I couldn't cheer for a K-State loss, but I don't know what to think. It is what it is, and an absolutely oscar thing to do.

Some advice? This team is in the tourney, enjoy it and look forward to another year.

Probably correct. Now I look forward to that and my new username I guess.

Despite what the gE trolls insist on, oscar is not absolutely safe with simply a tournament appearance.

I'm not trolling, I would be shocked if he makes the tournament and gets canned.

i knew it wasn't for real this time.

I can't do it. I can never be fully FWN I guess.

No you're fine and definitely in the majority. You can want the coach fired and still cheer for your team. I watched NCSU boo the hell out of Gottfried but then cheer for their team. Those other people are the freaks _FWN, not you.

Despite what the gE trolls insist on, oscar is not absolutely safe with simply a tournament appearance.

i dunno how much chingon is trolling and how much he believes, but there's no way weber is fired if we make the tournament.
Thank god they expanded to 68 or not, however you want to look at it.

If he thinks a 3 point win against the worst team secures Weber's job, he's either trolling or stupid, and of course he isn't stupid.

Thanks MIR. I know I can be a ridiculous roller coaster of a fan though.

maybe he's accounting for the projections that kstate will likely win a couple more.
"experienced commanders will simply be smeared and will actually go to the meat."

Based on expectations established when he was brought back last year. A tourney two years after an AD-approved house cleaning? Come on.

That's not what he posted. Is this pit logic?

Also, thank you to DJamer for bailing out oscar after the TO.

This win guarantees a better record than last season and a clear sign of improvement over last year.  The streak of getting worse each season is over.  The streak of not winning road games is over.  All along I have maintained that is all oscar had to do to keep his job this season (I admit my belief might be wrong, but I firmly believe it).  An NCAA tournament appearance just makes it all the more secure for the next three years.

1) We hit the 50-40-80 threshold.  Anytime we made 50% 2pt 40% 3pt and 80% FT, we had better win. It was 54-53-83 today.  Making our FTs today was HUGE.

2) both teams crazy hot, then crazy not.
Cats shot 93.4% first 23 min. 27.5% rest of game
Texas 76.2% first 18 min. 37.5% rest of game.

1.  hardly any coaches ever get fired after going to the tournament.
2.  kstate would be bringing back a lot of young players.
3.  you decline to fire a coach in 5-13 year x, giving up a chance to hire an alumnus coach that virtually your entire fanbase wanted and then fire him in year x+1 when he justifies your faith by improving to 8-10 or 9-9?  you may as well lynch yourself rather than wait for your new coach to falter for even a game or two.

not in order.

Based on expectations established when he was brought back last year. A tourney two years after an AD-approved house cleaning? Come on.

Let's agree to argue about "AD-approved house cleaning." Okay now that's out of the way, no matter whether we make the tournament or not the story of this season has been told. We are returning nice pieces but we're losing our two best players. The fans are either losing faith or have lost faith. The coach is making absurd excuses nearly every time he has a mic in his face. Next year is another season of uncertainty. The media are even circling above looking for a corpse.

All signs point to oscar being is very real trouble right now, getting in with a 11 seed then losing by 9 on a Thursday afternoon in Spokane doesn't change any of this.

I can't disagree with any of this.

Especially considering the hire-able options right now.

If Currie has a great belief that he can hire someone that will more than likely be better, go for it, but that becomes much tougher when you are talking about a guy going to his third tournament in 5 years. (inherited roster or not)

Many, like myself, love KState basketball too weirdly.  When we don't win we have childish tantrums. Scream if we don't get our ice cream.  We lash out Weber just because... it is good to get a cone.
