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.

Pretty obvious he was tired of all the Fredette hype.

The passive / aggressive ROY_run is trying to stay out in front of the story. He's in damage control mode and will be for the next 48 hours or so. But be careful or he'll take away his slingbox access.

I'm still high from last nights win. Not only that, but I had a chance to talk with Mr. K-State before the KSU game. I love that guy.

GO CATS!!!!

Neither team really impresses me. That said, I'd like to play the higher seeded Pitt and make our run to the Final Four "legit".

**mikeyis4dcats.** · 03-21-2010, 03:16 PM

I'd like to play Pitt I think. Xavier looks much improved than when we last met, and I've heard Pitt is like molasses.

Both these teams play a physical brand of ball, which KState should be very comfortable with. I like our matchup with either team, although at this point in the tourney anybody can beat anybody.

I'm worried about facing Pitt. Their big PG scares the crap out of me, I think he's got the potential to put Jake on the bench for extended lengths.

K-State knocks off BYU, named King of Kansas
Thomas Beisner

On any night, beating a top-20 team and keeping one of the nation's most prolific scorers relatively in check is cause for celebration. When it's in the NCAA tournament, it's becomes an even bigger deal. When it comes just a couple of hours after the consensus #1 team in the country, who just happens to be a rival and a squad that beat you three times this season, is knocked out at the hands of a no-name team from Cedar Falls, Iowa, it's the type of day the Kansas State Wildcats will likely never forget.

With BYU guard Jimmer Fredette and his rapping brother emerging as the sexy Saturday story and with Kansas and Villanova going down in the afternoon, Kansas State again appeared to be a secondary team of interest. Much as they were on a Thursday full of upsets, Frank Martin's team was again anonymous for the most part in the eyes of the nation.

Not anymore.

Thanks to Jacobham Pullen, his beard and a career-high 34 points, Kansas State sent a nationally televised message to the nation (they're for real) and their fellow Kansans (they run the state - for now) Saturday night. Throughout this season, the Wildcats' success has a pretty consistent trend to go as Pullen's shooting does. When he's off, they struggle. And when he's on like he was against the Cougars (7-12 on threes, 11-11 from the line), they're nearly impossible to beat. And Jacobham knows it.

"Sometimes people forget how good we are," Pullen said in a fake interview. "We think we can beat any team on any night, but we like to let our play do the talking for us. So far that has worked for us. Maybe we might have gotten more attention if I would have called out John Wall in the preseason like Sherron (Collins) did, but that's not my style. Plus, that's incredibly stupid."

In Oklahoma City Saturday night, the game of Pullen and his teammates spoke loudly as they beat BYU in every single statistical category, finding a potent offensive attack to match their stoutly physical defense. Denis Clemente, the fastest player in the tournament not playing in New Orleans Saturday night, put in 19 while Wally Judge added 8 points, 8 rebounds and dished out two testicle tattoos on the foreheads of BYU players.

Frank Martin and company will now move on to play the winner of third-seeded Pitt and sixth-seeded Xavier next weekend in Salt Lake City, where you could assume they won't receive a warm welcome. It probably won't bother the Wildcats too much, though. After all, they're already the kings of Kansas.

Dante84 · 03-21-2010, 04:29 PM

Pitt? Xavier? I'm not sure who to be rooting for.

Dante84 · 03-21-2010, 04:30 PM
