Another win. That was the best thing to come out of Tuesday. And Jamar Samuels rediscovering his game.
A lot – no, make that A LOT – confidence from the players about winning out the rest of the way. How do you all feel about that?
There’s no reason to suggest Kansas State can’t rip off five in a row, but realistically, with next week’s road trip to Missouri, can it happen?
By the way, Pops said Dominique Sutton is the key to the team. If he plays well offensively, he puts so much pressure on the opposition. When he’s off, where does Frank Martin turn? To Chris Merriewether, who isn’t an offensive threat.
I don’t have much else aside from that. We all know the score. In other news, I’m keeping an eye on the Bryce Brown saga, and hopefully soon, I’ll be prepared to unveil my theory on the whole thing. Need to check on a couple of things in the meanwhile, but stay tuned.

Your dad is a smart man.
good stuff. did you get the feeling the ku loss was pretty devastating to the team/coaches jmart?
Where does Frank turn? Ummm…how about the guy hitting 49% of his 3’s in conference play?…Fred Brown. Merriewether doesn’t bring any tangible defensive difference to the court than Fred but Fred brings a far better offensive game. I’d say the same thing for Awaji in comparsion to Merriewether (no offens, Chris).
I’d have to say that Fred’s defensive iq is far less than that of Merriweathers catzacker. There was a reason LaceDarius Dunn was wide open so many times and CU hit a three to tie it at the end of regulation. But, Chris is too much of an offensive liability and too ineffective on the offensive end to be playing over Fred in those instances…
I think your making too much of the trip to Columbia J-Mart. I really like the timing of us playing the Tigers. They get this whole week off to gloat, go on the road to play a bad CU team that’s hard to get up for intensity wise, then get start looking ahead to KU and OU after us. I have a feeling that they’re going to be tight and possibly overlooking us next Wednesday, but who knows…
Fatty, I don’t think the loss was that demoralizing. I’m certain the Wildcats think they’re as good as the Jayhawks, which is fine. I know they believe they’re better than Missouri, and they might be. Frank usually turns to Chris when Dominique struggles, especially defensively. It’s just how it is. And kwilla, how are the Tigers going to be overlooking a team that spanked them by 16 or so the first time around? Doesn’t seem likely to me. Plus, they’ll be at home. And yes, Pop is a wise man indeed.
I think your theory is going to be too big and scandalous to post in this blog. I feel you should just share everything you know right now in an ultra secret pm circle.
Mizzou should in no way overlook the Cats for many reasons, but you’re correct J-Mart in saying that they especially won’t because the Cats owned them in Manhattan. I, for some reason, just have a feeling that the other two games on the horizon will be so much more appealing and lure some attention away. I can really see them looking ahead if KU takes out OU on Big Monday. The Tigers are due for a lose, and despite the obvious rationale that they should show up because they need to get some redemption, I just feel it’s going to be a little different on Wednesday… (P.S. Just want to say feelings mean nothing…)
