I know there are enough of us to participate in this thread, even when our seasons inevitably go to shit.
KSU vs Western Illinois today, tip-off at 3:00 pm.
One thing I noticed near the end of the game on Friday night - we had 5 true freshman on the court, and still played sound basketball. None of them were scrub walk-ons either. While I don't think we will make a serious run at anything this year, the foundation is being laid for a solid program in the future. [Reply]

He's an interesting player and really fun to watch... a lot of Mahomes in him, for sure. It was tough to see some of those random no-look/nonchalant 50/50 balls that went the other way, but of course he makes up for it most of the time and can make those "why the fuck are you shooting it from th-- oh okay sweeeet!" type of shots and make a play from anywhere on the court.

I’m going to wish quis was around for another year. [Reply]
There is a small, but notable piece of me sad you guys dropped this tonight - which is the most bummed I’ve ever been about a KSU loss in anything.
If asked later I’ll never admit it.
Tang built something special this year and the sky is the limit with him. Give him a brinks truck (or multiple) of his choosing and it won’t be the last time he’s here with KSU. [Reply]
Man, that was a heart breaker. Nowell had a helluva game, but it just wasn't enough. KJ fouling out really hurt. The refs did him no favors today. Officiating was pretty lousy, I thought. Lots of bad calls and lots of missed calls.
It was a bit frustrating though, that they didn't go for 3 at the end. They kept taking the easy bucket and fouling, hoping they'd miss. But all it did was put them right back to a 3pt game again with less time remaining. And they did it multiple times. Then didn't even get the shot off on the last possession.
Felt like they had a ton of momentum halfway through the 2nd half. Oh well, they had a great season. [Reply]

Can you be a dick just once in your life? If anyone deserves it it's a kstate fan... [Reply]

It was very dumb to keep going for the 2.
FIA was trying their best to keep them in it by missing FTs.
Good season, disappointed but will get over it. [Reply]
