and then the first back door cut…

than friday night. i think we have finally settled in.

And they’re executing better than us at it. Yikes.

Jake is the point guard.

Not Denis.

When are you going to accept it?

The bucket interference on Judge was TERRIBLE, travel calls all over the places, strange offensive pick calls…

A step late on everything. No vertical explosion.

A year off and then three games in four days, plus a tough practice, probably will do that to you.

Sucks for us.

Lower scoring.

We had something going early, but Dayton’s made some defensive adjustments. Plus, I think we’re tiring out because I’m just not seeing as much offensive movement as we need, to get guys open.

That, and we’re missing layups because guys just don’t seem to have legs. Frank must have really ran them yesterday.

I’ll take a 35-28 lead at halftime.

That’s with several breakdowns allowing wide-open 3s for Dayton, and CK having foul trouble for the last 10 minutes or so.

Need to get him involved in the second half and shore some things up, and this is winnable.

Only one missed free throw, several made 3s, great drives and passing decisions, good defense.

Also, kudos to Martavious for some excellent minutes early in the game when things were tenuous. He must have impressed in practice yesterday.

Biggest lead of the game.

Great steal by Dom and Denis with the unobstructed finish.

Jake took a shot to the ribs (no foul) and is out for now. Hope he’s OK, because he’s been by far our best player.

I’ve given a lot of crap to Dom this year, but he’s really stepping up right now. Rebounding, defense, turnovers — you name it. He’s finally finding his game again.

Jamar misses 2 FTs, Wally with the rebound and a great feed to a driving Dom for a sick dunk.

Then Jamar gets a dumb, needless backcourt foul. Great.

we are widening the lead which is good to see and making adjustments. where is everybody else today bracket???

im still mourning but a win here would help me alot. sometimes we can shoot 4’s but that possession we couldnt to save our lives. we are being aggressive for sure.

we def need to make our ft’s. go to the line and make our shoots, win this game and go home.

so I guess Jake felt better after half yes?

but we did get a three.

where are you watching this game from? did you go to kstate

make your free throws

seriously.

we escaped with a victory, barely. nice job state.

Way to step up, guards.

Jamar needs to get his head straight. I think he spent more time chasing Puerto Rican tail this week than he did thinking basketball, and it showed. Kicking that guy was absolutely inexcusable and made me embarrassed as a K-State fan. Highly disappointing.

Sutton had a great game. Really impacted the game with his defense and rebounding.

Kelly needs to get a lot better at defense and rebounding. He could be a monster, but he has to want it.

Wally grew up a lot today. He’s gonna be big for us from here on out.

I thought McGruder played pretty well, too. But by the same token, Jordan took a bit of a step back this week. That was to be expected given that this was his first time going against really good Division I big men.

Finally, props to the K-State fans who made the trip. Hearing the K-S-U chant was great.

I think 2-1 is roughly what we were hoping for. Beating No. 18/21 was sweet. That will be a great quality win for us and showed what we are capable of.

“He played his rear end off today. He was active defensively.”

“The game Friday got away from us when Dom got his 4th foul. He brings unbelievable energy and does all the little things right.”

Also, Dayton had won 20 of 21 games decided by 5 points of less. Gritty group, but we found a way.

Pretty one-sided coverage, I thought.

Especially after the technical on Jamar. “Could this be the turning point?” Uh, yeah, dumbass, because we got pissed and scored the next 7 points.

Doesn’t even look like the same guy.

Anyone else sticking around for Ole Miss-Villanova? Game’s about to tip on ESPN.

I’m really interested to see how the Rebels do in the one. I think if they can knock off the Wildcats, we’re gonna feel a lot better about that loss.

8-0 already.

Hey, Ole Miss, why the hell couldn’t you miss those shots against us? Bastards.

Awesome. Jay Wright is getting pissed.
