Good question. The tourney appearance and win got us some extended publicity that will be good for the program. Breaking that streak was bigger for the fans IMO.

[feralchat]

They were both big, but I'd say ku. It was the older streak and had to end.

[steve dave]

USC, first win in tourn. since when?  '88?  Pretty huge imo. 

[sys]

usc, don't be tards.

[jester66]

USC, and not even close.
A kid in D.C. could give a rats rump about a streak.  They want to know that the program and coach are making the tournament. Then, that elite talent goes to the next level.

[catzacker]

USC.  Got us way more exposure and a NCAA tournament win.

[ksdb]

Don't forget how highly ku was ranked when we beat them ... and if the unmentionable happens, we can claim a good bragging point.

[feralchat]

"Beasley and Walker are gone but the streak remains."
That's a post you'll never have to read. ku, and it's not even close.

[catzacker]

Morons.  What is more important?  An NCAA tourney win or a win against ku?  Answer: A tourney win, especially one that was prime time.  Who gives a sh*t about ku?  Seriously...we're now, what?, 1-24 against them at home...yippie. 

[ksdb]

We won our last tourney game in 1988?? Look how much that helped our program.

Wooly beat ku in the '05-06 season....thank god, helped the program out a ton.

USC hands down

We're not better off now than we were before then??

We are because we won a tourney game

Stop that.

It didn't do anything for Wooly.  

An NCAA tourney appearance and win, with a first year coach, will go further with recruits and for the program than a regular season win against ku.  It's not that the ku win wasn't big, the USC win was just bigger.  

[Bullfn33]

Short term: ku
Long term: USC

Didn't he get an extra year on his contract that he probably wouldn't have got ... partly because of that win??

It might or might not. Beating the No. 2 team in the country, especially if they end up in the Final 4 gives us a recruiting point, plus pictures like this are pretty damn cool:

Stop that.

i'm getting bored with it too.  i'll see if i can find something new.

Thanks.

[ECN]

ku win was bigger.

[KSt8er]

Just food for thought, but we are going to get a lot of pub if ku continues in the tourney because of our win over them.   We'll get more mention from that than we will our first round win.  

 I know some like to imagine that our beating USC now has hundreds of america's youth working their little butts off to become Wildcats but the reality is this season matters to us fans more than anyone/anything and getting THAT monkey off our backs is huge.  One tard vote here.

I bet you can come up with something that makes MJ even "madder".  

[Skydog]

In response to the origional question.

I hate ku.

I dont hate USC.

Therefore, the ku win was bigger to me.

No, Wooly got an extra year cause he was boys with Wefald.  Weiser wanted him gone.  Wooly was fired because he couldn't even get to the NIT, let alone the NCAA.  

Winning a game in the Tourney > any ku win.  We got talked about more by ESPN and CBS and got to more people/recruits because of that USC win than the ku win.  

[steve dave]

Alternate food for thought:  We have and will beat ku with crapty teams from time to time (see in Lawrence).  It may or may not mean anything when we do it next.  We never have and probably never will win an NCAA Tourney game with a crapty team.  It will mean something every time we win one. 

[fatty fat fat]

ku, because it ended the streak. gained fans. showed we can beat ku, even with their best team in their history. we also kind of kicked their ass.

USC was also huge.

My bad about Woolly, although if he had won against ku at home, maybe he doesn't get fired.

For a couple of days ... the ku victory got great coverage too ... and it helped us get into the tourney in the first place.

if it was just some random ncaa first round game against team x, the kuwinners might have an argument.  but it wasn't, it was walker/beasley over mayo.  every recruit in the country knows those names, and cares about them.  even those that have never heard of, or care about, ksu, usc or ku.
