87-74 KSU. Big hug between Frank Martin and Anthony Grant.

Anybody see the old dude doing the KSU chant? Calamitous.

A few 10-20 teams fell this weekend. Should be a good opportunity for KSU to move up in the rankings.

Great way to ring in the holidays.

OK, now that we escaped that garbage 2nd half with a W.... Here's a Top 25 (a.k.a. teams ahead of us that lost) update:

#9 Tennessee got worked by Southern Cal, 77-55.
#10 UNC lost to #2 Texas, 103-90
#11 Georgetown lost to Old Dominion at home, 61-57.
#13 Florida lost to Richmond at home, 56-53.
#15 Gonzaga got killed by #7 Duke, 76-41.
#16 Texas Tech lost at Wichita State, 85-83.

Teams in between #10 and us (#17) that didn't lose: #12 Michigan State beat IPFW, 80-58. #14 UCONN plays UCF tomorrow.

FG% 59%. (29-49)

FT% 73% (23-31)

3pt FG% 40% (6-15)

TO's were again an issue. Jake had 6, Wally 5 Dom 3 - accounting for 14 of 22 total.

The officials let them play and that's agood thing. There were some really good gifted players in this game and it was nice to see the stripes allow them to run.

I'm happy. EMAW!!

KSU fans should be happy...

K-State defeats the #93 RPI team by 13 on the road...
KU defeats the #235 RPI team by 11 on a "neutral court" located less than 90 miles from the KU campus.

It's okay. Just blame it on KK.

Open Big XII play At 13-1:

01/09 @ MIZZ 2:00pm

Cant wait for that Mizzou game. Good test to open with a road game in a hostile emvironment.

Congrats Kittens. You guys are looking pretty good, even though you did beat the Kansas School of the Blind by like six points. Shall lead to a good Big 12.

Welcome lost phogtards. We knew you couldn't quit the Cats.

At the very least the Cats should be road tested. Wish the guys were opening on the road in Boulder.

:LOL:

Says the fan of the #1 team in the Country that just beat the FEARED (5-5) Michigan Wolverines by 11.....................AT HOME.

You are a ****ing dumbass.:LOL:

You do realize Michigan was a pre-season Top 12 team right? You do realize that KU put the smack down to Fort Hayes State while just fucking around in exhibition? You do realize that the Michigan game wasn't ever in question and KU got up by 21 points quick before getting lackadaisical. You do realize that KU played probably their worst game of the year and still won by 11. Since when is a 11 point victory over a slow it down grinding Big 10 team favored to be in the Top 3 of their conference a bad thing anyway?

Alright, just checking you were aware of all of the following. Carry on

It's been sort of a strange early season. Cats 10-1, ranked playing good D, and shooting lights out and the Cat fans are ecstatic.

UK is 10-0, routed the teams they should rout, and in their 'closer' wins, they haven't really been challenged. Yet their fans (save for KC_Conn) are shit the bed upset because every game isn't over by halftime.

I remember last season when BWill raged against Martin's bad language. Then he said it was okay to cuss out a three year old. A walking <strike>contradiction</strike> contra-tard-ion.

You DO realize that FHSU was just one game? Right? That's it's not indicative of an entire season? Right?

Just checking. Carry on.

And you are aware the Michigan is #235 in the RPI. Just checking that you are aware.

you are aware that Michigan (5-5) is no longer top 12?

you do realize Michigan had to go to OT to beat Creighton (4-6), right?

you are aware Michigan lost to a mediocre Utah (5-6), right?

you are aware Michigan got beat by Alabama, who KSU just whipped in a fairly average performance, right?

Not surprised. Kentucky Wildcat fans are always pissed at their team about something.

HA!

No. I'd say he not aware of those 4 points.

However, he's acutely aware that Frank Martin cusses like a sailor and Denis Clemente gave a love tap to some pussy on his squad last season.

Holy ****.

You are dumber than a box of ball hairs.

He's a KU fan - not a college basketball fan. Of course he doesn't know any of those things.

"Naismith... Naismith invented basketball. At KU. I've been to his grave, man".

LOL. You kitten fans are defensive. I was congratulating you on a win and you guys get all bent out of shape. I really do hope K-State has a great year and from all accounts Frank Martin has done and excellent job and Jacob Pullen has pulled his head out of his ass. K-State being good is good for Kansas. It will make the Big 12 that much better and the taste of victory even sweeter when KU sweeps the regular season and Big 12 tournament.

Classic.

Thanks for the laugh, oh, and the kudos.

