I was going to watch part of the Miami-Duke game, but listening to Vitale makes me want to drive an ice pick through my ear drums.

Damn those are the ugliest things I've ever seen.

Just back from the game, and I know it was "discussed" in the game thread, but has anyone else ever seen a team go an entire half without a single free throw attempt? Not to mention that team led the nation in FTA.

Quit bitching for Christs sake....we lost. Get over it

Hit a few J's we win. Crying about doens't change the result. This ****ing keybord is small!!! I'm typing like ROY_run

Quit bitching? This is the first post I've made about the game. While checking stats at halftime, it dawned on me that we didn't shoot a single g'damn free throw in the first half. That's unusual. KU was the better team and won....at no point in my post did I say otherwise. If I wanted to bitch and stir things up, I'd have posted in the game thread.

I want to be in Duke's bracket.

We will be opposite Kentucky after seeing where the #1s fell

Jesus, KU has a tough bracket! They should be fine tho.

BYU lost to UNLV twice.

Tough spot for me this week. Leave for Spring Training the 20th. Don't know if I can get to OKC for the Thursday game and may be on the plane for the Saturday game.

Still, I have to see that Thursday game. And this bracket is a good setup. If the Cats were to meet the 1 seed in the bracket ('Cuse) the Cats could avenge an OT EE loss to them from 1976. I remember it like it was yesterday.

I got my OKC tickets in the mail this morning. Very pumped.

Also, this was in the news: Charlotte Coach Booby Lutz was fired.
From Jeff Goodman @goodmanonfox

Two names that will likely be involved at Charlotte: K-State assistant Dalonte Hill and Kansas assistant Joe Dooley.

Dalonte would likely take a pay cut to go to Charlotte.

But, I say go for it. We could use some new AAU handlers on our bench.

Congrats on the #2 seed, cats. They got a good matchup with regards to the #1 too IMO - KSU was able to handle a similar defense against Baylor twice this year.

I gotta say, as a KU fan, I would not want to see K-State waiting for us in the F4.

Florida/BYU GAME THREAD?

I claim this land for EMAW.

One shining wildcaaaaat.....

Good Luck Cats, from a KU fan

Woohhoooo, I get Vanderbilt at 2. Thank goodness for MMOD.

JFC, I thought Jake fractured his tailbone there. That injury would end his season.

Nice job Wally.

If they're going to call games this tight throughout the tourney, KSU won't have players left at the end of games.

Took care of business. 82-62.

Next up, God's team.

FYP. And yeah, that sucked.

And this. The fact that we won by that much without Jamar says a lot. Hopefully we don't see this crew again.

Wow, according to the CBS studio guys Dennis Clement had a good game today...wait, what????

Do Arizona and 'Nova have the stupid EMAW thing as well? Honest question.

And nice win, boys. Way to represent the B12. I have you in my EE, need more of this against the mormons.

BYU got killed on the boards both O and D. This upcoming game may be a case of letting Freddy get his and shutting off everybody else. Would be nice to foul a lot less as the polygamists do shoot FT's rather well.

Also they started 3-10 from three and then hit 7-13 to finish the game. Most of the that was Freddy. So defensive assignments will be a bitch. And they play zone more than I care to thing about.

congrats on the victory, wildcats


way to represent

I had to leave, any word on Jake?

Bryce Brown has left the University of Tennessee.

Coming to Manhattan, Ks?

No word on that yet.

K-State Confidential on YouTube. Great vid.

Awesome vid. I know where that truckstop is I've travel through it many times.

Notice the jumpman stuff everyone was wearing (including Frank)? Me thinks we will have new uniforms next year...

Where is Bryce Brown? 'As of now,' not on Tennessee's roster

By Matt Hinton

Don't feign surprise, Vol fans: You were duly warned when the Manhattan (Kan.) Mercury suggested earlier this month that former No. 1 running back recruit Bryce Brown might be planning to follow his brother Arthur to Kansas State rather than return to Knoxville to play for new coach Derek Dooley. At that point, according to an anonymous source, Bryce was going to "wait and see how he fits into ... Dooley's system."

Anyone who followed Brown's soap-operatic recruitment last year might have guessed then where that rumor was going. But just to make it official, Tennessee opened spring practice today, and Bryce Brown wasn't there:

The former No. 1 recruit in the country was a no-show as UT took the field under Dooley for the first time on Thursday afternoon, one day after the new coach indicated Brown hadn't approached him about possibly leaving the program.

"As of now he's not a part of the team," Dooley said.

