KU vs K-State : Official Big12 #6 Game thread

[NDballer13]

I watched most of the 2nd half last night between Houston and UConn. Grimes has done literally nothing to get better. He picked up his 4th foul with 8 and a half minutes left and came out for a few minutes. He played the last 6 minutes and the only time his name shows up in the play-by-play of the game is when he missed 2 free throws around the 5 minute mark. I was one of his biggest supporters last year when everyone else was hoping he'd find his spot at the end of the bench.

Take out the McD's AA label and class rankings and just put him on the floor with a bunch of other guys and he's just another guy. He's had 4 high scoring games this year. Not a single one game against a decent, let alone good, team. Rice, Texas Southern, Georgia Tech, and South Carolina. Take those games out and he's averaging 8.5 points while shooting worse than his already shitty numbers as a freshman.

Small sample size take since that's the first I've watched Houston this year, but Braun over Grimes every time. Grimes went to Houston thinking he could walk in and be the guy. He has now lost his spot to a redshirt freshman for the 2nd straight year. At least with Braun you'll know he's on the floor by putting his nose in the action even if he's not lighting up the box score.

One of Grimes' best college games was his very first one. I think there were many of us who expected great things from him after that. Bill Self included.

After being the MVP for the FIBA team under Self, then starting his career with that MSU game, I was ready to hand him the POY trophy. Oops.

It just feels like he stopped pushing and started feeling sorry for himself.

Basically the opposite of Braun.

[NDballer13]

Exactly. Had all these accolades and awards coming out of high school. Thought he would just coast through one year of college and be an instant millionaire. Didn't work out that way, so he blames someone else.

[CrimsonNBlue]

And throw in the fact that he had his people in Texas telling him exactly what he wanted to hear. There are some self-fulfilling prophecies--Grimes failing at KU is on his camp.

so he blames someone else.

Yup.

That's normal in today's world though. We've even got people on here blaming the KState guy for SDS picking up the stool. It's always someone else's fault.

I'm gonna knead more proof.

Another problem in society today. Many judge other people's action to fit their perspective.

I think Illy always knew that SDS was a powder keg waiting for an improbable series of events to unleash an attack using a dangerous prop against erstwhile unwitting attackers. It was too perfect.
