85]

They are shooting 6-11 from 3 and we are tied at the half. Like the way we finished the half.

[chef dixon]

This is an absolute must win game for us if we want to be serious about making the dance. Lose this and we end up an average SEC team, the committee is going to look back at our OOC resume and laugh their ass off.

[MarketingBully]

This K-State team rarely scores more than about 60 in a game. At least we finally started slowing them down a little on offense.

We looked like this because of the break between games. If we come out with effort in the second half we will win this game. KSU isn’t the greatest team.

[maroonmania]

KState is not even a good team. Picked well down in the Big 12. We absolutely don't need to be losing this game if we plan on getting in the NCAAT.

[KOdawg1]

Who's the strength and conditioning coach for our basketball team? I'll give us that, we're in shape. Move them to football

[chef dixon]

Their buckets coming much easier than ours

[CJDAWG85]

Unreal how they are the more aggressive/physical team defensively, but they have the FT advantage 20-8.

[Cooterpoot]

Typical Howland team.

[KOdawg1]

We have the size, we have the athleticism. What we lack is basketball IQ

[MarketingBully]

Howland needs to call timeout. Man we miss Nick. Hell this team is maddening.

[parabrave]

Face our shooting the last few games just plain suck.

[MarketingBully]

We have no point guard.

[chef dixon]

I am glad I am not the type to punch walls

[MarketingBully]

Face our shooting the last few games just plain suck.

Because we rushed it when it was tied. Had we been deliberate on offense and ran our stuff we would be up by 4-6 points right now instead it’s a 4 point deficit because we are pushing the ball when we don’t have to. Molinar has sucked this game and Carter hasn’t been much better. We miss Nick W something awful. We need to just try to gut out a win here calm the **** down play defense and rebound. Play with effort but be deliberate on offense and Perry needs to be out there the rest of the game.

[MaroonFlounder]

Looks like Ado has improved, but things evened out by the other guys getting worse.

[CJDAWG85]

That’s 100% a charge

[parabrave]

WTF refs

[MarketingBully]

That’s 100% a charge

Yep and outside of the circle so it should hold up.

[cheewgumm]

Refs are horrendous, as usual

[cheewgumm]

The white hair official has $ on K State.

[msstate7]

Perry...
5 pts (2-11 shooting) 2 reb 3 fouls

Jeez, he needs to more consistent

[msstate7]

Perry another miss.

[CJDAWG85]

These officials are letting them get away with murder down low.

[cheewgumm]

He and Carter have to score for us. If they don?t we?ll have a hard time getting 50 pts. They are wildly inconsistent.

[msudawg1200]

These officials are freaking awful

[msstate7]

Nice drive, perry

[msstate7]

Maddening

[msstate7]

We are a stupid team at times

[msstate7]

That Perry 3 attempt is a losing play.

[MaroonFlounder]

That Perry 3 attempt is a losing play.

Same shit that Lamar used to do

[msudawg1200]

That Perry 3 attempt is a losing play.

That was bad. Bad basketball

[TimberBeast]

This team is very hard to watch, we are so dumb at times.

[msstate7]

That was nice

[msstate7]

This team could be really good. I don't know if they'll get there, but potential is there

[timotheus]

Maybe Nick really improves the O and adds depth by moving guys around.

[MaroonFlounder]

Nice pull-up J by Tyson when needed the most.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Ado has the worst hands of any player in any sport I've ever seen.

Ever watched Jim Abbott or Shaquem Griffin?

[KOdawg1]

Ever watched Jim Abbott or Shaquem Griffin?

LOL rep given

[KOdawg1]

Well we overcame dumb self-inflicted mistakes and the refs to beat an average to above-average team at a neutral site at 10:30 AM.


I'll take it, but we have a long way to go if we want to make the tournament

[parabrave]

Good comeback win guys.

[msudawg1200]

Big comeback win in a game we played like crap. We need Nick back bad.

[KOdawg1]

Getting Nick W back will be huge though

[BeardoMSU]

Now that we've lost 3 in a row, how long until Howland resigns?**

[msstate7]

Big win!

[chef dixon]

Time for Perry to start living up to the hype. Some of that is on Howland for not utilizing him. He has proven he can do it with Team USA

[NCMSTFAN]

I'll take it! Much needed win, we have Nick coming back soon and that will help

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time for Perry to start living up to the hype. Some of that is on Howland for not utilizing him. He has proven he can do it with Team USA

Yeah, I am not sure if we just cannot run the offense like Team USA did or not. Seemed like almost every possession he saw the ball. I would love for us to worj the perimeter in to Perry more often.

Team looked comfortable out there. We need to turn up the intensity. I understand that our entire team was in foul trouble most of the game and we literally lost every questionable call. I saw 6 in the second half alone.

[MarketingBully]

I’ll take a win anyway we can get one right now. One more game until Nick gets back. Getting back into a rhythm of playing multiple games a week will help too. We played like we had only played two games in a 3 weeks.

Very good comeback win that we really needed after dropping the home game to LT. But I would say K State is an average to below average team. Would be highly surprised if they make the tourney.

[BiscuitEater]

Watch much? Ado has best game of his career! We don't WIN this game without him!

[Turfdawg67]

Watch much? Ado has best game of his career! We don't WIN this game without him!

The two aren't mutually exclusive...

[KOdawg1]

Watch much? Ado has best game of his career! We don't WIN this game without him!

LOL. So? He did have a great game. Doesn't mean he can catch the ball. Watch much?

[Ari Gold]

If Reggie played with effort and grit that Ado plays with kid would be a top 3 lottery pick.

#FreeGotti is almost back... still amazing kid had to sit 20 games ...

Not knowing the facts of the case, but if that happened to anyone that couldn't dunk from the free throw or dominate the line of scrimmage they would have been expelled from the university. 20 games is cheap.

[Ari Gold]

I cheated on a test back in the day in college . got caught.
Was given 2 options, take a Zero or get expelled.. met with the professor
I took the Zero and moved on..

The main point is that we have a Compliance Department ran by a guy that has zero qualifications to run it when he was hired and wouldn?t even been considered for an interview today
Bracky is now on his
2nd president and
4th AD

It’s beyond time for an upgrade..

Not true. Your first offense is not automatic expulsion. It’s as Ari said a zero on the exam. The second offense is expulsion and that is exactly what happened to Fred Brown. We didn’t hear about his first offense because that was handled internally and it wasn’t done by a tutor who was paid by the university. Otherwise, we wouldn’t of heard about Tutorgate either had the one cheating not been paid by the university *sigh*

What’s dumb is if the tutor was just a student and didn’t get a minimal stipend from the university the NCAA wouldn’t have stepped in and suspended the players at all. The rules are dumb as hell and make no sense.

Agree.


8 games for football
And 20 games for basketball

Hell the NCAA doesn’t punishment academic fraud that heavy 90% of the time

[maroonmania]

I get so sick of everything with the NCAA enforcement. If you confess your wrongs and throw yourself on their mercy, they hammer you. If you deny everything and make them go investigate and prove things you get either nothing or no worse than you would have gotten had you cooperated from the start. There is really zero incentive to try and do things right.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Exactly.
