Elite 8! KSU vs Butler

Well, after watching what was perhaps one of the greatest NCAA tournament games EVER, I am glad I have a day off from it -- probably not gonna watch games 2nite.

Tomorrow... 3:30pm... CBS... IT'S BACK ON!

Butler has won 23 straight games and just beat a damn good Syracuse team. With that, I sure am glad K-State is playing Butler and not Syracuse (and their good zone defense).

I have a good feeling on this game (don't know why, but I do). It's going to be a full house full of friends and family and downing Blue Moon.

K-State 69
Butler 61

Sweet 16!! K-State vs Xavier

Yeah, KSU played Xavier back in December at the OOD, but this might be a dangerous thing. If the Cats have it in their minds that since they beat them already, it'll be a cakewalk come Thursday, they're gonna be in trouble.

A huge positive for the Cats is the emergence of players other than Pullen and Clemente (although those two were huge in the first two games). Inside, Curtis Kelly has been outstanding, as well as Wally Judge.

K-State 81
Xavier 71

And another prediction, KU fans are gonna be hurting even more whilst the Cats go deeper and deeper in the tournament.

Looking back @ OSU (and ahead to Baylor)

Didn't see that coming (OSU game). K-State put together their BEST game of the year. And like I have preached for months, Samuels and Sutton FINALLY were agressive and it paid off dearly for the Cats. Samuels had his career high last night.

Pullen was hot and Clemente added his; and Kelly played quite well too.

Now it's on to Baylor tonight. This SHOULD be a great game. Like every K-State fan is thinking today -- if they play tonight like they did last night, they'll come out on top.

I see it:

Baylor 79
Kansas State 87

*Look for me behind one of the baskets -- I'm gonna be in the second row.

Well shit

Guess I was WAY OFF on what was to happen in Manhattan last Saturday night. A loss to ISU?! WTF?

Talk about NO momentum going into the tournament (plus having played poorly the last few games -- since the TT game).

Thursday might be bad for the Cats if they face OSU (like they will).

ISU @ KSU

Ummm, senior night. Last game in Bramlage for Clemente, Colon and Merriweather (sp). Coming off of a bad loss to KU.

K-State wins BIG in this one to get ready for the Big XII Tournament (which I will be at on Thursday and Friday).

ISU 65
KSU 87

KSU @ KU

Well, this is going to be interesting. #5 KSU @ #2 KU in Allen Fieldhouse. And yeah, not on ESPN -- what the flink?!

Senior night for KU; Sherron Collins' last game in Allen (as well as Cole Aldrich); they haven't lost at home for 60+ games; it's for the outright Big XII title.

I'd like to think KSU has a chance, & I suppose they do b/c this is the best K-State team since 1988 and KU's team isn't as good as past years.

But I have to go with the odds on this one.

KU 83
KSU 71
