Does the team respond or fold here? Nobody on the current roster has ever won at Kansas State and I'm afraid that their first one is going to come saturday. Thoughts?

They will have a chance. It is literally a flip of the coin.

Why are your afraid their first one will come Saturday? Are you a KSU fan?

If the team couldnt respond from a home loss to a worse team in a place they have won, I dont see them responding against a better team in a place they have never won.

When this team decides to wake up, they will be OK, but who knows when that happens. We are playing very good offensive basketball right now, but I have no clue whats wrong on defense. Good thing Im not getting paid to figure it out.

Honestly it depends on how well ISU defends the 3.

They won just about every category of the game tonight, except the 3 ball, they got outscored by 21 from 3 point line.

They need to defend it early on so teams don't get a flow.

I remember when we all thought KSU might not even field a team this year. Now we might not even beat them.

Gonna be tough -- Weber looks like a miracle worker right now with that squad. Probably another 50/50 game like the game tonight.

KSU is a much more mentally and physically tougher team couple that with it being at Bramlage this team will lose.

After loss I expect the same rhetoric from players about them learning lessons and getting better.

Matt is the only one who is playing defense on the perimeter so don't hold your breath. Nader could but he leaves his assignment too much to help out others.

It doesn't help that everyone except Thomas is slow on their feet on that side of the ball. We are getting beat way too easily.

Chances are not good. I predict KSU will hit a **** load of three pointers, and then they will start hitting a **** load of crazy shots down the stretch. I also predict Jameel will miss a bunch of layups and Nader will take a bunch of stupid shots. Oh, I also predict Morris will have 2-4 turnovers while trying to pass the ball the Mckay in traffic. Should be a barn burner.

You forgot niang missing the front end of a one and one in the final minutes, and Morris missing the and one.

Jameel McKay is the biggest liability this team has at this point....which is just sad.

Yep, we might beat TCU but we are going to lose to KU, Baylor, WVU, TTU & KSU on the road.
