Open Game Thread: K-State vs. Missouri

…NU is up 21-9 on KU right now. Huskers looking good, KU looking like ass.

KU has been making some seriously stupid mistakes. They look even dumber than us at times.

Get this line. Cole Aldrich: 0 points, 0 rebounds

Stuck on the road tonight, and I can’t get the game anywhere.

…just said that “the Tigers will be tested tonight at Kansas States.”

…in the NU/KU game. Bill Self’s about to have a cow.

I really don’t even care about our game.

I’d enjoy watching the Hawks lose much more.

With a giant, plastic corn cob on his head.

…needs to be punched in the face.

Ah, to be a student again. Those were the days.

Serious inquiry: I need two tickets to the KSU/MU game on 2/25. However, I’m not willing to pay face value, and I’m truthfully hoping that you just want to unload tickets.

If you’re interested in getting $30 max for two tickets, please feel free to contact me at the e-mail addy at the bottom of the page. Myself and an MU fan that happens to be relation would really appreciate it. Gracias.

And not even Norm Stewart.

No message.

LOL

Like, dude, I should be the coach.

Jake, just shoot from inside the perimeter.

Seniors making plays… :(

Turnover, Darren Kent.

Ron Anderson just made a sweet pass. I have never seen tat before.

…they think we’ll be gassed in 5 minutes and can’t run with Mizzou.

I respectfully disagree. One thing this team has going for it is that it is well conditioned.

That brick could best be described as booming.

Great D.

Kent will NEVER make that play above the rim.

Of course, he goes and gets a stupid foul right after that…

I don’t care if we lose, I just want to make them work for it.

Was it a point blank miss?

No one saw it. Fuck off and die, FSN.

Through my cheap speakers, and amazes me immensely

…a little Arthur Bryant’s sauce and a Boulevard Wheat make me miss home a little less.

Sorry, off topic.

First National Bank of Hope jingle is AWFUL.

Stupid bank jingles.

Yeah, that’s fair.

…“that ball is on its way to Junction City.”

Too bad it was headed toward Wamego.

Darren Kent gets out of position, gives up a layup, and picks up a cheap foul.

in the last 15 seconds.

I just saw Lu dribbling in the open court and almost died.

…in getting called for cheap fouls.

Look to score there. You got to the FT line.

No calls, of course.

…we’re using Mizzou’s aggressiveness against them. They love to charge at the hoop and dare you to take a charge. Our guys are taking them (and the refs are calling them).

I think NU scored less than 20 points in the 2nd half. Jesus.

They just showed him on the KU game, and he looks gray, and the bags under his eyes are worse than mine.

In short, he looks like Quinn Snyder.

Scary.

I haven’t seen these guys in a month!

you’re having a bad defensive night.

Eat it, Anderson.

He could hit 25+ tonight.

“I love this shit, and I’m movin’ to England. AAAAHAHHHAAAA!”

Two points down the toilet.

I wouldn’t mess w/ those elbows.

Guess they’re trying to help out the shitty team. LOL.

Out of breath? Hardly. Looks like they’re the ones who can’t handle the pace.

I KNEW Mizzou was a fraud. I’m glad we might be the ones to expose them, but we GOTTA keep scoring. At least the students full-bore in this one.

Typical.

is more of a liability

Please find Matt Lawrence in transition!

I got cocky, and then we start leaving Lawrence open again.

Poor personnel decisions here. Merriewether blew the D and Kent is just killing us. We won’t have any offense until Samuels comes back in.

Don’t help off Lawrence! Jesus, it’s LaceDarius Dunn all over again.

let Lawrence sit in the corner

The king of haltfime buckets.

That was DEEP.

in the paint=score and good basketball. Poor transition three point shots=poor basketball and no score.

we can keep up the defensive intensity and get the ball inside to Jamar in the second half

Because the next game is Texas. In Austin. And I’ll be there. And when I watch K-State play in Austin, we win.

of basketball I’ve been waiting for all year

but his productivity has dropped off to nothing this year. I mean, he adds virtually nothing to the team. Poor decisions, slow play, bad passes, no post moves. He could take a cue from Big Lu this season.

The Classy Cats are dancing in gray sweatpants and purple tank tops.

…Frank needs to be in there telling whomever is guarding Lawrence that he will not be yelled at for not playing help defense. He needs to be guarded so closely his defender knows what size his cup is.

Our other four can handle their other four. Stay with him.

…and Demarre Carroll is going to the line.

…Pullen has been better at point in this game than Clemente.

he will cool off I’m afraid. I love the confidence but when starts hitting like that he tends to make bad decisions in transition.

fuck it….I’m liking what I’m seeing.

Block Out!!!!!!!

Just got on TV. Awesome.

Siriusly, legit block.

The refs are just looking for it now, even when it might not be there.

…and then he made it.

to putting our foot on their neck and then we do something…..Like a fucking alley oop by Samuels!!!!!!!

Every time I miss a JamSam, I die a little inside.

That’s a tap-out, kids.

Another one. Keep em coming!!

Crap. Best we’ve looked in at least a month, and I get WyattVision.

…with a Jack Hartman and Ahearn Fieldhouse reference. Nice.

Should I be mad or not?

on Jamar Samuels. A trey and a block!

JamSam for three. Ridiculous.

I’m getting faint…

I love it.

Suck it, Tully Corcoran.

He’s figuring things out.

Hey…wha’ happened?

…is getting his ass ripped by Frank.

There, I said it.

We used their weaknesses against them all game.

Anderson has failed to use timeouts at key points to stop runs. When he did use one, it killed a 3-on-1 Mizzou fast break.

He is SO overrated as a coach.

…and then Luis Colon, of all people, drives to the hoop.

And Denis goes “And 1.”

Just put it down and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

And then Denis with the steal, the finish, and one. That could be the backbreaker.

He can be a great complimentary scorer.

Wyatt just brought that to my attention.

Wow. With Carroll and Lyons on the other side I never saw that coming.

He sort of faked the alley-oop and then laid it in over the lip.

this is great for their confidence.

It’s out of hand and they’re just as loud as when they started. And they need to be. Leads can evaporate quickly in this league if you let them. Just ask Nebraska.

doesn’t look very full on TV.

…Fred Brown is going to hear about that little up-and-under move.

that got smacked by NU?

I was walking to class today when the Wabash Cannonball came on my iPod. I figured that couldn’t have been a good omen.

Apparently I was right.

And, yes, I do have the Wabash Cannonball on my iPod. I happen to think it kicks ass. That’s right. Big whoop. Wanna fight about it?

(I love these16 hour work days) and was able to keep up with the game while at work, but couldn’t watch. From what I saw every time I looked up it was either: a layup by our big men, a three-pointer from Fred or Jake, or a charge on Mizzou. Tomorrow I will watch the game commercial free and probably enjoy it even more.

Thank you JESUS, we needed a big win like this. On to Austin!
