*** KU vs KSU 03/03/10 Game Thread ***

[Saulbadguy]

Good make-up call there.

[Saulbadguy]

Wasn't good enough apparently.

Fire-codes weren't around when it was built, apparently.

[Braincase]

And 1

[WilliamTheIrish]

Wasn't good enough apparently.

Even now, it isn't a good enough copy cat.

[Saulbadguy]

Well, crap. Duke cuts the lead to 5. 40-35 Maryland.

[Braincase]

COLLINS!

[DeezNutz]

Cats tough on the boards. Damn.

[KC_Connection]

OREBS

[Saulbadguy]

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

can somebody get a rebound?

[WilliamTheIrish]

Aww JAMSAM...

[kstater]

Interesting

[Saulbadguy]

Calling out "Psycho T" ROFL

[Braincase]

LOL

[DeezNutz]

Awkward looking inbound there.

[Buehler445]

Glad to see we came away from that offensive reboundfest with no points for KSU.

[KC_Connection]

Cats tough on the boards. Damn.

http://kenpom.com/factors.php?t=o&s=7

[Braincase]

And more Sherron!

[kstater]

About time to shut the lights off. Big 12 games end in 2 hours.

[KC_Connection]

About time to shut the lights off. Big 12 games end in 2 hours.
I thought it was only the Big East?

[WilliamTheIrish]

Louuuuuuuu hit a FT after the TO.

[kstater]

Under 8:

KSU 55
KU 67

[DeezNutz]

http://kenpom.com/factors.php?t=o&s=7

I knew they were up there. Didn't know the exact ranking.

That Florida guy can coach a little bit.

And Self's ok, I suppose.

[Saulbadguy]

I thought it was only the Big East?

LOL. HBBIQ :clap:

[WilliamTheIrish]

About time to shut the lights off. Big 12 games end in 2 hours.

Definitely piss me off if I miss the opening 5 minutes of BYU/CSU

[GoHuge]

Game, set, match.....Shhiiittt!!!

[Braincase]

Not too shabby a game for a secondary sport.

[DeezNutz]

Decent resume at KU...

[KC_Connection]

Big FT and OREB there....it appears to be going understated on the broadcast.

[Saulbadguy]

Offensively we've gone in to a shell.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Oh Luuuuuuuuuu

[kstater]

Make the damn easy ones

[Braincase]

"You;ve gotta make 2 foot shots when you're open"
Yeah....

[DeezNutz]

Bailed out.

[Buehler445]

Nice trap there by KSU. That was really good.

[Braincase]

COLLINS!

[Braincase]

KU now up by 16

[Saulbadguy]

1 FG in 10 minutes. That'll be the story.

[WilliamTheIrish]

FUCK!

[KC_Connection]

DAGGER

[ArrowheadHawk]

Nice!!!

[DeezNutz]

Score will not be reflective of the game.

[kstater]

Need some points here.

[Buehler445]

I know it was after the foul, but that block was NASTY.

[Saulbadguy]

Game over. Good game for about 25 minutes.

[KC_Connection]

Score will not be reflective of the game.
KSU battles...it's not going to get out much farther.

[Braincase]

Time to start nursing every second out of the clock.

[Saulbadguy]

man2man we are going to get dominated.

[Buehler445]

There you go huge white man. Work that big ass.

[WilliamTheIrish]

I didn't see that foul

[kstater]

Well if you're going to call a foul, it's on CK, not on Wally.

[Mr. Laz]

Big kudos to Xavier Henry and Tyshawn Taylor tonight. They both have struggled some this year but tonight they really kept us going.

[KC_Connection]

ooooooo

[DeezNutz]

Nasty.

[Buehler445]

Aldrich is big.

[Braincase]

Pullen is going to feel that rejection in the morning.

[Saulbadguy]

Still no field goals.

