You’ve heard the noise:
Gotta have it. Can’t come away with anything less than a ‘W’. Must-win.
Blah, blah, blah.
You know what? Forget all of that. How about playing together and playing hard for 40 minutes? Pretend there aren’t two NBA draft picks on the floor - well, let’s not get too carried away; they need to get the ball - and just play a team game where the sum is absolutely greater than the parts.
That’s what Kansas State needs to do today against Baylor.
Can it happen? I’m skeptical. The Wildcats have yet to win on the road this month, but then again, they usually bounce back after a loss. I’ll say this - a win today sets up the next two games much better than a loss would.
I’m also skeptical Baylor’s guards go for 75 against K-State - as they did against KU a few weeks back. I’d dare the Bears’ bigs to go nuts, and there’s no way they can match what Mike and Bill will provide.
But with the Wildcats, especially on the road, you never know.
PREDICTION: K-State 82, Baylor 78

Jmart- You are a bright young man and have a amazing future ahead of you. Great prediction… your prose jumps off the page like a young Hemingway. So…uh… did I win a chance to write in your column….Buddy?
I’m wondering if we might see more zone against Baylor than we did against Nebraska. Mixing it up would be nice.
Baylor’s guards play like no other team in the Big 12. And K-State is traveling to Baylor. Maybe with the right refs, K-State has a chance.
Or maybe their road woes will continue.
But you need to make sure the mature Bill Walker shows up today.
ksu wins. easily. this will be more like the savanah st. game than like oklahoma game.
I can’t give The cats the win today I will be watching and hoping but until they win on the road I’m not going to give them any credit that they haven’t earned. If they come out and dominate from the tip I will be very happy and this will be one instance that I would be glad to be wrong.
i was ready to game blog and your ass isn’t game bloggin.
bastard
Beasley is not messing around today he means business (28 pts). They look great in the first half, lets hope they can keep it up in the 2nd!!!! They had only a few defensive break downs and few more TO’s than I would like to see.
Let’s go cats!
score is WRONG!!!
No more predicting…PLEASE!!!
