IMO we start Colvin. Insure he stays and DG appears at his ceiling and not as intense as CC. We need someone to set a more intense tone. CB I am a huge fan, tough performance after rolling that ankle.

Happy with effort, but needed SC to win it from 3. Just had a bad night.

Found our 3-point shooting about 38 minutes too late. Otherwise, not too bad of a game. Good effort.

Honestly...the way K-State plays I am surprised we hung in there. This was easily the most physical we've been all year and it was refreshing to see.

Clemente went off in the 2nd. He made some tough shots.

Can't fault the effort today because it was there. I'm proud of the team the way they came to play today.

Why are Mcdermott's halftime adjustments so horrid? I cannot understand this at all!! Most of our games are lost in the first 5 minutes of the second half

This coach needs to find a way to get this team ready to start the second half of a basketball game. Today's game was a perfect example of how a team reflects a coach. It might as well have been a pickup game of McD versus that grease ball.

I can't stand greaseball but he has proven he can successful recruit and coach in the Big 12.

Well that's 19 straight losses to ranked opponents, and a 16-40 record in the Big 12 since Mac took over. Things are definitely looking better. :no:

Great effort by Brackins and Hamilton. Our guards aren't in the same class as KSU's and that makes it nearly impossible to win. How many layups does Garrett miss every game? Christopherson's shooting percentage is dropping quickly.

We showed a lot more effort out there. Our free throws were a lot better. Brackins played a pretty good-bordering great-game.

On the negative side, we lost again to a ranked team, making it 0-19. We lose again at home, and we are still on a 8 game losing streak against K State...that makes me sick.

I still don't understand what goes down at halftime. We are BAD, I mean down right TERRIBLE, after halftime. I would say almost every game (minus Duke and Cal at least) we would have been in if not for our typical start-of-the-second-half-slump.

I also don't get our use of TO's. We let them go on a 8-2 run, then we drop the ball which they pick up and slam dunk for 2. Why not call a TO there? Instead, we have another steal turned into 2 points. Why save the TO's for the end when at that point, we won't be in the game enough to care to use them! Just odd....

Good gameplan, great effort by everyone (especially Brackins), came up short. Hats off to KSU, they are a very good team.

I'm pretty sure Brackins improved his stock today. He played great and probably would have gone for at least 35+ today if he wouldn't have sprained his ankle. Seems like it took him some time after that to get in his rhythm again. By far his best game of the year.
