OPEN GAME THREAD: Fort Hays State

It's time for our annual MIAA sacrifice, served up on a warm Bramlage platter.

I won't be able to watch this game live due to work constraints, so I'm relying on you guys to keep me apprised of the details.

Don't worry, though. I've got the DVR set for this one, as I am anticipating a few dunks and other such highlight-worthy plays before the night is old.

OK, guys

I’m stuck in a meeting that’s been invaded by a bunch of Cub Scouts.

So I’m relying on you to keep me apprised of what’s going on in the game. Can’t watch it until tomorrow.

Please tell me someone here is watching the game
4-0

FHSU is ahead…TO Martin

thx

Got a gametracker up but it gives few details.

Where's Samuels??

I saw that he didn’t play the other day, never heard anything about it

Suspended for kicking the Dayton dude in the head
wow didn't know

how long is he out?

nevermind

he’s in now

Should just be the one game
I see Curtis already has missed two free throws

Getting real sick of that shit.

And now a foul on CK

Great.

Down 7-1

Shit, guys. Wake the fuck up.

7-7 now

we’re picking up the Defense now

Yahoo lags a bit ;-)
I see three fouls and a whole lotta missed shots

Not really the improved effort I was hoping to see after the poor showing on Saturday.

I’m sure Frank agrees.

What I wouldn't give to see

Clemente follow his shot….just once.

*3pt shot that is.
OK, I'm watching it now

This is awful.

this has to be

The worst half of ball I have ever seen.

0 for 3 pointers in the first half and 7 turnovers...only 60% FT...they have 2 steals and 2 blocks we have 0.

Well Frank can really make a point now. How much furniture is flying around the locker room at the half? Flat out bad that first half.

I would have just told CK to stay in the locker room, or go back to his apartment
A couple thoughts...

…and I agree with most of you that what I just saw ranks among the most awful basketball I’ve seen outside of the 7th grade girls C-team games that I was forced to sit through periodically as a child.

Where’s Jake? I didn’t see the first 12 minutes, so I’m guessing that I missed whatever happened that caused him to have a seat over there with the coaches for the last eight minutes. Ditto Curtis Kelly, although given his defensive effort recently, we shouldn’t be surprised to see him riding the pine soft cushy chairs.

Martavious Irving’s defense is spectacular. If he wouldn’t have lost his balance on that halfcourt trap, he would have been flawless. He’s not ready to play point guard on offense, however.

JamSam is having a good first half, but he appears to be the only one. That shot that he had blocked was a head-scratcher, though.

WTF was Ojeleye doing on that shot from the wing?

Apparently Jake was in foul trouble
Evening guys, I'll ignore the game play for a minute.

Why does K-State have a different shade of top from their shorts?

It's our version of throwbacks...

…if you look at the old Sports Illustrated cover where Ro Blackman is hitting the shot to beat Oregon State, he’s wearing a lavendar top and purple shorts. Jack Hartman (I think) introduced the two-tone look, and they brought it back last year once or twice. Apparently, they’re going to keep wearing them on rare occasions.

Ah, ok. I hoped it was intentional.

First time I’ve seen you guys play this year and was hoping Frank was trying to start a new trend.

Right now Frank is trying to stave off horrible basketball against an opponent we should be beating handily.

A trend we hope to stop tonight.

Pullen is HOT!!!

8 straight points by jake WOW.

Good Game Pullen. Thanks for helping us win.
That last call was so bogus

And we haven’t won yet, I caution.

yeah it was. we havent won, but he was the major player tonight, along with JamSam.
I would throw Ojeleye in there, too
Well, we survived

After the game, Frank threw Stan a massive curveball:

“I’m either going to get it (effort) out of them or I’m going to get them off the team.”

Stan sort of paused and had to recollect his line of questioning.

Frank was as mad as I have ever seen him. Probably madder.

I would not want to be CK or Wally Judge tomorrow.

Well said...

Just no poking.

wow

that curveball was funny too.

yeah they are going to run their legs off.

i would throw ojeleye in there too, he had a good game as well.
another player is Irving, he was a defensive beast

Wow

Frank in postgame with Wyatt and Matt… Wow.

“Over my dead body will we have guys out there who aren’t going to build on what we have established as K-State basketball here the past three years.”

“I’m tired of guys telling me what they’re going to do; I want to see it.”

“Three hours might be too much practice for some guys tomorrow. After a few minutes, they may pack their bags and fly home.”

“We’re going to get spanked by Washington State if we don’t start guarding people.”

Manhood check for CK and WJ

We’re going to find out what they are made of.

At least Judge...

…got back in the game in the second half. Kelly was AWOL from the minute I started watching the game.

He had 5 minutes

Frank said that was indicative of his frustrations.

Wally’s in the doghouse.

Curtis is in the werewolfhouse.

Matt said it best

It’s time for this team to grow up.

Or not. And they can sit at home on Selection Sunday and wonder why they got left out again.