[Mr. Laz]

eat shit pullen!!! ROFL

[Braincase]

'Hawks by 18

[kstater]

Under 4:

KSU 57
KU 75

[Buehler445]

X playing well on the boards. It's nice to see him not suck.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Wally will dominate in this league. That dude is going to be a bad, bad man.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Did they call a travel?

[KC_Connection]

X playing well on the boards. It's nice to see him not suck.
He's probably been our best player in February if you look at the stats.

[Sure-Oz]

nice job by ksu for making 1 bucket in over 12 min

[KC_Connection]

I guess it's March, though.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Did they call a travel?
Posted via Mobile Device

Think it was a foul. Maybe a swipe at the ball.

[Mr. Laz]

Did they call a travel?
Posted via Mobile Device
yep ... on Henry after than rebound.

[Sure-Oz]

kinda disappointed by the 2nd half, i expected ksu to come out strong

[Mr. Laz]

Think it was a foul. Maybe a swipe at the ball.
ref with the grey hair was rolling his arms for traveling. :shrug:

[Braincase]

Foul on the floor

[WilliamTheIrish]

CK (you idiot)

[Saulbadguy]

He's probably been our best player in February if you look at the stats.
Playing very well, going against the trend of Self ruining sure fire NBA lottery picks.

[KC_Connection]

Pretty sure it's double bonus there.

[Buehler445]

Wally will dominate in this league. That dude is going to be a bad, bad man.

He is a freshman, right?

If he can keep his head on straight, he will be a BAMF.

[Braincase]

Lane violation?

[KC_Connection]

Playing very well, going against the trend of Self ruining sure fire NBA lottery picks.
Haha, which ones were those?

[kstater]

Really needed that to drop.

[Braincase]

Damn Clemente's quick

[Saulbadguy]

He is a freshman, right?

If he can keep his head on straight, he will be a BAMF.

It's all mental right now with Wally. He'll be ok if he keeps at it.

[Buehler445]

Did they kill the feed? I'm going to murder someone.

[Saulbadguy]

Did they kill the feed? I'm going to murder someone.

Big XII FOULFEST!!

[Buehler445]

Nice move.

[Braincase]

Back to 18

[kstater]

CK you idiot don't follow Sherron out to halfcourt.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Big XII FOULFEST!!

Heh.

[Buehler445]

Big XII FOULFEST!!

Only when KSU comes to town :D

[Saulbadguy]

Pretty ho-hum senior night for baby daddy.

[KC_Connection]

Big XII FOULFEST!!
So it isn't just the Big East, eh.

[KC_Connection]

Pretty ho-hum senior night for baby daddy.
Scored 7 straight when it was close in the 2nd half.

[KC_Connection]

get that garbage out of here

[Buehler445]

That chick in the grey was HAWT.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Scored 7 straight when it was close in the 2nd half.

DVD!/RR

[Braincase]

We don't lose on Senior Night, folks!

[WilliamTheIrish]

get that garbage out of here

That's why Frank prefers the pull up 3.

[Buehler445]

Jesus, I didn't realize X had 19. Wow.

[KC_Connection]

This win pretty much locks up a #1 seed for us. It's now just a question of where we'll go.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Get off the court!

[KC_Connection]

That intentional foul is going to hurt us in the point differential and KenPom rankings.

lol.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Awesome. Nice job Frank.

[kstater]

LMAO

[KC_Connection]

Haha, Frank Martin.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Congrats Sherron, enjoy senior night. Now bring us one more home

[kstater]

To be fair, DC was standing on the line for nearly 2 minutes

[Braincase]

Thanks for 4 years, Big Daddy

[kstater]

Final:

#5 KSU 82
#2 KU 65

[KC_Connection]

To be fair, DC was standing on the line for nearly 2 minutes
I've got no problem with him calling timeout there. Thought it was funny.

Congrats to Collins on the great career.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Dave Armstrong: "Bill Self and Sherron Collins over these four years have become like father and son".

The hilarity one could have that statement.

