lol, as I was starting this, Harlee jumped up and hit the enter key on the keyboard and it posted this early!
Anyway, lets talk some Basketball.
- Oklahoma State -
As most of you know, KSU lost to OSU the other day. It was a hard fought game that we lost on our own right, but the refs did not help the situation. Seriously 4 of our players fouled out and two more had 4 fouls. In my opinion the refs called the game too closely - giving out tick tack fouls and missing others entirely (See Moses' foul on Jamar before the T).
KSU hasn't won in Stillwater since 1993, which is not good, but it is a tough place to play. If Curtis was available to play, I think we would have won this game. Our biggest problem was at the end of the game when all of our bigs besides "Podejock"(sp) were fouled out. That's when OSU pulled away. If Curtis was in, we would have been able to keep our bigs in for longer and I believe we could have held the lead.
- Colorado -
Anyway, that's the end of that for now. Lets move on to tonight's game. It is our Home Big 12 opener against Colorado. I know what you are all thinking. Colorado? Gonna be a cake walk. Not so fast sports fans. Alec Burks is one of the best players in the Big 12 and thoroughly tore apart Missouri the other night. To give you a perspective, Mizzou is ranked #8 (though they haven't played anyone good just like KU.... just saying). This all being said, I think Mizzou is ranked too high, (same with KU) and I think we beat Colorado, but I think it will be a whole lot closer than most casual fans would think.
For some reason Co. decided to play basketball this year. I watched them play one game and although that doesn't mean too much I think they are a pretty good team. I will give the win to the Cats since it is a home game. Co has been scoring a lot of points,(6th in the nation) and a very good field goal pct,(7th in the nation)while the Cats are 6th in rebounds and not bad in assists. The point average so far is +10 for Co but you need to factor in who they played. Right now I think Mizz and KU are both over ranked. Ku hasn't been playing good ball the last few games, just good enough to win and will stay till they each loose. Ku's schedule could have been pretty hard. It's just how the teams do in recruiting that comes after the schedule is set. Some of these teams have been very good in the past, but just haven't come together this year. The Cats have played a hard non conferrence schedule but have lost some games they shouldn't have mainly because of missing players. I think it will be a close game, but if the Cats come to play, it may not be.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Harlee just wanted to put in her opinion on "Cats", (since dogs don't like them much), but was put on timeout.....
