Kansas State seems like Sooner Lite with all of their guards, including ex-Sooner Gregory who is leading the Big 12 in scoring. They aren't as bad as the Sooners on defense nor as good offensively. I've only seen them versus Iowa and they won that mostly on a sub hitting 6 threes. They shot over 30 of them in that game. I wasn't all that impressed with their much ballyhooed freshman guards last year, solid but not great.

KSU is NET #64, not a March team at this point. We can't really afford losses to the five lower tier Big 12 teams, especially at home, if we want to contend all the way to the finish.

Will be interesting to see how the team comes out to play tonight.

I went to Austin last night to watch the TX - KU game. Kansa had me fooled after they beat Arizona on the road. Im not sure how they accomplished that. After watching them against BU & TX they seem like a very slow methodical team.

 

[NWICY]

Well I'll be there to see how ISU WBB 2022-3 2.0 does this evening.

 

[barometriclow]

Me too! I will be the fan cheering for Morgan to shoot the 3!

 

[WartburgClone]

Time to find out what this team is really made of.

 

[Frog]

You got this Bill, staff, and team!! Cheering you on!!!

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

I'll be there, too, so not listening on the radio. Can someone please tell Noah Wolf to go to this page then scroll to the Stephanie section, click on the "ear" icon to the right of her name and listen carefully.

I'd missed this looking before but Molly just pointed out that this is just KSU's 2nd road game of the year.

Diew starting against the weak post KSU squad.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Thought we were going to blaze to a 25 point quarter than things chilled considerably.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

I was wondering if Bill wanted us to make 15 3-pointers before we could go for a layup.

 

[iowa_wildcat]

This is just plain bad basketball and it makes no difference which team you are cheering for.

 

[CY9008]

Can’t put my finger on it, but I just have never been a fan of Mittie.

The problem is they either miss or get blocked and if fouled, no foul is called

We also should get a basket every time Ny is alone under the hoop.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Thank goodness Lexi decided to start shooting 3's when open. Her 3's are keeping us in this.

 

[acoustimac]

I remember a concept called the weave in basketball. When they spread their zone we need constant movement with cuts through the middle. A screen or three would help too

 

[imaclone2]

Post the score once in awhile. Thank you

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

46-40 at 4:00 in the third. We’re up.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

51-45 end of third. Possession arrow is theirs to start the 4th.