ROFL

Back)peddle faster!

When did these two things crash into your skull? Yesterday? Day before? I seriously crack up at you phogophants. It's like BWittany Murphy is posting.

I notice you no longer have an Iowa avatar.

Tonight i'll get to hear "Your number 12 ranked Kansas State Wildcats" as our team is introduced.

It'll be surreal.

Highest ranking since 1973. That surprised me as well.

Dammit, I can't make it to tonight's game. First home game I've missed since last year's winter break.

But I'll be there on next Tuesday for Cleveland St. (doing play-by-play on it for the student radio station, BTW) and can't wait to hear the ranking as they're introduced. Haven't heard that since Beasley.

I'm headed up there around 3 this afternoon. Can't wait to welcome these guys back home.

#15 in coaches poll

We could be higher come next week, depending on who loses in the 7-11 range.

It's pretty cool to be ranked that high. Do I think they're the 12th best team in the country, no, but still pretty neat.

w00t

Game on 360 tonight.

This makes me feel very EMAW-ish.

Congrats on what would be a down year for Kansas, kitties! We realize you're in rareified air so keep jizzing all over yourselves.

Under 16:

Pullen 8
UAPB 4

HOLY SHIT

Chris Merriweather made a basket.

Tom's shine boy!

Under 12:

KSU 17
UAPB 12

27-16 8:02

Under 8:

KSU 27
UAPB 16

The score likely won't reflect it, but I'm impressed by UAPB, for playing their 10th straight on the road, they're playing some pretty inspired ball.

Under 4:

33-21

Clemente from 30 feet at the buzzer.

Halftime:

KSU 44
UAPB 29

Final:

#12 KSU 90
UAPB 76

Meh - played pretty poorly at times. A very "meh" game overall.

Not a bad outing for being the last game before Christmas break and playing a winless opponent at home.

thx for the kind words

Your paranoia with KSU MBB is noted. Thanks Cockthief!

So Gottllieb said KSU fans are "vicious" today? LMAO And that Pullen will be leaving after this year?

Where would Pullen be going? Not the NBA.... not yet anyhow. If at all.

FTR guys, UCONN is losing to Maine right now in the 2nd half in a very close game. If they can't pull it out or struggle to do so, the Cats could jump them to #11...

A very good game going on ESPN 2. MSU/UT.

08:13 62-60 UT

Forget what I said earlier about UCONN, they finally turned it on & are winning by a lot.

But yeah, MSU-UT is a great game. It's nice to watch 2 very good basketball teams & not be scared sh*tless of them for once.

68-61 UT 5:15

UT with some great D and a 6-2 run, capped by a steal and lob/dunk. 74-63 3:32

Absolutely means nothing, but it's fun to look at.
:D

Next 2 should be RPI killers.

We went from 1 to 3 after the ARPB game, then went up to 2 after last nights games. Ole Miss plays WVU today. An Ole Miss win would be nice.

I do agree, I think after the next two games, we'll fall to 20 or so.

I don't think we'll fall that far - still in the Top 10-15 imo.

The gift that keeps on giving. This quote regarding Syracuse losing an exhibition game.

LMAO.

Saul- You should update the OP to reflect our record/rank/current game.

Seems like there's a small group of us who keep this thread rocking, and it might be nice to have it all up top.

Not a big deal, just a friendly suggestion!

I'm fairly certain all 6 KSU fans on the board usually know the current record/rank of the team.

Yes, and we need to learn all the catch phrases that our little brothers use:

"We get everybody's A game".

"Other teams throw up garbage/prayer/contested/ shots that always fall".

Feel free to add others.

"X(random player not Xavier) always seems to have a career night".

"They're throwing a Junk defense out there"

"The tournament's really just a crapshoot"

Bitch about the refs, non-stop.

My personal favorite was:
"If it wasn't for the 3-point line, we would have won."

Heard that one after 84-75.

Side bar: Anybody else see the vid of Derrick Roland fracturing his his lower leg (tib/fib)?

Those fractures are so nasty looking. Plate, screws.. possible tibial rod. Ouch!

Oh hey, it took all of 3 clicks to find a reference.

"Are we also allowed to bring up the fact that Cal hit an insane amount of long shots with a hand in their face, which would have turned the game into a rout had those not fallen?"

No. That doesn't happen there. Only in our place with the angry coach and the angrier fan base.

Sherron Collins' dog got sick the night before, his head wasn't in the game.

FYP

go back to your own country

Enjoy.
