Kansas @ Kansas State

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Took me a little while to figure out who I wanted to win but it was definitely KSU. F*&^ Kansas and F^%$ their streak. Hope they lose the rest of their games.

Man... if ISU played Iowa home and away every year and only beat them every 4th year, that would suck.

Great night for ISU for helping tournament seeding. Michigan State loses to Illinois (also boosts ISU's win over them), Marquette loses at home to St. John's and KU loses to K-State. All three teams are currently ranked ahead of ISU and will also be in contention for a top 4 seed in the Midwest region (Des Moines).

I still don't understand all you KSU fans for this game. They are 1 game ahead of us. They already beat us at home. And if (they most likely will) beat us in Manhattan they will be 2 full games up on us. In which case we aren't catching them to win the league.


If we can't end the streak I just assume KU keep it going. I sure as hell don't want KSU or Baylor to end it.
KSU and Baylor still have to play each other twice. That'll work itself out.

KU's next 3 games should be easy-ish wins for them

Wigginton is playing much better, and won't miss those free throws. Plus, we won't sub in Jacobson at the end, so we'll have a center that will help with lane defense.

If KSU wins this game and beats us in Manhattan we aren't winning the league. Cause KSU isn't losing against the bottom teams.

Any league where a Bruce Weber team wins the conference loses all credibility.
I don’t get why you think KU winning would have been good.

If we lose at KSU, either outcome tonight likely requires help. Do you want to bank on that help coming from Weber or Self choking?

We control our destiny more with KSU winning tonight, as we can add a loss to KSU’s record. And KSU has more chances for losses in other games due to their schedule and Weber.

I understand that. But everyone is banking on us beating KSU in Manhattan. I don't think that happens.
