-What's you opinion on Marcus Foster? Super offensive player. Comes easily for him. But, seems like he's been gone forever. But, he's special. Fun to look at how his percentages have improved. He's a lethal shooter. And, I'm so happy about the man he's become. He's back on track.
-Key to game will be Marcus Foster against a great defender, Barry Brown.
-Dean Wade would be the best player on the floor, but will he even play? He won't be healthy. All he did yesterday was shoot. Anyone can shoot stationary. He's got a ways to go. I think he'll eat up some minutes, and that's probably it.....15-20 minutes maybe. He definitely won't be 100% offensively. He's already said he wants to concentrate on defense and rebounding. Don't expect much offensively.
-What can K-State do to slow Creighton down? Starts with Marcus, but he's not only one. They run pick and pop for three's very well, for multiple people. Mak will have to hedge very hard and guard the three tonight. K-State is going to have to get all five guys out to defend the arc. And when you do that, they got players who can get to rim. With our big guy out defending, that posses a seriously problem.
-They like to play fast and shoot fast. When defending their transition, have to find players immediately. Defenders are going to have to find a man very quick....regardless of who's it is. Going to have to communicate.
-Then, make Creighton guard. They do not want to do this very much. They play four guards, they want to run and shoot. If Wade was healthy, K-State would carve them up on that end.
