K-State Basketball’s Anomalous Overtime Streak

K-State Basketball’s Anomalous Overtime Streak

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…

Is K-State “Getting Better” As Jerome Tang Said?

Is K-State “Getting Better” As Jerome Tang Said?

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…

K-State Basketball Must Win The Next Two Games If They Hope To Make The NCAA Tournament

With seven games left in the Big 12 basketball regular season, K-State is firmly off the bubble. By that, I mean they are not likely to be in contention to be selected as part of the NCAA tournament after losing to BYU on Saturday night. The Wildcats are 5-6 and tied for ninth in the Big 12 standings, and their remaining schedule is not easy: vs. TCU on February 17th at Texas on February 19th vs. BYU on February 24th…

Rapid Fire – Men’s And Women’s Basketball, Football, And A K-Stater In The Super Bowl

Rapid Fire – Men’s And Women’s Basketball, Football, And A K-Stater In The Super Bowl

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…

Can Jerome Tang Right The Ship?

Can Jerome Tang Right The Ship?

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…
