    Preview: Iowa State @ Oklahoma State

    I'm interested to see what we do for defense on Paige and Nash. We haven't seemed to have much success when we switch to zone, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us try something like a 1-3-1 or even a box and 1 for a couple plays just to keep OSU from getting too comfortable offensively. Paige...

    This is the worst thing I've ever seen, Missouri

    That is quite halarious. I've never said this before in my life, but well done KU.

    Any guitar players w/recording software?

    I used to have the playback volume issue too when I was first figuring stuff out with recording programs. The key is to have your playback for the input sound (what you're playing now) louder than what you've already recorded, because if it's at the same volume as the tracks you already laid...

    Any guitar players w/recording software?

    Recording interface is just a fancy term for how your guitar is plugged into your computer. I use a Line 6 Pod HD500 connected to the USB port so I don't have to mic a live amp.

    Any guitar players w/recording software?

    I've done a pretty good amount of recording, and have used several different programs. Never Cakewalk though. If you can't hear anything but can see the sound bars moving, your most likely problem is that you don't have your playback device configured properly. With most recording programs...

    Guard Play Revisited

    Garrett seems much better at dribble penetration, shot selection, and defense. Colvin gives us a guard that can actually get to the hoop, although he often doesn't finish. Scotty is much like BP except a little bigger and came down with a very untimely case of mono, which seems to have...

    Wesley Johnson is amazing

    There aren't many basketball players that disgust me out there but Wesley J is one of them. I don't know what all happenned with his situation, and I know he's a fantastic ball player, but that's what's so frustrating. I can't help but cheer against him even when they are playing UNC.

    New basketball faces at ISU

    If I grade solely on performance so far: Colvin: B (solid on offense and defense, but needs better decisions, which will come with time. He does seem to have a good general basketball "sense" already though) Gilstrap: B- (He's a heck of an athlete, but has a lot of "mike taylor" in him, meaning...

    Starting lineup?

    I think Lucca gets the starting position as long as he can play good D. We've yet to see if he can really defend since overcoming his injury, but I think this is the only reason someone else would take the spot from him. He has such a good shot and better decision making than Christopherson, so...

    OSU @ ISU - Official Game Thread

    On a positive note, we are playing probably the second best team in the Big XII. I think our expectations were a bit high coming into this one.

    OSU @ ISU - Official Game Thread

    If we can't get any push on the line, they are just going to keep bearing down on us with LBs on the outside and we have no chance.

    OSU @ ISU - Official Game Thread

    For as bad as we've played, I'll take 2 possession game at half. Very well could be 4 or 5 possession game.

    Exhibition #2 Recap

    I'm also starting to get excited about how the team is looking this year, but trying to not get too overeager just yet. I think it was a good write-up, but based on the first two games I think I'd put Lucca just above Christopherson. Christopherson is definitely quicker, and therefore better...

    ISU Defeats Black Hills State, Greg McDermott Post Game Q&A

    I originally expected that we would have a large rotation, but 9 or 10 is a lot of people to be getting in there, especially if Brackins gets 30-35 minutes per game. I wonder how much the line-ups will be dependant upon the size/speed of our opponents or if it will be a fairly consistent line-up...

    ****OFFICIAL MBB POST GAME****

    We definitely ran sets, especially at the beginning of the game, but they also definitely ran the court when given the opportunity. I don't see this team being one that pushes the ball up the court every play and tries to push the tempo the entire game, but one that will run the court when they...
