if you read the computer projection thread, KSU winning tonight significantly increases our chances of winning the b12.
Kansas @ Kansas State

- Start date
I don't believe we need a computer to tell us that.
I'm guessing Weber will want Wade at 4 as much as possible to allow the offense to run through him, which means Mawien is on the court. But Mac has a bad fouling habit that Lawson will take advantage of tonight. That will force Diarra minutes with small-ball matchups. Don't forget McGuirl. He has shown the ability to really go-off in big games.
Mawien is positioned to have a big night as well because Ku could have matchup problems. He's just very inconsistent on offense.

If KSU wins ISU controls their own destiny by the simple fact they get to play KSU, and Baylor and Tech for that matter.
If KU wins that means they have beaten KSU on the road, they also beat Baylor on the road.
They will go undefeated at home, and at minimum probably finish 13-5. And I think they actually get to 14-4 if they win tonight.
Given ISU does not play KU anymore it would need to depend on other teams to beat Kansas and that is not a good situation to be in.
Strange things happen in the Big 12 late in conference season involving Kansas, so never a good idea to leave it up "cough" "cough" " to fate"
Go purple Kansas!

Kansas was really dependent on the 3 in their win against TT. Kansas really hasn't been a good three point shooting team this year. I think that explains their road woes this year.
K-State clamps down and wins 70-67

Kansas has been bad on the road. Here is to hoping that continues
KU hasn't played a junk defense all year - why would they break one out against one of the worst offenses in the country ?
McGuirl has 18 points against the worst team in the conference.
His next game high is 9.
What is the definition of going off in big games?
He had a big game in the tourney last year, just one game though, not sure its a trend
Yeah, it's almost like trying to decide which is worse, KU's road play or KSU's natural tendency to wet themselves at the sight of the Jayhawks.
I think the former wins out, and the Purple Kitties win, 68-61
Rooting for KSU tonight, they've got a ginder for their next 4-5 games, so I would expect them to drop 1 or 2 in that stretch.
Seems really odd to me that we've played 10 games, and four other teams have only played 8. Maybe that is more normal than I'm thinking, but it just seems weird (I know they'll catch up a game on us next week).

"There's a cold going around, let me get you some Nyquil".
Guessing instate rivalry game and recent past games are part of the equation.
I think there will be a lot of up and down the court with a lot of bad shots taken.
