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.

So, about that help I was discussing....

Unranked UConn over #3 Villanova by 9 points with 5 minutes to go...

Haha, yeah. Either UK would be an interesting matchup in the tournament. I still believe that Kentucky is going to have a game down the stretch where their freshmen actually play like freshman, which could kill them come tournament time. Talent wise, they definitely beat us at the top, but if K-State could get them in foul trouble, I think the purple 'Cats would make it a game because of the depth. I'd be pretty happy to get deep enough to play a #1 in the tournament.

And #3 falls to an unranked.

Up next for #3* Villanova? Number 19/21 Pitt, followed by #5 Syracuse.

Up next for #4 Purdue? Number 9 Ohio State.

Up next for #5 Syracuse? Number 10 Georgetown, immediately followed by #3* Villanova.

We need to find a way to jump number #6 Duke.

The importance of getting a 2 seed over a 3 seed? HUGE!

Here's another one that I found a few years ago - only has games through the 2008 tourney.

As I see it -
2 easy wins - Nebraska, Iowa State
3 toss ups - @Oklahoma, @Texas Tech, Mizzou
1 sure loss - @Kansas

The 2 "easy wins" are crucial because if we lose them, we fall fast and fall hard in the seeding.

I'd love to go 2-1 out of the toss ups, but we have to hold serve at home vs Mizzou.

Then comes the Phillips 66 - we have the 2 seed now, and I think it stays that way. That is huge.

I think @OU and Mizzou are more likely wins (70/30), I'd put @TT at 60/40, and KU at 10/90.

Bring on the Fighting Docs. I'm sure we'll see a well disciplined team that plays plenty hard. ESPN360 seems to be acting up. Hope it gets better quickly.

Did they expand the rim for Nebraska to twice normal size? Through 15 minutes their shooting a ridiculous 72% (and still only up 6).
