Let’s do some rapid fire today. I have a lot to say after the debacle we witnessed last night in Lawrence. Here we GO! -K-State lost to Kansas 90-68 on Tuesday night, pretty much putting to bed any hopes of an NCAA tournament bid. K-State will likely have to win the Big 12 tournament to get in, and that isn’t likely to happen. -I listened to Jerome Tang’s post-game press conference. He was mad. It was the first time I’d…
K-State won another overtime game on Monday night against West Virginia, extending Jerome Tang’s undefeated overtime record to 12-0. It is hard to find the words to describe this streak. Bizarre and anomalous are two words that come to mind. K-State pushing the latest game to overtime and winning it masked an infamous second-half collapse, as K-State blew a 25-point lead with 13 minutes and 30 seconds left. Instead of talking about the blown lead or even the fantastic performance…
It has been a disappointing basketball season for the K-State men’s team. They fell to 15-11 overall and 5-8 in the Big 12 conference after a 62-56 loss to the Texas Longhorns on Monday night. The Wildcats have lost seven of their last eight games after starting the conference season with a 4-1 record. This week I am focusing on the man in charge, Jerome Tang. Coach Tang has done a great job marketing himself and the program since his…
Big win for K-State over Kansas on Big Monday. Time for some Rapid Fire. Let’s GO! -K-State’s 75-70 overtime win over Kansas did not surprise me. KU was coming off a big, emotional win over Houston on Saturday, and they haven’t necessarily played well on the road this season. At the very least, they were bound to exhale after that game. That happened, as they were flat for much of the first half. K-State guard Tylor Perry had been hitting…
It has been an awful week for Jerome Tang and K-State basketball, with three bad double-digit losses in a row, each giving K-State a poor look for different reasons. Last Wednesday, Jerome Tang and Iowa State head coach TJ Otzelberger got into what looked like a heated exchange after Iowa State’s 11-point win when Tang accused Iowa State fans of recording their huddles and sending the information to the Iowa State coaches. Otzelberger later called the claim “ludicrous,” and said…