[Braincase]

Good game, K-State.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Good defense fellas. Nice game.

[doomy3]

Anyone have a stream for Sherron's speech?

[ChiTown]

GREAT GAME, Hawk fans!

Your TEAM kicked our asses. I hand it to you and your team, theyare amazing when they want to turn it on.

RE_RUN

Your package will be in the mail tomorrow morning. Congrats!:clap:

KU hadn't played this well since beating Texas, they needed this.

Thanks and good luck the rest of the way.

Numba 1 seed locked down now suckas

[the Talking Can]

ROCK CHALK!

[Al Bundy]

Hellafied defense KU. I want Collins playing in secondary for the Buccaneers.

[ChiTown]

I was sweating it out, Was planning on dropping off the goods at your office if I lost tomorrow..

Thanks and good luck the rest of the way.

Lucky for you that you didn't. No one would be there. I'll be traveling tomorrow.

[ROYC75]

Great game.

Good Luck Kittens, see ya again, real soon.

[Reerun_KC]

Lucky for you that you didn't. No one would be there. I'll be traveling tomorrow.

:eek:

Well I figured you would of had a receptionist or something there...


I was going to buy you one of those small bottles tiny bottles and leave a note, then have someone give you the real one later...

[WilliamTheIrish]

That foul fest caused me to miss the fist 10 minutes of the 2nd half of aTm/OSU.

Maryland up on Duke/54-49. 11 to play.

[Ceej]

If it came down to it I'd much, much much rather see you guys as a #1 seed than Duke.

www.610sports.com

I'm not finding it on there... How do you get to it? All I am getting is The Tony Bruno Show when I click on "Listen."

[KevB]

I wasn't in this thread at all, but stopped in to say good game KU. Cats made a nice run early in the 2nd, but couldn't sustain it.

[WilliamTheIrish]

5-0 run for Duke. 54-54 9:11

[BWillie]

They need to replace Holly Rowe w/ Ms. Knowles as the sideline reporter on ESPN. She was hot, and did a good job.

[Ceej]

Duke is fairly average outside their big 3.

[WilliamTheIrish]

C'mon TwERPS.

[KC_Connection]

If Duke wins this game and thus the ACC, there's no way they don't get a #1 seed with their RPI.

[Sure-Oz]

Congrats jayhawk fans

[Reerun_KC]

Way to go OSU, you freaking tools... Blow you whole fucking wad against KU with the game of your lifes, then fall on your nuttsack at aTm....

[WilliamTheIrish]

Nolan Smith makes it a 7-0 run. Duke up 2

[ROYC75]

C'mon TwERPS.


I'm with ya, I want to see Dook lose too.....

[BigOlChiefsfan]

Wasn't as much fun as the overtime game - but congrats to KU.

[Lloyd Christmas]

Pretty good night for KU fans. 4 star running back from Blue Springs Darrian Miller committed as well

[ROYC75]

It would be something to see KSU get a # 1, I don't see much of a way for it to happen now,unless Duke loses and loses again Sat.

I guess stranger things have happened.

[ROYC75]

Pretty good night for KU fans. 4 star running back from Blue Springs Darrian Miller committed as well

Cool.

[Braincase]

Pretty good night for KU fans. 4 star running back from Blue Springs Darrian Miller committed as well

67-65 UM @ 3:42

[Ceej]

Dude, can ball. But, I like the nickname Grievis Trashquez. Bada bing!

[WilliamTheIrish]

Nolan Smith w/20 points.

[WilliamTheIrish]

UM +2 1:20

[WilliamTheIrish]

Oh my! UM +4

[irishjayhawk]

Anyone know the song that was playing in the video while Collins was giving his TV interview?

I'm hoping KU Sports releases the video(s) but I'm not holding my breath since they've released ZERO videos in the past. Shame.

I think it was Your Hand in Mine by Explosions in the Sky, but it was hard to tell.

[Ceej]

Please, make your GD freethrows!

