KANSAS rolls K ST Saturday

I am actually inclined to believe that KU wins this game as well....for some very bizarre reason they alwasy play well at Bramlage. Now, from a basketball perspective I will say this.........KU has been very, very weak guarding the three point line this season. They have been better the last couple of games...is that a trend, I don't know. Pullen and Clemente should get some open looks. Will they hit them? That's a good question. Clemente strikes me as out of control at times....he's a nice player but his shot selection can be very suspect and he can turn it over....if he has one of those games, there is no way KSU wins. KSU can't get the production they got from Pullen and Clemente vs Texas and win Saturday night. KSU won't get a lot of offensive production inside. Aldrich has really started playing good defense and will make easy baskets tough to come by. The rebounding battle will be interesting, it could go either way but I wouldn't anticipate either team having a big advantage in this department.

As for Kansas there is no reason to believe Henry gets back on track in what is probably the most hostile atmosphere he will face this season. Collins usually plays well in games like this. A lot for Kansas hinges on the production of Aldrich and Marcus Morris. Both have looked superb the last three or four games. If Aldrich and Morris continue to play this well it will open up the offense and players like Reed and Morningstar will get open looks from beyond the arc. Reed has shot very well this year and Morningstar is a capable shooter as well.......any production out of Taylor is good. If he doesn't make mistakes he will provide good minutes, but mistakes are something he can provide.

Should be a very exciting atmosphere. Kansas State is a very good team but I think Kansas will win this one and I wouldn't be surprised to see a 10 point margin of victory......that said, I won't be playing this game, just enjoying it on the television.

 Couldn't have put it any better myself.

mmac66 - i know you're listed as South Africa, but you must be a KU fan. Over the past few years you seem to have a really good feel for the team and your analyses are usually pretty spot on.

I expect a huge game from Collins tomorrow.He absolutely thrives in this sort of game (I'm sure you remember his shootout w/ Willie Warrne in Norman last year, f'n sick!).
Gay St. jumped out big last year at home (around 14 I think), and Collins rallied the troops, pulling them within 1pt at half. They were able to feed off the crowd early, but KU settled in and the crowd never really affected them again. Then KU was the more disciplined and better defensive team in the 2nd half.  Forgot to say: "Think it plays out similar to that this year"
I think you're absolutely right on KSt not being a great discipline team. They take way too many quick, bad shots. And they're going to have to make jump shots well to win tomorrow, because your definately right on Aldrich being back. He was sick early in the season and couldn't quite get healthy. Then he had his grandma die who he was really close to. Now though he seems to be focused and is completely controlling the paint, erasing shots left and right. And HOLY MARCUS MORRIS! Where did this come from?
Getting Morningstar back from 1st semester suspension was huge, even though it's not the type of thing that get's a lot of attention. He's our best perimeter defender and a solid shooter. Oh, and the guy he replaced in Tyshawn Taylor fucking blows. I hope he does transfer like he was twittering about. Might make Brandon Knight's college decision easier if Taylor isn't there to take minutes from him.

All this being said    ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK! GO KU!

Gee, winwiththehook, your insight really has me questioning whether my team is going to win or not.

What is your logic to KU playing their best game of the year.  A hunch?  You are obviously not familiar with this matchup at all.  Now, I am not saying that KU is going to win or not, I am saying that your theory on KU rolling with absolutely no supporting information makes you look like a dingle berry.

Bramlage (The Octagon of Doom") is going to be rocking tommorow evening.  Rocking!  I am anxious for the nation to see how crazy our fans are and how much of an impact it will throw into the game.  Your nuts to say that GayU is going to roll.  Idiot!

Go Cats!

KansasStateCat you are an embarrasment to the University. You have had NO WRITE UP to speak of and are just blithering.

I'll chime back in with some sanity however I had to call you out right quick.

Wow, surprising to hear from a fellow K Stater if you truly are.  I had no intentions and have no intentions of doing a write up.  Neither did the person that started this thread, poison.  Why don't you delete that name you have and put CarolinaTarheel1.  You have no business with anything referencing KState in your profile name.  You have been on here since July 2008 and have 375 posts?  Why do you even come on here?  Piss off little fly.

Oh sry wonwiththehook, I wasn't paying attention to you.  Go suck your buddy, poison66 off.  I am heading to the Little Apple kids...Have fun stroking each other in this so called handicapping sight with wonthehooks awesome prediction and unbelievable insight on KU's history and how their history is going to win this game....Bill Self is awesome and fully expect him to have his team prepared...It is going to be a great game and we expect Kansas State to pull off the win...I'm out...

Poison66, my advice to you is keep it a medium bet and don't load up on this game.  Too close of a game to call.

I think you're dreaming if you think that your signature win against Texas means you're in the same class as Kansas. Texas does not play D anything like a contender for the NCAA.....KU does. Kansas has their eyes on claiming that #1 ranking and probably the #1 seed in the country, and they have a pretty good track record against your team too, I don't think Collins or Aldrich will be phased by your crowd in the least, I actually expect them to play at a higher level, because that's what great collegiate players do. You have no great players on your team.

I am not a Kansas fan, actually I'm an Illini fan, so I really can't stand Bill Self. The fact is that Self can coach, will have his team ready, and your little hothead is not in the same league with Self.

Bottom line, you're in the group of teams that making the sweet 16 will be called a great year. Kansas is a team that expects the Final 4 ....at least ! Big class differnce !

Feel bad for all the good hearted Kansas State fans for having such a loser on their side.
