K-State-WVU

[AdaSooner]

Foster is still suspended and not in the lineup at WVU tonight.

Would anyone be surprised to learn that the announcer said he may be back for Saturday's game?

Good for Marcus. We owe him one!

I only saw the final 2:30 but sheesh, neither team wanted to win this one. Ugly basketball down the stretch.

Gosh why couldn't we have played @WVU late in the season when everyone figured out their press???

Lon knows how to beat a press.

The problem was our execution, and of course the officials letting them mug us didn't help.

We really have played below our potential for a good portion of the season imo.

Looks like we have turned a corner and really hope it continues!

Why would Weber wait till Saturday? It's a big game for them, but tonight's was arguably even bigger. A tough game on the road calls for all hands on deck.

Makes no sense to me either, but that is what the announcer said. It would be interesting to know what Foster did to deserve Weber's wrath? Assuming the suspension was warranted, you've got to give Bruce credit for sticking to his guns regardless of the consequences. KSU is well on its way of being on the outside looking in during the post season, even the NIT.

I'll give him credit if and when Foster sits on Saturday.

It's arguably a bigger game tonight but it's much more difficult to win on the road, even with all your guns. He can bring him back for a home game against a team they've beaten already and hopefully jumpstart the rest of the season with a huge crowd and a huge win over a Top 15 team.

Yeah, like THAT'S gonna happen! :ez-roll:

Yeah, I agree. I've been expecting his reinstatement to occur this weekend since his suspension was first announced. If Foster plays a typical game, I think we'll be okay, but I fear he'll return with a vengeance and wreak hardwood havoc.

So when was he suspended? Has he already sat out 3 games?

Has he already sat out 3 games?

yes. welcome back, marcus.

 

[slappy in OP]

If he is reinstated this Saturday and those kittens beat us again....serenity now.

 

[DenverSooner]

Hurt and a lack of energy/focus beat OU. Not Foster.

For K-State, there was little chance of coming back from that deficit. Not on the road. Not with one timeout remaining. And not with Marcus Foster and Malek Harris watching from the locker room suspended. Both players have missed three games for violating unspecified team rules. Weber said he would re-evaluate their statuses before K-State’s next game against Oklahoma on Saturday. Sources say both players are expected to be active. Perhaps their returns can push the Wildcats back into the win column. They showed several signs of progress against the Mountaineers, despite the loss, attacking West Virginia’s zone much more aggressively than they did during a 65-59 home loss last month.

So Foster is likely to play…that's no surprise. Doesn't matter. There will not be a lack of motivation on behalf of OU. The players realize that the loss to KSU at home is what will likely keep them from sharing the Big XII title. They will want revenge.
