I know there are enough of us to participate in this thread, even when our seasons inevitably go to shit.
KSU vs Western Illinois today, tip-off at 3:00 pm.
One thing I noticed near the end of the game on Friday night - we had 5 true freshman on the court, and still played sound basketball. None of them were scrub walk-ons either. While I don't think we will make a serious run at anything this year, the foundation is being laid for a solid program in the future. [Reply]
Now if only there was someway to make Duke and Purdue lose....
#5 Duke plays Tulsa and Virginia. :wank:
#3 Purdue plays #14 Michigan State this week on Sunday. That'd be nice if Purdue dropped behind us. They also play Minnesota on Wednesday.
#4 Syracuse plays #8 Villanova, but that upset may bite us in the ass, as I could see Syracuse staying above us and Villanova possibly jumping us. Syracuse also plays Providence on Tuesday.
I'd like us to be as high as possible going in to Lawrence (duh) so we don't drop out of the 2 seed conversation. At 6, a loss might do that to us if we don't clean up in the big 12 tourney.
But if we win in Lawrence........... yowzas.
Tech and Mizzou first tho. Let's just power through this week, baby. [Reply]
Here's a funny little factoid of the day for you wildcat fans to think about until KU wins again.
What if K-State wins out, KU loses out, and both finish tied? Who gets the #1 seed?
They would literally have to flip a coin. KU and KSU would have the same record against the same teams in the entire conference, there would not be a multi-team tiebreaker, and they dont have "strength of victory" or "points scored/against" tiebreakers in basketball. [Reply]

Might want to re-word that professor... KU would be 29-1 and KSU 22-7. I dont think there would be a coin flip.. [Reply]

That's what us big brothers are for. No need to thank the EMAW'ers for expanding your horizons.
Tip off at 7pm in Lubbock.
Your welcome Big Met.... You and your Every Metrosexuals a Wildcat group are expanding horizons we wouldnt dream of venturing into....
Mad props to the emaw'ers... Its a free country....:-) [Reply]

Gawd, this game scares the sh*t out of me tonight. Lubbock (along with Stillwater) is pretty much the bane of K-State. I'm hoping the 'Cats pull it out, but am not willing to make any predictions on it. [Reply]

TT is that way for KU also... I hate playing out there! [Reply]
