KILL THE KATS
K State has thumped us in football the last two seasons AND beat us on our home court in basketball last year.  What's it going to take to put the universe back in order?

this should be exciting.

a blow out win on the road would sure make a statement. if AJ has a stellar shooting night, which he is due, we should really take care of business.

Hook 'em.  Kill the Pussies.  Kats that is.

please god

for the love of burnt orange and hook 'em horns please let my horns whoop the shit outta them kats. Living in this hellhole is bad enough, much less having to listen to the kansas version of the agros rant and rave. I believe what ever I've done to upset you, were even w/ the two football loses. So lord postpone world hunger, peace, etc. and let the horns destroy the purple agros tonight....

Yes

My comment from this week's TBR

I did find out our adjusted D was 78th on December 7th and our Offense was #1.

I see Adj D Rank 34 right now, but just about the same. Our offense has stayed at the top, and our defense just keeps getting better.

Love it.

Johnson

has nice post moves, but it seems like when he's on the left elbow, he always wants to drive right, even if the defender is leaning right like this case.

He could've made a great move by just driving left. Instead he turns the ball over.

IMO

Good call

He loves that move to the middle of the paint. Teams will scout that. Needs to drop step back to the baseline.

His mom

will be proud. And I am as well.

by horndude on Feb 25, 2008 8:18 PM CST up reply actions  

I think he's our best defender

Not nearly quick enough for Beasley, but he disrupts better than anyone I've ever seen at Texas. So long as we have help for him when Beasley beats Connor with quickness, I love the idea of putting Connor on him - our best shot blocker/disrupter.

--PB--

by Peter Bean on Feb 25, 2008 8:18 PM CST up reply actions  

not totally

I kinda figured he'd go away from putting D-James on him, at least initially, to keep James from getting in foul trouble.  If Beasley starts lighting up Conner or Gary, I could see him giving Damion some time on him, too.

Horns are looking good. AJ or Day-mo need to knock down a shot.  Beasley is gonna score 30+; and that's ok.  Just stop the rest of them.

11-10 Texas, under 12

KSU getting too many offensive rebounds and second looks. Our transition D has been pretty good though.

Offense looks fine but may struggle now that AJ and Connor are both out with foul trouble. Time for Wingman to step up again.

Good Half, 30 all

Beasley goes nuts but K State can't shoot from the outside, get back in transition D, or hold on to the ball. They did do a great job on the off glass though.

Texas survives a half with AJ and Connor on the bench. Good minutes from Wingman and Gary. Texas had a few too many turnovers and missed too many FTs but DJ is saving us so far. Damion James is forcing a little. Needs to settle down and attack the basket.