No word out of Knoxville or Brown's native Kansas on the cause of the sophomore-to-be's unplanned absence, or, assuming he's all but finished as a Volunteer, his immediate plans. Again, though, no surprises: Tennessee knew perfectly well it was risking a colossal flake-out when its last new coach, Lane Kiffin, improbably plucked Brown from the clutches of virtually every major program in the country almost exactly a year ago this week. Brown -- like his brother, who signed with Miami as a sought-after, five-star linebacker recruit out of Wichita in 2008-- was the star protegé of a sketchy "mentor" type straight from central sleaze casting, Brian Butler, who advised Bryce right out of his longstanding commitment to join Arthur in Miami (the Hurricanes essentially dropped the younger Brown when he strung out his official decision well beyond the conventional signing day) and into the arms of a brash young scofflaw who had never coached a game as a college head coach and who would be off to his next job in less than a year.

It was like a match made in flake heaven -- Tennessee wasn't even on Bryce Brown's radar until Kiffin arrived at the last minute with his reputation for a "pro style" offense. When Kiffin suddenly bolted in January for his "dream job" at USC, the clock began ticking more loudly for Brown than for any other player on the roster; his brother's decision to leave Miami for KSU was only the spark that lit the fuse. Today, that fuse has apparently burned out as the Dooley era begins in earnest, and the entire episode has blown up in Tennessee's face.

Dooley's language ("as of now ...") does leave the door open to the possibility that Brown will be a part of the team again sometime in the future. Without more specific information or a more firm dismissal, nothing can be ruled out entirely. At this point, though, I don't think I'm reaching to assume most Tennessee fans are wondering why they'd still want him.

[UPDATE, 9:42 p.m. ET] The Associated Press says Brown has left the team, apparently for good:

Dooley said Brown told him Thursday that he was dealing with family and personal problems that included "some of the reasons why he came here." Brown was not present for practice.

"I was a little surprised, but you can only control what you can control," Dooley said. "He went through the entire offseason, but I also think that this wasn't something from the last three weeks. But I'm not here to recruit. I'm here to coach."

Dooley said Brown will finish the semester at Tennessee, but whatever "family and personal problems" have made football an afterthought remain a mystery. This story will have some legs over the next few months.

Be patient, but it is looking very good.

I'm kind of a tard when it comes to this stuff, but isn't Jumpman a part of Nike?

And not that I think it's a huge deal, but haven't we changed them plenty in the last 4-5 years? We went from that awful pre-Huggins jersey to the "cat scratch" stuff for about a year & a half, then changed to the current ones in the middle of the Beasley year. I guess I just don't see what's wrong with the current jersey... Now if they unveil some kind of super-badass Nike elite jersey that doesn't look like trash, I'll be cool with it.

A loss here and the season is a wash. I hope Dom has the assignment on Fredo. Make him work for everything and hope the hand of God doesn't touch another player who goes off for 20+.

Ugh. It's snowing outside.

This is set up perfectly for K-State to lose now. Great.

Hey Saul, WTF is up with your team?

What do you mean?

I mean, they are playing the #16 team in the country and struggling.

Ok, that last post was borderline trolling. Sry KSU fans. Just giving a little shit back to Mr. Bad Guy. I actually want to see the Cats win. Clemente seems a little off, though. Hopefully, he gets it going.

Edit: Just as I say that, he hits a 3.

Pretty poor attempt at trolling, if so.

My coworker is a big KSU guy. He was really worried about BYU and was hoping they would lose in the first round. He said BYU was a top 10 team.

:D I'm not good at that kind of thing.

Samuels is having a piss poor game, and that is bad. Very bad.

Damn.

Tied up. Don't fret, Saul. The better team's defense is starting settle in. Much better than those first few minutes.

That's what they gotta do. It helps that none of our players are in foul trouble like they usually are at this point.

Gotta get JAMSAM into this game.

When Jamar has a poor game, we lose. That's the way it's been all season.

That fall Pullen took was ROUGH. Hope he's OK.

Nice lean in.

Well a 19-4 run helps...

Hol-ee Shit.

NEGATIVE! on that ghost rider.

No basket. Still pissed that they let him run free like that. Got lucky that it rimmed out.
Posted via Mobile Device

Did you see Frank go nuts after that happened? Some (ok, a lot of) swear words were said, I think to Kelly.

But Jake Pullen...Wow.

Reggie Miller-esque. Gotta give him credit for baiting the ref into calling that. Smart play.

Yeah, he was very upset. Said "goddammit", that I'm fairly certain. He's like Vince Lombardi pissed off becuase Green Bay nearly gave up a touchdown before halftime.

Awesome, that game with that other UK team that wouldn't make it out of the 1st weekend is such a blowout, the switch it over to the Cats.

Congrats on the S16 KSU fans.... Very impressive game today... Good luck next weekend.

Hey. Assface. Get the **** out of our thread.

Suck nuts fat ass....

It does suck that in KSU's best year in the last 20 years, KU doesn't advance out of the first weekend.

So I was born a year after the last time K-State made the Sweet 16. What the hell am I supposed to do with myself?

Pullen is a man among men. His play tonight was amazing, especially considering his injury.
