The problem is they would go absolutely nuts with making their 3s if we played that way against them - then people would complain how bad our D was. Heck, we had a hand in their face on multiple occasions in our game against them in Hilton and they still were knocking the shots down. Tonight, they have struggled often when left wide open - they seem to never do that against us.
The key is putting wade in the middle and getting him the ball to drive or kick. Which is why we put THT in the middle
That helps too. He plays a lot like Niang but Kansas isn't stupid. They were bringing Lawson up all over him and doubling. If the high post is your only option still going to be difficult. Ole Miss was just bad at defense and played lazy defense.
There was a good example of an adjustment I think by Weber. He kept a second big guy down low who occupied D. Lawson and opened up Wade at the high post.
KSU putting on a clinic of low percentage shots. I like ISU’s chances to take one back from them in a couple weeks.
We need to play like we did @KU, and not the last two games. But if so, I could definitely see it happening.
I hope you’re right. Of all our remaining games though, I think that’s our most likely loss.
I do as well with how salty we’ve been on the road this year. And I think our guys are pissed about letting the first one get away
What we have going for us is that they stole the game from us in Ames right at the end. The team will be pretty motivated for K-State.
