***The Official EMAW Repository thread***

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.

What was up with Wally not playing hardly at all?

And, Nick Russell getting minutes kinda early?

Anyway, nice win. Can't wait for Saturday.

[ChiefsNWildcats]

Glad to see Russell getting in on the action some. He's the one I worry about transfering due to playing time.

[Dante84]

I was thinking about it tonight. What will our starting line up look like next year?

G- Pullen
G- Irving/Russel?
F- Sutton/Samuels/Judge?
F- CK/Judge/Samuels?
C- JHR/Aspirilla(sp?)?

Or will we start with a three guard set? or a three forward set? Hmm....

[WilliamTheIrish]

Our lineup will "look" significantly slower. That's about all I can tell you.

[Dante84]

I think I want a 2 seed with Duke or Purdue(if they can hang on to a 1 with their all star out) as our 1 seed.

I'd also like to play in OKC. I wonder if those two things are possible?

Don't forget about McGruder.

I think they're very possible. Win 2 of our last 3 games (KU @ Allen, assuming we don't get blown out), and I think we have a 2 seed locked up. And considering the top 2 seeds in each region get "protected," we'd likely be sent to OKC for the first 2 rounds.

Hell, we win all the rest of our games (@ Allen & win the Big 12 tourney) and we're probably talking about a 1 seed. I don't expect it, but I didn't expect to be talking about a 2 seed this late in the year, either.

I think Asprillasaurus starts at C and McGruder starts at SG. But I'm still thinking about March of 2010 rather than 2011 right now.

with the big east matchups coming up, and purdue having their best player go down for the year, KSU has a legit shot at a #1 seed.

I forgot about McGruder in my previous post, good catch.

We would have to jump Duke, and I just don't see Duke losing until the ACC tourney, if even then. Couple that with our Lawrence game....

For historical and bragging purposes, I would love a 1 seed. This year, though, tactically speaking, I would like to stay close to home(OKC) and the only way to do that is with the #2 seed. Also, if that is the case, and Duke/Purdue are the #1 seed in our bracket, I think we are the(my) favorite to win from our region.

Rare instant analysis from kstater(not Kstater you fools): Wally Judge is not a Wildcat next year. 2 seed locked up.

[kstater]

KU fans won't like this. Outside chance at 1 seed AND OKC in play now. Win in Lawrence then Mizzou beats KU brings it into play. Syracuse rolling brings them to 1, KU and UK to 2/3 going into tomorrow.

I don't think it should change, honestly. Purdue should drop because they are not as good without their best player. They should also lose to Michigan State.
KU, UK, Syracuse, Duke, KState as I see it.

If we win Wednesday?

UK, Syracuse, KU, Kstate, Duke

[kstater]

Nova going down virtually locks down a 2 seed.

[kstater]

I see Duke 1/KSU 2 in the East.
