Reading the comments, they sound similar to South Carolina a couple years ago.  Agree, or am I just reading wrong?

After a very quick glance, it seems like the teams are somewhat similar. South Carolina was actually BETTER defensively but worse offensively. SC was taller and shot more 3s. K State shoots 28% from deep compared to SC's 33%

Not a terrible comp. I would say South Carolina was slightly better on defense and Kansas State is slightly better on offense. South Carolina had more rim defenders and rebounded it better. Kansas State also doesn't have a dominate player like Sindarius Thornwell. They have a much more balanced attack between their four best players. Another similarity is the scoring depth. Both teams got all of their scoring from their starting lineup. Not a lot of points coming off the bench (but good rebounding and defense).

I’d say the biggest difference is no Thornwell and we have more size/D this year

Also this is a November home game....not a NCAA tourney road game

After reaching the Final Four, South Carolina finished 17-16 (7-11 in conference play) last season and missed the postseason entirely. Top 25 defense, but the least efficient offense in the SEC. They're struggling again this year, with home losses to Stony Brook (ranked #117 by KenPom) and Wofford (#95).

Frank Martin is now in his seventh season with the Gamecocks. Two years ago was his only NCAA tournament appearance. His record at SC stands at 116-93 (.555) overall, 45-63 (.417) in the SEC.

There are a lot of really bad hiring options out there.  Hitting a HR is hard.  Heck I can't stand TC but in the 1999 coaching carousel he's still my top choice.

I though do hold MU coaches to a higher standard because of the emphasis that MU puts on hoops.

I want to be optimistic about this game but this really worries me. We have turned it over at a high rate against the cupcakes. A team with this ability to take the ball away could be very tough for us. I also worry that Marcus will be working so hard at the point and trying to protect the ball that he will be off/not in rhythm shooting.

Agreed on the TO's, getting bad visions of open court dunks putting us in a large early hole we'll try too hard to dig out of with quick off-rhythm threes. Hope I'm wrong!

Glad we're playing them at home this year and on the road once they lose a lot of talent

Glad it's not a scrimmage, so we'll actually have an idea how it affected our NCAA seed.

On the flip side, getting an early lead would benefit Marquette and force Kstate to play our game.

Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

...not to mention our butter fingers on rebounding.
