the game was very frustrating. when we were down by 5 or 6, it always felt like 15. it was very clear that the bucs have more talent than the owls. they really did a good job on the presses and traps they implemented, and it looked like it was able to throw the offense out of sync. i cant even count the number of times the fans were counting down the shot clock because we sat and held the ball for so long. that was probably the most frustrating part. that, and the fact that every time the owls had a little something going, the bucs turned right around and matched it. i understand what im about to say might not exactly fit with ingle's offensive philosophy but it seemed like almost everytime we penetrated into the lane, good things happened. I dont see why we dont drive the ball more than we do, and for a team that likes to shoot 3s the drive opens up the outside with a dish. i dont know, this is just something ive noticed for a long time now.

on a couple of side notes, i was disappointed not seeing mitchell in some action. And also, for it being the day before christmas eve, there was a pretty good crowd. while granted there were next to no students there, the community seems to be buying into the program.

also, i dont know if anyone has been to any games lately, but theyve implemented an emcee, really i would say more so like the nba in the sense that he tries to pump up the crowd and stuff. its not caught on well yet with the crowd, but i think its a great idea.

my last comment doesnt have to do with the game itself, but i heard it tonight at the game so i thought id mention it. i was told that sometime in the very near future KSU would be adding a third color of red to their school colors. i was told thats why the seats in the convocation center are yellow and red on the sidelines. i dont know, i hadnt heard a word about that till tonight. what about anyone else? has there been any news about this i mightve missed?
