If they play like tonight, yeah, they'll be a contender.

less than two weeks ago they were routed by West Virginia...

[Flames24Rulz]

I'm really starting to buy Villanova losing in the first round.

[Sosa21MVP]

Apparently K-State is going to win at Texas. :-o

[Smack]

Yikes! Does that make Texas a 3 seed?

[snoodmonger]

kudos to KSU for turning it around this season. I have to agree with tadowdaddy--I think they beat Mizzou at a neutral court right now.

 

Also, man has Texas tanked here at the end of the season. They've lost 3/4, all to teams on the bubble at the time of their game. And they could definitely lose @ Baylor, too. They've been pretty unlucky in close game though. Five of their six (SIX!) losses have come by 5 pts or less. (2, 1, 3, 2, 5)

 

And finally, looks like KU can clinch at least a share of its 7th straight conference title if they can beat aTm in Lawrence on Wednesday. I don't know what KU will do in the tourney this year. I could see us winning it all, and I could see us losing in the second round. I'm a bit of a pessimist, so I smell an early exit. They play inconsistently. That said, kudos to Self for building another potential conference champ and title contender, even after losing his starting PG/go-to player and two guys to the NBA draft.

This team is NAILS lately. I know Pullen and Kelly will hurt next year, but we have guys that have gotten minutes that WILL contribute next year. I don't expect us to be down like people here say. I would NOT look forward to playing us in the NCAA's regardless of where we end up. I see anywhere from a 4 should we win out to a 6 or 7. They picked a great time to be playing the way they are.

Five days ago KSU was struggling to win at Nebraska. Nobody fears them.

To be fair, nebraska has only lost two home games this year--KU and KSU. I don't know how confident I'd be of a road win there if I were a Mizzou fan.

I'm not going to tell you ND is going to make a deep run, because I have no idea, but you keep referring to these ND losses by 12 or 14 points as 'routs', and I have to wonder what your standard is for a rout. That game wasn't decided until about 4 minutes were left.

 

Also, Tim Higgins and Co. officiated that WVU game like a football game. No tournament refs - I hope - are going to be calling games like the steel cage matches that occur in Morgantown.

 

Anyway, that game was fun, though I wish we could have saved that shooting for @UConn on Saturday with possibly the Big East title on the line.

[Andy]

Also, the latest Lunardi bracket, which has ND facing the winner of Mason and Mich St in round 2, is pretty terrifying. I don't want any part of either of those teams, especially MSU, in the dance.

I'm not confident at all. Mizzou is awful on the road and Doc Sadler's teams give them hell. But for a KSU fan to start chest-beating because they took down a tanking Texas team with a stupid coach, well that's just hilarious.

[Coach C]

Five days ago KSU was struggling to win at Nebraska. Nobody fears them.

 

To be fair, KSU had several moments where they had a 5-7 point lead, and blow it at the middle/late of the 2nd half. Basically, they couldn't close the deal.

 

Now it seems like they figured it out. Also their FT shooting has improved dramatically, and that's critical, especially going to the NCAA tourny.

 

I think K-State is a lock now, after beating KU at Manhattan, and beating Texas at their court. KSU's RPI is also what, 25? I know their SOS is 6.

 

I'm thinking somewhere between the 4-8 seed for K-State. 4 being if they win against ISU, and win the Big XII tournament, and 8 if they flame out.

Nebraska is very tough at home.

Keep talking Mr. Mizzou. This team started the Big 12 season 2-5. They will finish 10-6 should they do what they are supposed to and beat ISU at home. Meaning, they've gone 8-1 to finish the season. The only loss could have been a W at CU had there been another tenth of a second on the clock. How is that not an impressive finish? In that stretch we've beaten Mizzou and KU at home, as well as have won on the road at UT and at NU which is not an easy place to win. Hell, no road wins are easy in the Big 12. Ask Anderson....

To be fair, tadow is a ridiculous homer.

[SouthSideRyan]

And KSU is definitely a lock.

Right, and Coach C is a KSU guy too. Snayke isn't as much a homer as much as he's really into making edgy comments.

 

But you have to give KSU credit. Even if Texas is fading, they're still a strong enough team that beating them(especially in that fashion) on the road is a clear indicator that KSU is a different team. Someone's going to be pissed that they draw them as a 6 seed come next Sunday.

Homer... for sure, as are all of you when it comes to your teams. Ridiculous, probably not.

Didn't know Coach C was a KSU guy. Glad to not be the only one here. In the end, the majority of us are Cub fans at least.. hahaha.

You're not ready to take cubbiebum's mantle of most utterly preposterous homerism, but you're a pretty big homer. Probably more in sulley's range. No offense.

 

We're all homers to a degree, but not all homers are equal.

[SouthSideRyan]

Sulley's not a homer. He requires a new word(if not entire language) be invented to describe his fandom

[Magnetic Curses]

well yeah

[Exile on Waveland]

Oh, this guy is a ridiculous homer. However, K-State is playing some great ball and seems likely to out-perform their seed come tournament time.

[shnsajax]

The brightside for me is that Texas lost by 5 and had maybe there worst shooting game of the year Hamilton, Joseph, and Brown shot a combined 9 for 40.
