Kansas St game thread

[Corporal Funishment]

Kansas St is -12, that seems a little bit cuckoo bananas to me, I think -7 or -8 would be reasonable

They are 4-0 but they are actually one of the few teams to have played a worse Strength of Schedule than us so far (we rank 340 vs them at 345)

Looks like they have guards that score but they don't seem particularly imposing inside. If Nebraska-Omaha can get them in foul trouble, why can't we?

I expect us to lose but as far as games against P5 teams go, this one qualifies as winnable

[eepstein0]

I agree with a lot of your assessment.

We likely lose by 15+ but I think the game will be closer than the final score indicates... All of that said, BC ML at +775 is too good to pass up.

Feel like people overreact a bit to that first game.

I'll have to catch this one on DVR but I expect we'll be ok

This game is hideous. The announcers are also bad.

[miutbc]

This truly awful

[NaturalLight]

K State fans seemingly outnumbering BC fans by an inconceivable ratio because you can't divide by zero

This game is hideous. The announcers are also bad.

"Did you know he's the winningest coach ever in the MAC? He won 70% of his games there."
"Went to Texas Christian, did a wonderful job there..."
"Now he's back home at Boston College."

I think Christian is doing a better job than most on this site, but these announcers are fucking awful. The lack of knowledge is unreal...even the facts are presented against a narrative that is patently false...

Would that good job be manifest by having almost zero p5 talent on the team

[NaturalLight]

Graves needs to be pulled immediately. This year he should be a sub that is expected to shoot 3s. 4 TOs by my count in roughly 4 minutes on the floor.

Better job than most on this site doesn't mean "good."

And regardless of the fact that they can't generate offense tonight, I think you can't disagree that the talent level compared to last year appears to be improved.

Last yrs team was the most talentless team I've ever seen so being slightly better than is meaningless.

Announcers talking over each other going into commercial break, then nice awkward pause before one screams about a dunk

Also just not pronouncing Tava's name right. They literally give you a phonetic guide for every player in the one page media guide.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

KState looks a lot faster than BC

[DavidGordonsFoot]

20 turnovers and still ten minutes to go. That's Al Skinner-esque.

TRE was right

this team is going places. the basement is a place, right

[BCEagles25]

If Bowman works hard, he will be a very good player. He has draftable athleticism

Jame Gumb's basement?

[BCEagles25]

And if the Queen had a pair of balls, she would be loved by DGF

That's a much bigger if

this is a good post and you should feel good about it. you burned foot good

[BCEagles25]

K-State is the defensive team I wish BC was.

[Corporal Funishment]

That game was awful in every way
Stop trying to feed Jeffers on the post, it's the new Hilliman up the middle
How do you get 20-odd turnovers AGAINST A TEAM NOT PLAYING PRESSURE DEFENSE, in a SLOW-TEMPO GAME ????
Popovic didn't play in the 2nd half so I'm going to assume he got a concussion...super!
Turner, Chatman, and Owens did diddly squat that justifies Sagay not even getting a look
If the refs are calling the game tight....stop committing cheap fouls!!
We should have lost by 40 but K State played like trash in the first half
Graves and Bowman do it in very different ways but they're both operating on the one-good-play/two-bad-plays ratio
play Sagay

1. The turnovers made this unwatchable, had BC never heard of a back door cut?
2. K St did play pressure D not sure what you were watching.
3. The freshman were just awful in every way, we're not beating anyone playing like that
4. Having 2 freshman PGs is not very fun to watch

With 2 freshman PGs there are just a million TOs out there and we never get into an actual offense. Thought the D we played was pretty good along with the rebounding. On days where Bowman and Graves play like that we're going to get destroyed.

Oh and AJ Turner is not very good.

[eepstein0]

Now I know why LDE bailed, we arent beating anyone in the ACC this year. K-State would be bottom of our conference and they have thoroughly out-classed us.

Disagree they would win some games in the ACC that's like a bubble team we played tonight.

Without the million TOs that would've been a game.

I hope you are right, I just don't think K-State is a bubble team...

They play good defense their offense isn't anything special.

Richmond is in the process of dismantling Maryland.

I would prefer not to play Maryland tomorrow night greatly.

We were able to watch the Knicks win in OT at the Barc so that was a highlight. MD is now winning.

[MF73-Eleazar]

Left when those fucking terrapins shit bags took the lead.

[MF73-Eleazar]

Tava and Bowman had about the same amount of pts as Robinson.

That CANNOT be good.

Reyes played better. Still got bodied a bit, but showed that he has some hops.

Bowman and Graves, showed good things sometimes, but both were still frustrating to watch. TBF, all the players were frustrating to watch.

[BCMurt09]

During the first half a K State player went to the line for a 1 and 1. He made the first then, during the second, someone in the crowd shouted "Addazioooo" and he missed. Just wanted to say thank you, that was fantastic.

When Bowman and Graves go good BC will go good. When they're bad it's going to be a turnover festival.
