Ah, come the fuck on.

It's a bad loss, but it's our first loss at home all season.

Let's not start looking to replace a coach who was in the national championship game a couple of years ago just yet.

Y'all do still remember that this was supposed to be a complete rebuilding year, right?  And that Beard is the guy who got all of these transfer to want to play here instead of us going like 8-23, right?

We've lost to all the decent teams we've played except OU and lost to 2 shitty ones.

that and getting the shit kicked out of us on the boards.  KSU didn't even play that well.
Beard fucking sucks.

Huh? They damn near shot 50% for the game. They were able spread the floor to take away our collapsing defense and were able to make 3s when needed. They ran their game plan to almost perfection. I’m not even going to comment on your fucking stupid ass Beard take.

Tech lost a bunch of players after Beard left and yet they keep mowing down ranked teams.  You sure their coach wasn't the real reason they made that Championship run?  Gonna be fun to see how you feel when they come here and boat race their former coach in our home arena.  

We should have hired him.

Not looking to replace him at all. Not asking for him to beat Duke or Gonzaga but KSU at home…..we should run their corn eating asses out of the building every game. No excuse.

How far are you going to move those goalposts?

Yea we did. And it’s basketball. It’s a bad loss no doubt. This team will still be in the tournament and our defense gives us a chance every game. 
 

It’s like some of y’all haven’t ever watched college basketball.

We are experts at watching poorly coached bad basketball.  we know it when we see it.  Our D sucked this game.  they blew by us all game.

I;m not moving any goalposts, we got beat on the defensive boards like a rented mule and it cost us the game because they scored off them.

Our team made a lot of stupid plays down the stretch. I have no idea what they are looking at half of the time on defense either.

That baseline three they hit with 2 seconds left was a wide open look because our big decides to guard his guy instead of coming off to impact the shot. There was no time to do anything other than shoot the ball and our guy just stands there while someone else tries to close out from afar.

That and Bishop's strongman block were two of the more boneheaded plays I saw down the stretch.

What kind of program do y’all think we are? This isn’t the Kansas game in football.

You literally don’t know the difference between how we played under Shaka and how we do now. 
You’re such an expert you had to move the goalposts three times because you thought rebounding was our issue tonight.

that super awesome defense several of you were jerking off to during the terrible non-conference portion of the season sure has been pedestrian the past two games.

and when your offense is dogshit that gets you beat.

Counterpoint: we have a kid that does the worm on the sideline. THE WORM!!!!!!!!

Well, I think we are athletic enough to beat a shitty KSU team 

Yea if you think athleticism is all it takes to win. We shot 23% from 3. We missed many wide open three looks. College basketball is a game of fine margins. KSU made their shots, we only had one guy who could score. Welcome to basketball.

No, I don’t think athleticism is all it takes. But it should be all it takes to beat a shitty KSU team. I’m not expecting us to out play Baylor and Kansas but I do expect Texas to beat KSU, especially at home.

The refs even gifted us the possession where Allen was just walking around with the ball after getting a rebound and screaming his head off.  The refs just watched it.  It was so ridiculous they couldn't even call the travel.  Lol

That was odd.

They had 13 second chance points. We scored 8. They had one more total rebound. Rebounding wasn’t the fucking problem. Shooting 4-17 from three including 4 misses from 3 after offensive rebounds is why we lost.

Their whole careers Ramey and Jones have been good for three or four disappearing acts a year that cost us games we should have won.  This year is no different.

Tonight, their offensive disappearance and dumbass fouls reminded of their sometimes shitty play from last year.

Still hate how slowly this Texas offense walks the ball up to get into their offense -- Horns are so damn passive offensively...

if you think 3 point shooting was the problem you don't understand.  we suck at 3 point shooting.  the fact we hoisted up 17 is the problem.

we lost by 1 and gave up 5 more second chance points.

we still don't know how much of this is on Beard, and how much of this is due to the fact that we assembled this team essentially overnight, and none of these guys know how to play together. so many new faces, all of whom are used to playing a bigger, more focal point type role than they're playing, now finding themselves in different roles surrounded by new faces running a new system in a new conference. yeah, we kinda suck right about now, but that doesn't mean that we are a finished product, or that this is our ceiling, or that Beard sucks. he's been coaching here for all of three months. why don't we chill the F out, remember that we're playing with house money, and hope to see some much needed improvement.

I think it was you who talked about us getting into sets quicker in general last week. I also wish we had more guys willing to get out and run after boards but that’s certainly not the style Beard wants. Hopefully we at least get into the offensive half before the 22 second mark more often.

Actually it was probably defense that lost the game, as KSU outscored us 28-16 in the paint. Just driving to the rim uncontested a lot of the time.  -12 in paint points is not a recipe for winning.

You think 17 3s is a lot? If we averaged taking 17 per game we would rank 329 in attempts per game in the NCAA. Get real dude

I agree the defense was awful all night and then when we were fortunate enough to have them miss we gave them second chances.

Yeah during the 2nd half on the radio, Eddie seemed really frustrated with how easily K-State was able to get the shots that they wanted...

All reasonable points. But goddamn if “house money” isn’t a giant pet peeve of mine. It’s a logical fallacy and casino industry propaganda. Once it’s in your possession it’s no different from money you walked in with. They just want you to feel like it’s ok to blow it /rant

I don’t follow the basketball team much. I don’t understand stressing about the regular season. So long as you make the dance as a 1-10 seed you did alright. 
 

We are on track to do that, right?

Yeah, but we're going to come up with one or two upsets and win every game we're supposed to win from here on out.

to early to say what we're on track for. as of now it looks like we're going to finish below .500 in the league, and that will have us in an 8/9 or a 7/10 type game (as the 10). this team lacks athletes and shooters. we need guys like Carr and Disu to really step up and claim more dominant roles if we're going to turn this thing around. it's just hard when nobody really has a defined role.