[WilliamTheIrish]

Vasquez with a prayer as the shot clock winds down. UM +4 at the FT line. 26.2 to play

[Ceej]

Sort of reminds me of those guys on Jersey Shore.

[WilliamTheIrish]

That'll do it.

Maryland Storm the Court?

Oh dear god!

[KC_Connection]

Duke's best road win is at Clemson. Makes me a bit skeptical of them.

[Reerun_KC]

And YES OSU, YOU FUCKING SUCK!

[Ceej]

Duke's best road win is at Clemson. Makes me a bit skeptical of them.

Makes perfect sense. Not a whole lot to be scared about outside their top three scorers.

[Reerun_KC]

KU would run Duke by 20.....

KSU could win the B12 tournament and get it done that way.

[Reerun_KC]

KSU could win the B12 tournament and get it done that way.

KU vs KSU three peet?

[SPchief]

Its been a whole six games since they've won against duke and they storm the court?

[Silock]

Cruised to a great win tonight! Of course, that's only after KSU played us hard in the 1st half and half of the 2nd. They really do have a fantastic team, and I think they should also be a 1 seed. I think KSU is REALLY, REALLY good. Congrats on your season, Wildcat fans (if there are any here; I can't remember).

[Reerun_KC]

Its been a whole six games since they've won against duke and they storm the court?

It's a mock up on phog. Their resident t-shirt guy thinks it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. I'm contemplating asking for a blow up of the sherron graphic and submitting to cafepress or something.

[HC_Chief]

Its been a whole six games since they've won against duke and they storm the court?

No doubt.

Props to KSU tonight. They played their asses off. Too bad the goddamn refs went all Sybil on both teams. Frigging terrible officiating.

KSU is a talented team with very good coaching. Pucker factor was high until late in the second half. 52% from the field in the first half? Seriously? Dayum

[Reerun_KC]

Anyone have a picture of Aldrich blocking Pullen on that layup late in the game?

[irishjayhawk]

I also heard Martin made their team stay for Collins' speech, true?

[Ceej]

Lavin just picked SU to win it all.


Whew.

[the Talking Can]

I also heard Martin made their team stay for Collins' speech, true?

yup....hard not to like the guy in spite of his rectangular head

[KC_Connection]

Lavin just picked SU to win it all.


Whew.

They're really good, can't fault him there.

[Ceej]

They're really good, can't fault him there.

Oh, not at all. Just glad he picked them and not us. Call me superstitious.

[HC_Chief]

yup....hard not to like the guy in spite of his rectangular head

lol

Classy move on Martin's part. KSU's AD better get his shit together quick. If they lose Martin to Miami....

[Silock]

I also heard Martin made their team stay for Collins' speech, true?

Good god, that's fucking classy if true.

[irishjayhawk]

In light of Sherron's expressed goals, I thought I'd post a graphic I was toying with since the beginning of the season. An emblem of our (hopefully long) run in the tourney:<br /><br /><br /> Three versions: 1) My favorite:<br /> <img src="http://i.imgur.com/vfP2Xl.png" /> <br /><br />2) A T-shirt style:<br /> <img src="http://imgur.com/YVbCKl.jpg" /> <br /><br />3) An alternate version of #1:<br /> <img src="http://imgur.com/NZ6hRl.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />I tried going with team stardom and it worked for a while but then the lengths of names factored in. Hence, Robinson at the top and Junemann in bigger font than Reid.

[Titty Meat]

Howd K-states front court play so good yet they lose by so much?

[KC_Connection]

Howd K-states front ourt play so good yet they lose by so much?

You mean their back court.

[Titty Meat]

You mean their back court.

When I was watching K-State was out rebounding and blocking the shit out of Morris.

[Mr. Kotter]

IJH,

You have way too much fuggin' time on your hands. Get a life. Soon.

