They definitely did. Also, they put Auburn as a No.9 at home to set up a made for TV second-round match-up.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Is this the GOAT UT hoops team?)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Who is "we"? I heard Tausili Akana was a bit smaller, maybe you have them confused? But we know Hill is pushing to start opposite Ford so not sure why anyone would expect Lefau to start as a freshman. They both need to be ready to play quality snaps though this year so the faster they're ready the better.
The thing is they have Hill working behind Ford at the moment I wonder how long it takes before they move him opposite Ford.
It’s part of their resume. I’m talking the entire body of work. Off the top of my head:
‘88-‘89
‘89-‘90
‘93-‘94
‘99-‘00
‘00-‘01
‘01-‘02
‘02-‘03
‘03-‘04
‘05-‘06
‘07-‘08
‘10-‘11
All were clearly better squads
Actually if you know the game of hoops. So I get why you don’t understand.
Have you been to Lawrence?
Kansas State hasn't been some doldrum of a program. It is much better than Fresno State or UTEP (and yes, I am aware of Texas Western's history).
Between Texas and Kansas State, which program has been better overall going back 15 seasons?
I plan to VDR the games and watch afterward! Kind of less exciting, but at least I'm not forcing the L.
How are we defining success?
Tournament success? Kansas State. if we're going back 15 years.
What if we go back to 1996?
It has gone to the Tournament 10 times in 27 years. Texas has gone 23 times.
I just ignored you. It was less avoiding and more ignoring.
Bring it in, big guy.
Sure lol
He had his cookies taken by the 49ers Every. Single. Time. Dude is the definition of overrated. All talk.
That umpire needs to be fired yesterday. That's the most Bs call i've ever seen
Except he's not. Struggling with Deebo doesn't mean that 9 out of 10 times, he's going to win his battle strongly.
15 years covers 3 different prior HCs for KSU. You made a big deal about Tang performing some sort of miracle in Manhattan when appreciable recent history shows a pretty solid good level of success. 2 Elite 8s. 2 more Sweet Sixteens. 3 other first round wins. Basically a push with Texas. Building a good program at KSU is not some miraculous task
Tang's No.3 seed is the second highest in program history to go along with the 2010 team that was a No.2 seed and went to the Elite 8.
In year one.
Following a 4-year absence from the Tournament.
I'm not telling you he did a great job. History is.
It was a 3 season absence. Technically 2 but the point stays the same. Have I EVER said he didn’t do a great job? So history isn’t really telling me anything.
It is. It's telling you that he created the second-best regular season in program history based on seeding.
And it's telling you that while you argue that Kansas State has been at least UT's equal as a program in the last 15 years.
On another note, you're right three seasons.
Bruce Weber, a man that has taken three different tams to the Tournament, two teams to the Sweet 16 and one to the Elite 8, went the following in his last three seasons:
11-21
9-20
14-17
Tang went 23-9 on the fly.
So, yeah, maybe a miracle job.
Not from a production or contribution to great teams standpoint.
He never had more than 396 yards or 2 TD in a season.
