FINAL, KSU, 100-63
Props to William, who blogged nearly as much as I did during the game in the comments. Nice effort, guy. Did you submit an entry for “Forum Friday”? You might be a natural. Deacon gets two free throws for K-State’s 100th point. Mike Anderson burned a timeout with 1:09 left, down by 38, to get a seldom-used reserve in the game. Nice gesture, I guess. Doesn’t matter, but hey, it is what it is. Did I just quote Brian McNamee? Anyway, nice effort by the Wildcats. Impressive showing. Now it’s a pair on the road, and I don’t a split will do. Speaking of which, wow, what a finish in Waco… Aaron Bruce just pulled a Webber. He called a timeout with no timeouts left. I know, I know - this is a K-State blog.

I’m annoyed because I made the call to let Levi cover the game today. There is a winter storm advisory sweeping through the ‘Ta, and I decided since we have someone up there already, I’m not going to risk wrecking my car - or myself - to cover the game.
But I’ll still be in-game blogging, which should be interesting…
That said, I’m annoyed because I think Mike is going to go off. Every time I miss one of his games, he goes nuts. It’s bound to happen again. Not only that, but I think the Wildcats are going to run Missouri out of the gym. Now, some have jokingly wondered why I’m jinxing the Wildcats - I’m not. In the end, as I stated against Tech, if I have any doubt, I choose the team with more talent.
I like K-State today. I think this team always bounces back well from a loss - it helps Frank grab his players’ attention. I think K-State is still bothered by the game in Columbia, Jacob Pullen in particular, and I’m convinced the Wildcats put on a show at the Bram before embarking on a critical two-game road swing.
We’re officially at the point of the season where you’d better get your wins where you can. This qualifies.
PREDICTION: K-State 88, Missouri 73