Lunardi has KSU as the 4th #1 after duke's loss

[chiefsfan987]

Final:

#5 KSU 82
#2 KU 65

:spock:

[Tactical Funky]

I wasn't sure about the guy when he first took over HC duties at K-State, but I've grown to really like and respect Frank Martin. In fact, he's made it more difficult for me to hate the Wildcats. He's often fiery and animated on the court, but by all accounts and observations is one heck of a guy and quite classy to opposing coaches and players (tonight in particular with his friendly interaction with Self and Collins).


I'm now going to go vomit after admitting that... :Lin:

[blazzin311]

Good god, that's ****ing classy if true.

No shit. I already respected the hell out of Frank Martin and the job he's doing there at K-State...that just adds to the respect I have for the man. Hell of a coach. If KU didn't have Self I'd have no problem with Martin as KU's coach. That being said I'm super glad KU's got Self.

[ROYC75]

KU would run Duke by 20.....

KSU is better than Dook University. East coast bias has them ranked so high, they are on the playing field of Texas.

[ROYC75]

Martin is a class act, KSU should be proud of him and reward him for what it's worth. I know he will make it a pain in the *** for KU, but that's what makes this game what it is, rivalry's, good competition.

KSU's AD better have the check book open , this guy is going to get his payday real soon by somebody.

[ROYC75]

Lunardi has KSU as the 4th #1 after duke's loss

Stupid KSU fans.....thinkin they would have a chance.

Dumb Dumb Dumb


Most of the shots they DID make looked like bullshit shots anyways.

Shit he isn't going to stay in Mancrappin. Theres too munch recruiting in better venues. Why do you think Bob Huggins left? YEah you can say his alma mater was a factor but he wants to recruit on east coast and not some farm land where the entire school is over shadowed by KU's bball program. Lets get real here.

Despite Loss, KSU Moves To #1 Seed In Bracketology
ESPN noted Bracketologist Joe Lunardi moved K-State to the #1 seed in the West late Wednesday night, despite the loss to Kansas.

Interestingly enough, Duke stays ahead of KU in the Pomeroy ratings, despite their loss and our win over a top 5 opponent. Interesting.

East. Coast. Bias.

[Saccopoo]

Now tell me how the hell does that happen? :banghead:

Because you are suffering from an intergalactic time warp...it's really 1991 and the Mark Randall led 'Hawks are going into the title game against the heavily favored Laettner led Blue Devils.

Either that or it's the Roy Williams fucking typical tournament meltdown where he pissed away a 10 point lead with 2 minutes to go to Duke, effectively ruining Boschee's pro career in a single game.

[veist]

Now tell me how the hell does that happen? :banghead:

I'm not too worried about Duke to be honest, look at how Coach K is running his guys. All three of Scheyer, Singler and Smith are playing like 35+ minutes a game. Those legs aren't fresh at all.

ku and ksu would rape the shit out of duke

Howd K-states front court play so good yet they lose by so much?

Defensively, k-state sucked in the first half. Offensively they played above average. 2nd half was pretty much the exact opposite.

Well they could keep Delonte 300K to keep the recruits coming in...:D

[RockChalk]

I also heard Martin made their team stay for Collins' speech, true?

I don't know about this. I've read in the paper and heard on the radio that Martin was in the locker room screaming at KState for about 15-20 minutes following the game. This would have been during Collins speech.

I know a bunch of people there, so I'll try to confirm

No reason to scream at them all, they played about as good as they could of given the impact of the game...

No one expected them to win.

He will never pull a Roy Williams /SaulBadGuy

No, he won't go coach for his alma mater (Florida International).

Well, KSU not scoring for about 10min in the 2nd half would sure as shit piss me off as a coach.

Same - but credit where credit is due, KU played tremendous defense. Still, they missed some easy, easy shots.

Must be nice having a monopoly on DC. I thought they were paying him more than that, though. /shrug

That would be a tough fuckin bracket imo.

