20 Pts 33 Possessions
23 Pts 34 Possessions

16 seed or not...just incredible to hold a team to under .70 for both halves.

this was the worst offensive performance in a KSU win in the kenpom era

We had 0 pts the first 11 Possessions
Got 25 pts the next 18
Only scored 13 the next 27 Poss.
Got 12 pts the final 10. 

Wasn't anything pretty about our offense tonight.

Sneed 6 pts down the stretch
Barry 8-8 FTs
Maiwen block on Lyles when a layup cuts it to 44-43 with 90 seconds.
Fun stuff. But Nerve racking as heck

Wade has to play against Kentucky and it can’t be like Kam’s return to the lineup. Sneed needs to make at least 4 3’s, like 4 for 8.  Poor shooting from 3 will make this game hard to watch.

Yeah, avoiding 1-13 3 pt shooting kinda would help no matter who we played.

If Dean plays, Cal is just going to Mortal Kombat leg sweep him til his foot falls off, right? Iirc the move I'm referring to is ??+kick, Liu Kang was probably the best at it.

K state dropped a spot in the kp after today

second lowest surviving kenpom.   :eye:

Thanks Sister Jean

Actually, thanks to Jim.

Loyola Chicago, and their 1-1 pre tournament record against the top 100 has a better kenpom. :ROFL: at anyone who thinks using any one metric to determine anything important is a good idea.

Yeah, I'm as big a kenpom guy as anyone, but there has been some weird stuff there this year. And I agree that for NCAA purposes no single metric should get all the weight.

Here's the deal: people love to order things and you can't order things without reducing something down to a single number.

I bet our odds increase to 3% once we beat Kentucky! :woot:
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

That's probably why he has the #1 bracket. Obvious cheating.

Nevada 20 pts 11 Possessions. 20-8 lead
Nevada 4 Pts 23 Possessions. Trail 28-24.
What a turnaround.

Michigan up 44-18 lead.
81% eFG.  1 TO.

6 pts in 28 Possessions.
Poor Offense/Good D for long time

They finally shook it off. 10 pts last 5 Possessions now. Loyola is 8-8 FG in 2nd half so lead is still 8.

Don't understand why Nevada decided to play D with 36.1 and fresh 30 on shot clock (down 1). They only had 4 fouls.

Even if Loyola makes a 2 with under 10 seconds, Nevada is down 3. Loyola could foul, and after the FTs, Nevada would have to foul 3 times to put Loyola at the line

Too risky IMO

So our road to the final four would be an 8,16,5,11.  Feels like the stars are aligning.
