It is going to be a brutal game tomorrow. Prohm needs to work the refs, otherwise WVU is going to win for sure.

Yeah, they'd have been much better off just playing. They wasted 5 seconds to get to the same spot at the top of the key, then the other 4 players acted like morons not helping him after he stupidly picked up his dribble.
Yep that is what killed the play. Can't pick it up in that spot of the court.

I'm so mad I feel like I just watched ISU screw up the end of a game.

Just a stupid last possession. You needed a bucket Bruce, not a desperate 3.

They actually illustrated why you rely on players not called plays.

I counted 4 players more open at some point while he was dribbling around.

WVU switching to zone changed the game. KSU couldn't bust it and relied on outside shots and couldn't hit them. WVU won't be playing zone against us.

JFC. That was an absolutely horrible excuse for a basketball game, topped off by whatever thought process Stokes had on the laat possession.

Teams that shoot 27% from the floor never, ever deserve to win a game. Unbelievable.

WVU deserves to be called for 100 fouls to our 0 tomorrow. Just disgusting what they get away with.

As I told revkah that KSU just needed any score to win, my heart sank knowing that it required Bruce Weber to set something up that even got off a shot.
I agree. Yet, after seeing the replay of the final seconds, #3 totally missed Iwundu in the corner. He would have had a much better look. If BW drew up a play that required #3 to dribble around the top of the key - well he should be labeled the worst coach in the USA.

On one hand I have a feeling we are "due" against them and are players I think will be pretty motivated to face them after already losing twice to them this season.

On the other hand I don't think we match-up that great against their style and I'm afraid after they had such a hard time scoring tonight they will shoot out of their mind tomorrow.

So in other words I have no damn clue what will happen tomorrow night. ;)

Key for ISU is patience. WVU plays a rope-a-dope where it looks like you've broken the press but you're also out of control without a plan.

Also key is the refs doing their job.