[BWillie]

ku and ksu would rape the shit out of duke

There is east coast bias, but there is also midwest bias by people who live in the midwest. Duke is a good team. Trust me, they are. They could win the national championship if they stay hot shooting from 3. They probably won't win it though. But to say KSU would dismantle Duke, I don't think that is giving them much credit. Scheyer, Singler, and Smith are real good good players w/ experience. Coach K hasn't won that many games for nothing.

[Silock]

That would be a tough fuckin bracket imo.

Great bracket for KU, though.

[DJay23]

God I hope he's right and we get Tennessee as our 4 seed.

[Sure-Oz]

Ku going all the way? X definetly has shown up lately

[Reerun_KC]

Ku going all the way? X definetly has shown up lately

Its so hard to tell Sure-OZ. Once you get down into the E8 or the F4 it becomes a crap shoot.... KU has just as good of a chance as anyone, but doesn't mean crap...

That is why they play the games. I would expect KU to make the F4 at a min, Win it all? We will just have to wait and see.

[Lzen]

Great bracket for KU, though.

I agree.

[Titty Meat]

How is K-state a 1 seed?

[Lzen]

Don't know if anyone posted this but I don't recall seeing it.

Sherron's speech.

Always nice to beat the goat fuckers.

Next the pussies of MU.

[Saulbadguy]

How is K-state a 1 seed?

5 losses, 4 of them in the #1 conference in the RPI.

Quite a few quality wins, 0 bad losses.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

I think KSU is a 1 seed. After KU, UK and Syracuse who else you gonna put in there? Purdue? Hell no. Duke. No freaking way. KSU is the choice IMO.

Ohio St.

[Saulbadguy]

Ohio St.

They may enter the conversation based on Evan Turner not being healthy earlier in the year, but that is kind of stupid. Their RPI is not as good as Duke or KSU nor is their overall record, plus they play in a weaker conference than both.

[sedated]

Ohio St.

They are up there with KSU and Duke, at least when it comes to the eye test, but they don't have the resume numbers. 7 losses is a lot for a #1 seed.

I didn't realize their RPI was so poor (as their efficiency stats are as good as any team), but they are still an option for it. It all comes down to the conference tournaments, though.

[sedated]

Syracuse
Kansas
Kentucky
----
Duke
KSU
Ohio State
----
Villanova
Purdue
West Virginia
Michigan State
New Mexico

The way the talent looks right now, its pretty important to stay as one of the top 2 #1 seeds. One team in the 2nd tier will get bumped up into a #1, leaving only 2 teams from the 2nd tier as #2 seeds. Syracuse and Kansas would end up with an injured Purdue, a struggling Villanova, 7-loss Mich State, flawed WVU, or even New Mexico as their #2.

[BWillie]

I usually agree w/ Linardi, but I think he's smokin' crack right now if he thinks K-State is a #1 seed as now. For them to get a #1, they pretty much have to win out.

I don't see how Villanova isn't in the discussion. Like K-State, they get to play a Top 2 team in the country twice. They really have no bad losses, and they play in arguably the #1 conference in America. They've beat Maryland, Georgetown, West Virginia, and if they beat West Virginia in their finale and go to the conference final in the Big East I would put them as the #1 seed.

[KC_Connection]

I think West Virginia can beat anybody in the NCAA when they are right.

[CoMoChief]

SHit put TEN in there. Theyre they only team to beat #1 and #2 team this season.

[CoMoChief]

I think West Virginia can beat anybody in the NCAA when they are right.

When are they ever "right"? I think they are the most overrated bball I've seen this season.

[KC_Connection]

When are they ever "right"? I think they are the most overrated bball I've seen this season.

When they beat A&M on a neutral court, beat Ohio St, and lost to Syracuse by one point.

They are 12-5 in the Big East (and have a chance at 2nd place in the conference if they beat Villanova), so they have to be doing something right, no?

[Titty Meat]

Ohio St.

This. I wouldn't want to play them in the tourney.

K-State's played a tougher schedule.
