Dean Wade will drop 30 Thursday

[willyclyde]

Who?

Dean’Wayne Wade. He might get 50 and a triple double.

 

[willyclyde]

Very few (but the loudest) of our fans are afraid of everything else, why not be afraid of this dude?

True

Ha.

Kansas State sucks offensively. UK is capable of overwhelming them. That doesn't mean UK WILL overwhelm them, but try to play anything like Buffalo did and it's a blowout.

 

[minjo]

May I suggest a solution for this Wade character not to play this game?
We can pay him to refuse playing the game.
Sarcasm, of course.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Would say they're most like South Carolina; tough but a bit offensively challenged. They did lose by 1 at Allen Fieldhouse. So they can compete.

Cats will have to bring their A game, for sure.

 

[Ukbrassowtipin]

Had you heard of him before we were scheduled to play them? I hadn't.....there's a reason for that.

I mean he was first team big12...but he plays for K state.

We're You terrified of Maten, Williams from UT, or Colin Sexton?

 

[FanofUK]

The team we are least afraid of could be the team we lose too, Cal will have the guys focused tho. So I will save my hand wringing for the game.

 

[Swifterz_rivals379959]

come on, it's Dean Wade, not Dwyane Wade we're talking about.

 

[minjo]

As we have witnessed the passed week's games and the results, we should know any thing is possible in a given day.
We have to be respectful to the other teams and fans.

 

[Midwestfella12]

Look, a KSU fan has shown up.

Lies

 

[irishcat1965]

Is he on a diet?

 

[bluefan65]

No he won`t.

A little nerd math here... let's say that Wade comes in to score 30 in this game (almost twice his per game average for the season btw).

Let's take a look at the UMBC game stats to see what that would do.

Wade plays an average of 33.6 minutes per game, so those minutes have to come from other players. Based on season playing time averages, here's who made up for his absence:
Mawien (+12min)... 0.34 points per minute vs UMBC
Sneed (+3min)... 0.24 points per minute vs UMBC
Stokes (+8min)... 0.12 points per minute vs UMBC
Diarra (+10min)... 0.15 points per minute vs UMBC

If we look at those 4 players' PPM in the game vs UMBC, & adjust for their new playing time, KState as a team loses 7.2 points from that massive 50 points they hung on the 16 seed. Now take those away, add in Wade's hypothetical 30 & we arrive at 72.8 points.

Boys... if we can't score 73 on KState, then we don't deserve to beat the fighting Bruce Webers & the cyborg mercenary they call Wade.

1. dEAN wade missed several games. Rust and basketball shape will play its role.. Michael Porter and Vanderbilt bothed sucked their first game back.
2. see #1 folks.

 

[SmyrnaCatFan]

I hate their logo.

I hate our logo!

 

[truebluewildcat_rivals34254]

Who the hell is Dean Wade?

 

[TortElvisII]

He is unstoppable. KSU is unbeatable, they are a lock for the Final Four.

Am I doing this right?

Absolutely!

 

[JC CATS]

Gotta hype it up right?

All the teams we are about to play are great according to the media, until we beat them, then they were bums, ok then

 

[nkuCATfan]

What kind of competition did he see in the big 12, big man wise this year?

 

[James Arington]

I’ve heard a lot (well, one) of fans talking about this and am afraid we are going to talk it into actually happening. Thoughts?

Amazing somebody thinks that. Should be a palm reader.
