Especially when it's 8 on 5 buddy?
Remember when we debated preseason all-conference?

- Start date
Especially when it's 8 on 5 buddy?
Wait, I thought you’ve posted before that you are on CF because it has better Hawk talk than the other forums out there?
But here you are reading a B12 thread and commenting.
You're not crazy to put Lard on 2nd team. If you look at stats in just Big 12 play he has 1st team level stats...but since ISU is not a great team this year he should probably be 2nd or 3rd team. If he doesn't make 2nd or 3rd team he'll be the best statistical Big 12 player I've seen not do so.
10th in scoring (above Bamba and could very well finish as high as 7th if he keeps playing the way he is)
2nd in rebounding (he was 3 per game behind Bamba just a few weeks ago and now only 1.5)
2nd in FG% (above Bamba)
3rd in blocks
1st in offensive rebounds
4th in defensive rebounds
Only 26th in minutes played...imagine what just more minutes does for him next year.
Best shooting performance in a Big 12 game. 10-11
Most rebounds in a Big 12 game. 17
5th in double double games.
That is a pretty accurate description of how it feels to lose via deadball 3 pointer.
Hope you can experience it sometime.
His season stats still suggest 2nd or 3rd team.
His Big 12 stats suggest first team if ISU were more in the mix.
The fixed game in Ames was just a few years ago though. You know, the game where KSU clinched the Big 12 regular season outright because KU lost to Iowa State.
Wouldn't surprise me at all to see him make 2nd team. I have been thoroughly impressed with Lard and look forward to seeing his development for next year. Very impressive so far.
Some of our own fans are still surprised by it though. He missed the first two games for some sort of discipline, then through most of non-conf he couldn't stay on the floor for foul trouble.
It's been more than 15 years...
Wrong is wrong. Time doesn't change that dynamic, at all.
Makes sense. K-State doesn't have any young talent like Young, Bamba, Cameron, or Lindell, otherwise I'm sure you would have somebody penciled in.

Four guards is hardly an all-conference '"team" although all four are worthy. Still, I'll be surprised if Wade isn't first team. He's the most accomplished, best "big" in the league.
This isnt the MLB all star game, they make no consessions to position. Last years 1st Team All Big 12 had 3 point guards so I dont see why they would blink at 4 guards.
They dont have to play as a team; its just the 5 best players on 1st team, period.
I'd take Evans, Graham, Lard, Konate, Wade and whip your four-guard team by 30. Just sayin' ...
The report is that it's a toe injury and his status is day2day. So, I'd guess he'll be ready for Ku.
