***OFFICIAL KSU at ISU THREAD***

[RhoadsRage]

must of been that great halftime speech again.

 

[rhillary]

17-4 K-State run to start the 2nd half. Imagine that.

Yeah, we do that. It is like the sun setting or the tides of the ocean. It just happens...:skeptical:

 

[PJZ]

Well, they are on fire...

Well, that seems to be the trend.

 

[CTAClone]

play nice. No reason to resort to name calling with one another.

 

[sodakjoe]

It is the same thing over and over. I don't know how anybody could think it was going to be any different. Craig is hurt, the guards are gassed and McDermott is being out coached.

Okay, I realize this is pattern, but do you really think McD's coaching overthrew an inbounds pass, or lost the handle on the ball at the top of the key? He may be getting outcoached, but our players acting like idiots is the reason we have these problems.

 

[Tre4ISU]

I can live with that foul. At least he is aggressive. FWIW, no call if I'm reffin.

 

[FiveStarCulture]

"Our players are acting like idiots." Nothing to do with coaching? Um....

 

[benjay]

I could handle losing a game like this if we didn't always lose every game like this.

 

[LeaningCy]

Time to move people from the courtside seats before someone gets seriously hurt.

 

[Chad]

wow...clemente seems like a nice young man

 

[ISUKyro]

Brackins is waking up!!

 

[sodakjoe]

"Our players are acting like idiots." Nothing to do with coaching? Um....

Well, do you blame McD for overthrowing the inbounds pass? Or bad ball handling? I don't.

You can blame McD for things like not prepping the team to beat a press. Or the team not being able to run a half-court offense against a zone. Or defending the guy on the weak side of the ball. It's not his fault when the players make a bad pass.

Time to move people from the courtside seats before someone gets seriously hurt.

That looked pretty rough - she went down pretty hard, from the looks of it.

 

[cyclones122]

I could handle losing a game like this if we didn't always lose every game like this.

Exactly, and if we hadn't lost 18 straight games to ranked opponents. This isn't just a one game, or one year thing.

 

[Im4State]

hmmmm... sluggish start to second half... it feels like a re-run... :sad:

 

[CloneIce]

Uh, it's a waste of a TO when you're about to get a free one from the media. Coaches hold off on TOs near the 16,12,8, and 4 minute marks all the time.

Not true. Taking a timeout before a media timeout is a strategy many coaches employ to break up the momentum of a run. You get two almost consecutive timeouts and it gives your team a chance to rest and settle down and hopefully get focused.

Of any coach I have followed, Gmac is the most concerned about saving timeouts for the end of the game. The last two minutes of the half don't mean a thing if we can't keep it together for the first 18.

 

[Tre4ISU]

"Our players are acting like idiots." Nothing to do with coaching? Um....

There has been so much in this game Brackins could do nothign about. Scotty has to hit shots, DG has to not turn the ball over in a simple half court pressure.

 

[Clones85']

Gilstrap tightens up that handle and he can play in the NBA. Until then.........

 

[ISUKyro]

WHAT@!!!! He's goaltending and then laying on the line!!!!
