1. How do you know 21 wins 99.8% sure gets us in?
2. We beat Baylor at home last year.

I've been a fan long enough to say lets just win against Tech, then worry about the rest of the season. There is a lot of talk here assuming we win, I just don't think any team in the Big 12 is good enough to take anyone else for granted. Win tomorrow, then we can talk about the rest of the year.

Well clones21 since you have declared us dead 50 times and said we are not making the tourny. None of the games are Important anymore so we might as well lose them right? You have thrown thos team under the bus so many times that none should be big any longer. Right?
You know nothing.

not so fast my friend. not including the standing this game is still huge. a win on the road against ksu would be win over a top 50 RPI team (potentially top 25), it would boost team confidence and get us one more win beyond 20 (assuming ttech doesn't shock us).

so, big 12 notwithstanding, it is a huge game for us.

Every game is a huge game for us. I was asking why Kansas State is so much bigger for us than @Mizzou is or vs. Baylor is.

1. If you have 21 wins and 11 conference wins in the Big 12 and don't get in....then there is something wrong.

2. Baylor is much better than last year. We are too, but look what they did to us @Baylor.

1. RPI and wins vs top 25 could hurt us. There are teams that have won 21 games and not gotten in.
2. Doesn't matter what happened at Baylor, look at the Texas, KU, games for example, we protected our home floor.

The Big 12 is in the top 3 as best basketball conferences go. The committe won't leave us out if we have 21 wins.

I started a similar thread right after our loss to Baylor. I have thought K-State was our biggest game since that Monday loss. Even after watching Texas almost beat Baylor last night I still feel like Baylor is the hardest game left/game we have least chance of winning. In addition, we are jockeying for position in the conference and battling for tourney seeding with K-State. Epic Game. Not make or break obviously, but the most important conference game left in my mind.

If we win out, we got to be on the bubble.
No wait, wrong website.

You do know that within the last 5 years Virginia Tech has won 21, 22, and 25 games and been left out, even with a decent ACC conference record?

I know we have TTU tomorrow, but I think my local high school team could beat TTU. Anyways....


With K-State beating Mizzou it makes our game with them BIG. I know alot of people were aiming in on the Baylor @ home game for the biggest game yet, but I think the K-State game is now. K-State has a GREAT chance at winning out IF they beat us. We need to take care of business down there. I know standings don't matter when it comes to Tourney talk, but the game will be freaking huge for us. Need our A game on.
WELL IF BY A BIG GAME YOU MEAN IT'S A GAME AND IT IS ALSO BIG, THEN YES I AGREE THAT IT WILL IN FACT BE A GAME. IT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE BIG AS WELL. I THINK THAT THE CHIPS WILL FALL LIKE THIS BECAUSE BOTH TEAMS WANT TO WIN REALLY BADLY BECAUSE WINNING WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER RESULT THAN LOSING. AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON LOSING IS NOT VERY GOOD, SO BOTH BALLCLUBS SHOULD BE VERY MOTIVATED AND WILL HOPEFULLY TRY THEIR VERY BEST. AS USUAL I HAVE FAITH IN THE CLONES DUE TO THEIR INCREDIBLE TEAM CHEMISTRY AND OUR 3 POINT ASSASSINS ARE UNSTOPPABLE. I WILL ADMIT TO WETTIN MY WHISTLE WITH SOME KOOL-AID NOW AND THEN BUT I THINK MY PREDICTION IS PRETTY JUSTIFIED HERE
CLONES- 72 KSTATE- 65
