11,000 fans loudly cheering against us. The first time kids like Yurimania, Hargrove, Perkins, Weaver, Bell, and Jacobs have ever experienced anything like that. They keep their cool and go on to a W. And u say no big deal? It was a big deal to them and all Bills fans. 

Okay, I will say it. Maybe, Travis Ford outcoached Bruce Weber?   Maybe Ford’s game plan was better.?  Maybe French struggled abit more due to injury, not practicing all week and not having Jimerson in the lineup. Maybe we won by “only” 3 bc we were missing our 3rd leading scorer (GJ) as well as our Big Three guy/defensive specialist (Thatch) and French was nicked up and out of  sync. 
The great Final Four Coach and Power 5 coach Bruce Weber?  The great upstart young Coach Lowrey who kept the SIUC machine going previously run by Weber?
Weber and Lowrey started their K State rebuild prior to Ford.  They benefit with the draw of the Big 12 v A10. They had four year starter in Sneed.  This was their year. Almost home game in KC.  Instead, their starters held at or below season averages as our our freshmen and new faces stepped up. Yep, Coach Ford is due credit. And yes, a win is a win. 

Get a healthy Fred, and I only see Dayton as being the one team on the next tier above us. We can hang with VCU, RI, Richmond, Davidson, Duquesne, and Mason. 

Last night KState played French and JGood like most teams will; clog the inside with 3 big bodies. This is why the loss of Jimerson hurts. However, Perkins, Weaver, Jacobs, and even Hargrove can make life a little easier for our 2 leaders by hitting those outside jumpers. French should also start to think about kicking the ball out on his drives to the hoop. This will open him up more as well if a man leaves him to defend the shooter. 

I wish French would look to throw that outlet pass when he finds himself trapped down low. He'll do it at times but should look for it more.

Yuri really took over the last couple of minutes. Gave us another glimpse of what the future holds with him . Played it like a Sr pg not a frosh. He even hit Jacobs for a wide open 3 he missed on our last possession by driving and kicking. He had driven and scored or shot enough down the stretch they had to help defensively leaving our shooter open

I wanted this one for a lot of reasons, and the recruiting battle is maybe the biggest one.
Great win.

How's Rachel?

Get well, Fred. We've suddenly become the walking wounded. 

It's on ESPN+. Not to beat a dead horse, but I will anyways, I'd like to see this be a game where Hargrove gets extended minutes and not just mop up time. Let the fans see what the mystery's all about by putting him out there for some minutes with JGood and other starters. Also,  hoping Hankton can go as well. If French is nicked up let him rest and give some minutes to Diarra as well. Not looking so much for a blowout win like 110-50. Would rather see some lineups where at times we're playing our 5 FR.

Exactly. Hoops is secondary to his long term health. 

I wish you'd let me know u we're going. I would have joined you. Cheer loud and proud, Heel! 

I'm laying this one right at Travis' feet.... if we lose. 

Getting back to the game, any team that shoots 60% from the three usually is victorious

Speaking of post season play, I wouldn't even mind this team taking a CBI bid. More experience. Also, are we heading overseas next summer. I think we qualify since it's every 4 or 5 years you're allowed to do it. In fact, maybe that's why our AC was in Spain. Setting up some games. I'm surprised with a campus in Madrid we've never landed a Spaniard. 

Watching the replay, the 3s were great, ok amazing, but we are so blessed to have JGood and Has as Billikens. Those 2 are the heart, soul, lungs, and guts of this team. They drive the train, bus, and fly the plane. Thank you Has and JGood you are so much fun to watch play this game the way it's supposed to be played.
