Good win, hung tough when it counted. If only we could make free throws, it would never have been in doubt.

MEH. It doesn't take it away but it's close. If we lost to TTU at home, I'd totally agree with you. We lost to them on the road. In college, there's a reason why road wins are given more "points" if you get that win. Everyone knows it's hard to win on the road for most teams.
Yeah, no joke. I was trying to decide if I was stupid or not for thinking that time needed to be taken OFF the clock.
Me, too -- I was certain they were thinking the wrong way, until i saw the TV-clock go up to 18 seconds — then I thought, am I really backward on this?
Great game today. Free throws were awful but that's fixable. Great bounce back game from Clyburn and Lucious. I thought Percy played pretty tough today underneath the basket even though he seems to have lost his shooting touch. Noticed Booker didn't play, although he wasn't really needed. Babb was phenomenal! Many others were great as well! Great day to be a Cyclone!

I kept yelling at the TV that you would take time OFF the clock if it stopped. I didn't understand why they kept thinking time would be added.

Best Stat of the game-2second chance points for K State. They average 40% of their points on second chance points.
He had a few good rebounds, but I had to break it to you, but Gibson never had a "shooting touch." Watch his film. 80% of his baskets are uncontested. He's terrible when someone contests him.
If TTech beats Baylor, KSU, OU, or OSU in Lubbock. I'll agree. If we are the only one. Putrid.
Well they shot pretty darn well (were at 80% at one point in the 2nd half), so there weren't as many 2nd chance opportunities needed.
Except for anyone who knows anything about how this works knows that a road loss counts for less than a home loss. It's a terrible loss, but I'm saying it counts for less. If you don't know this, then it's something you have to learn about the NCAA Tournament.
In the end, if we are going for an at-large bid, the selection committee will *obviously* take note of it, but if we have a few more good wins, it will be moot for them especially coming on the road.
Dang........where was this team against Tech?
Good game....sure would have been a lot easier if they shot free throws better. They have been pretty good this year, but today was terrible.
Finally did well on the boards, especially keeping the other team off the offensive board.
Great game by Will, KL, McGee and Niang. Melvin did a great job on the boards. I thought Babb played great D on McGruder without fouling him.
McGee has to learn to watch for those screens coming on him, and how to avoid them. Interior D is still a problem, but I don't think this team can fix it.
Good job today.

I disagree, I have seen him make lots of contested shots. He really is in a shooting funk. He needs to practice. Those really hurt us today also, he missed some barely contested shots. I would be practicing every spare minute I have.
I'd disagree with that. He had a pretty good post up one hand shot last year. He seems like he might've hit a sophomore slump with the emergence of Niang but I have confidence he'll be pretty good by the time he's done here.

Can Niang please condition himself to play all 40 minutes? Our offense is 100x better when he's on the floor. Seriously.
