What I did & didn't like from K-State's win over Creighton: https://t.co/KSyjDeC5gR

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

Casey Alexander on Brandon Rechsteiner:

"He just wants to be in those moments. He's a veteran player. He's been around the block. He's kind of relishing the opportunity to have some freedom and be the guy, and he's taking advantage of it."

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

Casey Alexander says he's not surprised by Brandon Rechsteiner's performance.

Says he wanted Rechsteiner to come into this program and play 30 minutes per game and lead the team in scoring. So far, so good.

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

Brandon Rechsteiner on the crowd at Bramlage:

"Road games are tough, and they made it really tough on Creighton to come in here. You felt that when we went on a run, like we hit three threes in a row, and we're just feeding off the crowd, feeding off each other, and the environment that was created. We really feed off it, we appreciate it, students and the regular fans. We just love it."

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

Jaden Schutt on what type of leader Brandon Rechsteiner is:

"He's about the right things. He leads by example as well as being a vocal leader. So he's one of those guys where you walk into the gym and he's always working out and just putting in the work."

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

This may sound silly to point out, but the best part of this victory is that K-State simply didn't take its foot off the gas.

Once it built its lead, K-State never truly let Creighton back into the game.

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

Still don't exactly understand how this team lost to South Dakota State. Haha.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you:

offense

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

@WyattWheeler_ Yes. That’s what makes your tweet just so funny, man!

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

As I was saying.

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

Not at all an overreaction to say Brandon Rechsteiner has to be THE guy for K-State this year.

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

Matt Gilhool is pretty damn far along in terms of basketball IQ/having a feel for the game, given the fact that he redshirted last year at LSU.

Just looks comfortable out there.

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

K-State committed 12 turnovers in the first half against Creighton.

Almost a miracle that this game is tied at the half given that number being so high.

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

K-State's got a number of guards who are more than capable of competing in the Big 12.

Down low, though, one of the bigs is going to have to step up. What we are seeing isn't cutting it.

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

I totally understand that a player can't just be on the court for a full 40 minutes every single game.

But every second that Brandon Rechsteiner spends on the bench, I really don't like. He's so important.

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

Timo Malovec checks in for the Cats. Game on!

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

K-State’s Timo Malovec is going through pregame shoot around at Bramlage.

Positive signs as he nears a return from injury.

[Ryan Gilbert @RyanGilbert_]

@scottwildcat @Cam_Bam48 is the best
