Around SBN: Identifying The 19th-Best Team In Baseball

OPEN GAME THREAD: Arkansas-Pine Bluff

Tonight's opponent is 0-9 after its thrashing Saturday at the hands of Missouri.

The Golden Lions have a sub-250 RPI. This is as close to a must-win game as we will have all season.

Don't know what else to say after that. Anyone else even planning to watch this one? I will, just because we're likely to break 100 and Wally Judge could have some fireworks.

Tipoff is at 7 p.m.

I'll watch if I can get the stream

Sure I’ll watch. I’ve missed the cats too much this year, and hey, a good butt-kicking is almost as much fun as watching KU lose. Almost.

How on earth

does this game get on 360, but not the Alabama game? Sigh.

Rights

South Alabama had the rights on Saturday, and their TV package sucks.

Home games are much easier to promote.

I’m going to watch. I haven’t seen a game since the Washington State game, where my seat wasn’t good.

Pullen is doing his best AJ Abrams impression...

complete with sleeve.

8 points so far.

Jake 8 – UAPB 4

Pullen for All-American

I think it is a lock if he plays this well the rest of the year. Probably not first-team, but certainly 2nd or 3rd.

by Sean T on Dec 21, 2009 7:18 PM CST reply actions  

The way Beasley for Player of the Year was a lock?

Never underestimate the ability of K-State to get screwed.

by BracketCat on Dec 21, 2009 7:55 PM CST up reply actions  

True

You can’t underestimate the Hansborough (Beasley was better)/Tebow (NOT a Heisman finalist his last year)/Crouch (how in the heck did he win a Hesiman?) affect. Been around for ever, everyone knows him…

Merriweather for three...

Very elite run here...

Great defense, excellent transition offense, and imposing your will via athleticism.

That’s a Top 15 team right there.

Sorry PJ

I’m all wrapped up watching a team that sure doesn’t look like one of the worst in the country. Man they fight hard.

by Sean T on Dec 21, 2009 7:50 PM CST reply actions  

Right now it looks like

the only things were better at than they are is shooting threes and forcing turnovers.

Not that either of those things is inconsequential, but I’d expect more statistical dominance here.

KSU leads the country in FT attempts per game?

Too bad they also don’t lead the country in make %. Already 13 attempts in this one.

Ugly first half

Frank: “The way we played was a disgrace to the game. We got annihilated on the rebounds and some guys need to grow up.”

by BracketCat on Dec 21, 2009 8:08 PM CST reply actions  

No white Americans in the NBA

It starts off with an interview with an all American guard from ND who didn’t get any NBA time. He thinks it is because he’s white. The interviews are saying it is because white Americans (but not white international players?) aren’t physically talented enough. Weird.

by Sean T on Dec 21, 2009 8:16 PM CST reply actions  

MacAlarney didn't get a chance

Because he likes the chronic. Period. End of story.

Oh, and he’s not that good.

by BracketCat on Dec 21, 2009 8:18 PM CST up reply actions  

Nooo...

Someone is blaming their deficiencies on the color of their skin? I was hoping for other game highlights from halftime.

by Sean T on Dec 21, 2009 8:19 PM CST up reply actions  

The only other important games

Kentucky slaughtered Drexel.

Oklahoma lost to UTEP (HAHAHAHAHA).

Oklahoma State/La Salle just under way.

A blonde...

So during the cut away from the 1st half, they showed a blonde cat fan for about .23 seconds. Was there any significance to this particular fan?

by GrumpyCat on Dec 21, 2009 8:20 PM CST reply actions  

Sutton with a steal and monster jam and the foul

And Frank started cracking up on the sideline. No shit. It was scary.

ANOTHER SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE!!!

Thanks

Just tuned in to ESPN gamewatch. Cats getting out rebounded and they have 5 blocks?

by Catbacker98 on Dec 21, 2009 8:35 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah

UAPB was all over the boards early on, but this is looking better now. Martin is not going to be happy the 42% FG from UAPB. But KSU has gotten a lot of TOs from them too.

by Sean T on Dec 21, 2009 8:37 PM CST up reply actions  

13 of 21 for FT?

This is going to bit the Cats against a good team.

by Sean T on Dec 21, 2009 8:44 PM CST reply actions  

Like it did against UNLV and Alabama?

Oh, wait.

It’s all mental, folks. When they need to make them, they tend to make them.

by BracketCat on Dec 21, 2009 8:45 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm thinking UT, A&M and the Jay-chickens

But then, 57% from the floor would take care of them too.

by Sean T on Dec 21, 2009 8:49 PM CST up reply actions  

Yep

I have been saying this all year. .800 should be the goal with 70%+ being acceptable.

by Catbacker98 on Dec 21, 2009 8:46 PM CST reply actions  

Full TO followed by a Merriweather turnover...

Wonder what the look on Frank’s face looks like.

by Catbacker98 on Dec 21, 2009 8:52 PM CST reply actions  

I don't like it when he's happy

I’m sure this will help the cats get their heads back in the game.

More fouls than FGs

Good lord this game is taking forever.

Sorry for the absence, gents

Nice game by the Cats tonight, overall. Nothing impressive, but the game was never in doubt and they answered when they had to.

On a side note, today has been the biggest hits day since Pan debuted the Adventures of the Big 12. Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone.

Nah, zero credit to the Huskers, really...

…mostly thanks to the new links deal with Sports Illustrated, and to Big 10 fans for posting links on their message board.

Rock M Nation and Double T Nation helped quite a bit, too.

I've been meaning to tell you

I really enjoy the (mostly) daily updates. Really keeps the season in focus and helps orient the mind to where we really stand. Much appreciated.

I had to bail at 8:30 to go play taxi

luckily, the Coffeyville radio affiliate stretches down here. Not real thrilled with allowing them to beat us in the second half, game in hand or not. That’s two games in a row we’ve gone into cruise control mode in the final 10 minutes. That’s fine against lesser teams, but it’ll come back to bite us in the ass if we get a nice lead against Big 12 teams and then relax. I hope Frank was chewing on some guys.

BTW, watch out for UAPB.

They may go into their conference schedule winless, then turn around and make the tournament field. All things considered, they’ve been remarkably competitive; all but three of their games have been against power six schools, and they’ve pretty consistently lost by between 14-19 points. This non-conference schedule’s been a heck of a learning experience for them, and I’m actually going to be following them closely for the rest of the season.
