No joke I’m gonna watch it.
-
@DanR luuuurve for everyone
-
My worst nightmare would be to switch to this game and KSU comes back to win
-
Just got to 21(!)
-
Ft Hays up 21 with 6: 59 to go. - -Heard a rumor K-State was going to try and field a Basketball team - - - guess not
Ft Hayes 19 turnovers - -and still up 19
-
OK, I’m watching… already down to 15
-
DAM. - - Illinois up 14-4 on Duke already
-
#34!!
-
Mercy Ft Hays State has 6 players in double figures. - -hell I might even be able to get in double figures against these guys
-
Can we get Peters here as a walk-on??
-
Just saw on ESPN that KU is 15-3 against top 10 teams under Coach Self
-
KState has a cowbell on their rim
-
Illinois just nasty - - -Illinois up 24-10 over Duke with 10 plus left in the 1st half
-
Hays is just throwing up junk and it all goes lmao

KSU fans struggling
-
Had to relay this – has to be the line of the night from the KSU game. - - The Radio announcers after the game , the play by play guys says to his partner - So who do you have as the defensive player of the Night ? - - The guy says - - drum roll please - - - - I DON’T - - you don’t have a defensive player of the game ? - - - I DON’T - - - – lol - -good night guys
-
If only there was some coach KSU could’ve had. You know? Alum, Kansan, all that. Totally unrelated: Illinois looks salty at Cameron.
-
Illinois has a high ceiling. That 15 point win wasn’t nearly as close as the score would indicate.
-
If K-St cares about basketball you fire Weber today. If they don’t that’s fine for us and everyone else!
-
Duke, UK and UNC all looking crappy here early on.
Going to be a wild season
-
Coach K’s laying on the floor https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2921621-coach-k-on-playing-through-covid-19-i-dont-think-it-feels-right-to-anybody
-
Well K-State has made the big time - -Lights , Camera. - Was on ESPN for losing to Ft Hays State - -!st NAIA school to beat a P-5 in like 20 years , showing the high lights of the game - -Squeaks said is was a sad , sad day for K-State Basketball - How much longer does Weber survive ? - -I don’t think there is ANY team unity- I don’t think they give 2 rats ass the players that is about Weber. - Looks like this team is abeaten group BEFORE the season really gets started - -they look REALLY BAD. - having said that you watch when it comes time to play us - -they will play out their tails way over their heads and make anything and everything they throw up
-
Weber is not a strong recruiter and he has a tendency to alienate some of his best players at times. That was his problem at Illinois. That is his problem now. He can have great years, but cannot sustain that because he will have lulls in recruiting and lose guys to transfer. It’s a vicious cycle. He was in a similar position a few years ago before Dean Wade and Barry Brown basically saved his job. He will need something similar next season, but I don’t see that type of talent on the roster now (guys likely to break out) or coming in via recruiting.
-
Another way of saying the program is a dumpster fire right now?
-
@BeddieKU23 when’s his contract up?
-

I lost track, it seems they give him an extension every time he has a winning season LOL.
Edit: Google says he was extended through 2022-23 season
-
@BeddieKU23 I’m sure every school is hurting, but they’ve had so many chances to get rid of him, maybe they deserve to keep him.

I think, and a lot of KSU fans I know agree at this point, his better players tend to develop in spite of Bruce. Where we see KU consistently develop some of the same things, the players that develop under Bruce seem kind of random. Wade even had a bit of regression his SR year. I think the list of players he has alienated is larger than the list of guys that ended up being near all league level for him.
Pack and Dajuan Gordon look like players to me. Will they get better under Bruce? Maybe McGuirl comes back for a free fifth year? I think their biggest issue is they have a ton of bigs on the roster and all of them are not very good. I don’t see Bruce adding a bunch of immediate impact guys so their line-up next year will likely have holes.
-
Of course K-St deserves him.
-
The Octagon of Doom! Where 0-3 D2 schools can get back on track.
-
There is no bigger phony in sports than coach K.
-
If you’re talking about K’s comments on why playing basketball during covid feels wrong, I actually agree with him.
But, I get the feeling he only said that because this is probably his worst Duke team since… I don’t know when. Didn’t he want every D1 team to be in the tournament before the season started?

I was getting to say this myself. - -I think a BIG reason K is talking like he is - - is because this Duke team obviously is not nearly as good as others so now is the time for the perfect storm for him to say these things

I think Gordan is crap - -never has shown anything to me, not impressed, however it might be the other Gordan - - - I think Brucie beter be counting his days

Say it from the start, not now because the team sucks. I feel another back surgery coming.

@jayballer67 The good Gordon is the guard, not the big. He was the Chicago player of the year a couple years ago. Decent numbers so far and should get better.

ya ok, so the other is Antonio Gordon is that right ? -not sure if the name is right or not don’t pay THAT CLOSE of attention to name other then Gordon - just flat sucks
-
Yeah given the timing of the comments (after a 2nd home loss) with no fans its hard to see this as anything but def-tone bull crap.
-
@jayballer67 Yeah Antonio Gordon is the big and he sucks lol.
-
With few or no fans, home court advantage means nothing, so there’s less of an intimidation/momentum factor for home teams. We could see some really weird results.
Also, with guys maybe missing practices/games for COVID reasons, you never know who is unavailable.
Put all of that together and you have a really unpredictable season. I think midmajors could make some noise.
-
Yeah I feel we have already seen some really strange results.
-
Was listening to my local radio sorts broadcast & they were talking to Tim FitzGerald the K-State beat writer and he said this joke that happened last night - -the last time that it happened was clear back when they were playing in Nichols Arena - -long time ago.
He said his twitter was blowing up people who in the past that would go to bat for Weber even if he had hit the family Dog - -umm not so much now. - He was talking about he was watching the game on the Big 12 ESPN plus app and he was having trouble with it - - said the dam game kept coming back on roflmao.
Then I have to agree with this cause when I was listening to the game , he said it was just like they just didn’t care - -no effort - - no heart. It almost sounded like that to me also.
He said Hell K-state right now is the laughing stock of College basketball , saying every podcast they all talking about K-State - - he said hell even CBS spots had a article on them - things NOT GOOD for squeaky
-
Watching Texas Tech right now. So far they have pressed and subbed in 3/4 guys after a few minutes.
They have played 12/13 guys rotation minutes so far this season
-
@BeddieKU23 smart. You never know when a couple guys go out with the virus or contact tracing.
-
Watched til half, looks like Beard only played 6 guys heavy minutes instead of the platoon he was using
-
dook opted out of their non-con schedule. Really stunning that K would do such a thing when his team is garbage. They’d be playing daily if it was the Zion year.
