Kansas State

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

My wife is a big WVU fan, so my house gets a heavy dose of Big XII basketball every winter. For the life of me though, I can't remember anything about K State since Rodriguez transferred to Miami. I do know that Bruce Weber is their head coach. Is this the first matchup between him and Roy since the 05 title game? Wonder if he's still using the blatantly illegal screens to kick-start his offense?

Just looking at their stats, they have 4 guys averaging double digits and four guys capable of knocking down threes. Actually they look pretty balanced across the board. Hopefully the Heels jump on them early and keep them from getting momentum.

Kansas State should offer a real test tonight. We will have to play really well to beat them. Going to need to impose our pace on the game, guard the perimeter (uh oh!), and rebound exceptionally well (especially the long rebounds off 3 point shots). They play a zone defense that absolutely handcuffed Missouri last night, so shooting a good percentage from behind the arc is a MUST tonight.

So long as we move Brice, Kennedy or Isaiah across the open spot in the top of zone or let Justin cruise the soft spots on the baseline again...
I agree, KSU will give us fits more than likely. Well coached and a solid team.
