You sure? I was thinking the players & coaches would go into this game trying to lose. But you convinced me otherwise.

KY, staff and players must go all in

Archaea

Mar 17, 7:21am

Do you think they will go all in or will they make the mistake of only going in

Charles Darwin

I mean the focus must be on every detail.

I don’t know. Playing a clearly injured guy really hurt us last year. Maybe

Catching won’t be fasting during the game, so a bit better than Kalifa

Personally I'd feel more comfortable if they gave it 110% effort

It's was a successful year no matter Thursday's result. 4th in the Big 12?

Tied for 3rd. Seeded 4th for conference tournament purposes.

Assistant coach: "Let's go 78%." KY: "No, I was on CB today. We're going 100%!"

Also KY: "Where was this Archaea guy all my life. Can we get him on staff!"

So, team should try really hard to win? These are the insights I come to CB for!

Can you share the article or video

It was Egor’s interview.

Thanks. The question was about slow starts in general which have been a problem

Correct.

I know I'm a weirdo, but I think it's been a fun season

It has been okay but a win in the Tournament vindicates it.

Archaea

Mar 17, 8:11am

In your mind maybe. Not sure what they'd be vindicating? They've already won all those games...

Hammurabi

Mar 17, 8:48am

Yeah, all those wins against ranked teams, including AT Arizona & AT Iowa St were just "okay."

I would hate to live a miserable life where a top 20 finish is not good enough.

Feels like KY has higher expectations.He expects to win & knows how to prepare.

So odd to write that. Coaches and players are 100% all in. Season was awesome

I think his point is that the success of this season will be overshadowed if we

Mar 17, 10:17am

It’s a dumb point. A top 20 finish in MBB is not getting overshadowed.

kalifi

It did last year. We finished the regular season #21 and it got overshadowed.

If you are always looking to be a downer. Last year was awesome.

Not looking to be a downer. But to me the most important thing is the post

Not overshadowed at all. Bummer BYU lost 1st round. Last year was really good.

My HS coaches always talked about "Giving 110%." Thot it was bad math.

Parker Schnabel

Maybe if the cougars give 1,000,000% it would be even better!?

Why impose artificial limits? Give infinity+1 or get out!
