bb_fan Another game decided by free throws. Liberty outscored Lipscomb by 2 on the court, but Lipscomb (12/13) made 7 more free throws than Liberty (5/6).
chandler-wright And they became super man in the ft. Near bottom of the conference like us in that stat until tonight
Wingman Disappointing loss. The possession with 6 secs remaining where Burden goes for the lay in to cut it to 1. I think I would have gone for the 3 to tie on that possession.
OwlFan Well to start....17 turnovers is unacceptable. We could not handle the backcourt pressure leading to a lot of these turnovers. They won the FT battle. Cozart averages 2 BPG, and got 4 tonight. 2 being in extremely clutch time on Burden, leading to that monstrous dunk with the and 1 that just got the crowd so far ahead, momentum took place. Burden still had a nice game considering everything. We were out physicaled in the 2nd half. They whooped us, not like the 1st half. Wonder if that 2OT game still had us a bit tired. I agree, Wingman. Definitely would've shot a 3 to see. But you just never know.
chandler-wright OwlFan I did look in the second half especially early that the legs just gave out a bit. That also being said playing at eku is not easy. They have now beat us and liberty on their own court
OwlFan Also, I saw AAR point to himself and blame himself on the throw-in when Burden slipped and fell forcing a turnover. Can't remember if we ended up getting the ball back or not forcing them to turn it over.
bb_fan Last nights attendance 3,761. I took a closer look at conference games attendance (stats as of Feb 3) . EKU is the conference leader at 3,359. Liberty is the only other school over 3,000 at 3,065. 3 schools -- Queens, Stetson, and Jacksonville -- are under 1,000. KSU is 10th with 1,115.
bb_fan This game was won at the free throw line, which was the same scenario as the last time these 2 teams met. KSU scored 4 more points on the floor than EKU, but EKU won the game by the making 7 more free throws than KSU. EKU is the worst free throw shooting team in the conference, but last night was 24/27.
bb_fan The possession started with 11 seconds on the clock and the Owls down 3. Taking a 2 with 6 seconds left was a horrible decision.
bb_fan KSU lost but UGA lost worse so KSU is still the highest ranked Georgia team in the NET. Even increased the lead from 116-117 to 121-127.
TMac1325 EKU is a good team and KSU has played about 34 recent overtime games..The legs, the competition, and the road got us last night..
KingOwlLegacy TMac1325 We usually play 9-10, so the double overtime shouldn't affect us as much as perhaps other teams but I think it was still the deciding factor. I felt this was the first game where Cottle looked his age
bb_fan I guess I'm the only one who believes that an extra 5 or 10 minutes means absolutely nothing to a 20 year old college student.
KingOwlLegacy bb_fan i think it does especially when they aren't used to it. The game went predictably
