If KSU wins its a chance that they start proving that their bad breaks are behind them and that they belong and that the game in ames wasn't a fluke.
But that doesn't mean they prove that ISU doesn't belong.
If Isu wins I think KSU is cooked and in that sense it would show that KSU doesn't belong.

This would be his third consecutive season of missing the tournament and 5th in the last 8 seasons.
I doubt it too, BUT I've personally been using it as a coping mechanism in that last night's game punched out ticket no matter what, even if we are tossed into the First Four.
ISU seems to be comfortably out of the play-in range. They are an 8 seed on bracketmatrix.com so it seems that the vast majority of bracket creators see them as easily in the field.
That would suggest that K-State wins at Texas and versus TxT were flukes? Please.
K-State is a good basketball team that's had some nightmarish happenstances over the year. Beating ISU would say the Cats are the better head-to-head team but not yet worthy of a tournament bid like the Cyclones, who, I agree, should now be in the field.
The game itself was flukey. Sort of how ISU's win last night was. Choking / crumbling/ etc.
That was a great game last night against the last-placed 'eers in your gym with an incredible performance by your star pulling it out in the end. ISU will have lots of mojo coming down to Manhattan.
Here I usually go to bat for you and you come right back and make me look bad by talking smack. Let Surly have it folks.

Maybe a little clearer on the sarcasm. Don't you think? Basically inferring it took our best effort against the last place team. Not a good look on our site.
I thought ISU made a great effort to pull that one out in the end, yes. I also thought it was a win necessary to secure an NCAA bid, also yes.
You thought we had to win that game? I think it’s possible that losing that game would mean we might need two more. But it was not a win or go home game.
To be fair, we get a little pissy too when our team doesn't make the NCAA tournament
