Thanks

To my surprise, it appears that ESPN360 is not carrying the game tonight?

Guess I was wrong

but the raptorsnation.net feed is much smoother than espn360.com.

DAMION for 3!

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?

KILL THE KATS!

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....

Wow

Our defensive efficiency has really sky rocketed of late. Now we're #31.

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.

Terrific Start

Foul on Beasley. DJ agressive early. Connor with a block. Not getting killed on the glass.

Whew

Beasley called for charge. Probably a good call.

Still, you don't realize how good Beasley is until he plays your team. He's much quicker than I realized.

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

by goingforthecorner on Feb 25, 2008 8:16 PM CST   0 recs

Good call

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

--PB--

by PB @ BON on Feb 25, 2008 8:17 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Wants to go to

his right hand. He hasn't developed the left yet. Makes the same move regardless of where he is on the court.

is anyone else AMAZED

that Rick put Connor on beasley (at least when he's down low)?  and he's actually doing a pretty good job?

by billyzane on Feb 25, 2008 8:16 PM CST   0 recs

His mom

will be proud. And I am as well.

by horndude on Feb 25, 2008 8:18 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

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 PB @ BON on Feb 25, 2008 8:18 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

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.

Fine start

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.

too many

...early turnovers.  They're a good defensive team, but we can't try to force things.

by junglerules on Feb 25, 2008 8:20 PM CST   0 recs

Like!

KSU's guards will kill them before Beasley can touch the ball.  Need more pressure.  DJ, stop that now.

Go boom, mothers. Please, just go boom.

AJ Abrams with a terrific look there. He could've jacked one there. Finds Damion for the better shot.

Fouls mounting

We're doing a great job of making the right Wildcats shoot outside shots. They're doing what they do on the offensive glass, though. We gotta clear the boards.

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.

Hopefully the nation is watching this game. If DJ plays awesome, he might get some POY consideration as well. The OU coach thinks he should get some POY love.
