Before I move on to how I see tonight unfolding, here’s my Pop’s take on the Kansas game:
Hi, PowerCat Nation. Just getting back home, really enjoyed the atmosphere at the game Saturday night. I thought K-State got some bad calls in the first two minutes of the game. The timeliness of the calls was the difference-maker. Sure, they called fouls against KU, but most of the calls against KU were when ths game was out of reach.The calls against K-State , specifically Beasley and Walker, set the tone for at least three quarters of the first half. The first three minutes of the second half were called the same as the first three minutes of the first half - no fouls were called against KU and the KU guards were allowed to wrestle the ball from K-State’s guards without penalty. I think K-State’s guards were partly responsible by not making themselves wide enough, which allowed KU ’s guards the opportunity to come over their shoulders and just wrestle the ball away. Also, the four position must be more consistent. His average would have kept the game in hand.
Solid analysis, but hey, I’m biased.
As for tonight, it’s Senior Night. K-State needs a win, and Richard Roby is kind of soft. I like the Wildcats BIG. I think a victory more or less sews up no less than the No. 4 seed in the Big 12 Tournament. This year, I think the four seed from the No. 2 conference in the country - according to RPI - yields a NCAA Tournament berth.
Thoughts?

B-Mart, you pretty much nailed it. I’m just sorry we were not able to personally show you a good time in Manhattan tonight. I have just named you an honorary KSU alum.
J-Mart, I think you inherited your journalistic talent from your Dad. His observations were spot on.
Your pops should have his own blog titled: Godsawesomegiftjmartsdad.
J-Mart…. solid site, I view daily. Could you break down the potential matchups in KC next week if we are the 3rd or 4th seed?
J-mart ….When is the next mama sayz?
When you say you like the Wildcats “BIG”…..are you talking like the Vegas 16 point line big? Like maybe I should bet my mortgage payment for the month on the Cats BIG? Or do you mean like I should just put a 20-spot on the game BIG?
B-Mart >> J-Mart >>>>>>>>>>>>>> lutz >>> fatlock ???
I hope if J-Mart ever leaves us for bigger and better things, we can get B-Mart to take his place!
sounds like the same reasons KU fans fave for losing at K-state. Refs, timing of the fouls, mauling guards…..
Did you actually think KSU was going to win in Lawrence? No freaking way.
