Kansas State beat them by 33 points (77-44) and out rebounded them by 14. So please stop with the "I don't know why everyone is concerned because we won by 9."

You're not even expecting them to play a full conference season!?!?!?
I hope CSP lets the team know they need better shooting.
Had to go look it up but this team just lost to Kansas State 77-44. This team looks to be a little offensively challenged. The new transfers / big guys didn't exactly light things on fire.
I got to the see the 2nd half. A few observations, from what you can take away from an exhibition:
* Long was playing vs. a DII team so a grain of salt here, but he looked good slashing and hit a nice spot-up 3 from the corner. I noticed some defensive mistakes and we will not want him on a Big12 4. He didn't hurt his chances at more playing time tonight.
* Front-court speed with DJ, NWB and Wiggington will be decent.
* It seemed that the most effective offense in the 2nd half was NWB at the point of a spread formation, with shooters/slashers on each wing. Hard to say how that will translate vs. tougher comp.
* Prohm had Beverly and Young out for a long time in the second half, presumably seeing what a small-ball lineup would look like with Talley at the 5 (in this case, there was DJ, Wiggington, NWB and Long).
* Talley looked fluid and with good springs. I guess he didn't shoot very well but I can see him making a solid contribution this year.
* This "game" may have looked very different with Lewis' shooting and Lard's rim protection.

That was one point I forgot to make- a lot of awkward line ups due to being short handed.
Very lazy and lackluster performance...Here’s to praying that Brase, lard and Lewis bring a lot more to the table..
Coach can you comment on Cameron lard killing 4 prostitutes in Waco texas?
It is more about settling for 3's when you are a career 30% 3 point shooter versus passing that shot up to get something going to the basket.
Which is probably something they'll figure out or look into since it's November 5.
i didn't check, how many players did K state have sitting again?
Don’t forget that KSU hasn’t had time to be fully Webered yet.
We also were without 3 players who will all play this year.

I totally lost track, and paid attention like it was an exhibition game.
I knew that Lard and Lewis weren't playing. Who was #3?
I'm not mad out it at all. I like CSP and I believe 18-19 can be a special year but the thought that this team has lots of talent and can finish in the top 5 of the Big 12. I don't see it.
I assume Brase.
Not sure why people are this weirded out by an exhibition game in a rebuilding year.
ISU didn't even have a starting 5 solidified until February last year.
Brase. Was supposed to play 10 min or so, but they decided not to.
