Title: So, how long does K-State last in the NCAA tourney??

Well . . . BTW, I picked opening round losers . . . this team has hit its glass ceiling.    Tired, can't finish, can't defend, one dimensional.

2nd round for sure, but after that it's a toss up

One of the nice things about having a decent season is knowing that your team is in . . . so this poll is completely appropriate.   I'll reset and redo after the selection show next Sunday.

You forgot another trend to all of that...no coaching..lack of experienced coaching..

Tired


FWIW this was the rap on Bob Huggins and his teams at UC.  He rode them too hard and when March rolled around they didn't have enough left in the tank.

Except that time they made the final 4.

That was his very first UC team he took to an NCAA tournament in 1992.  The rep was made well after that, he went to 13 straight tournaments after that and 0 final fours.  He only made 1 sweet 16 appearance with his last 9 tournament teams at UC.

Well, hopefully Frank learns a lesson and has a couple of grinder practices early in the week and then gives the guys a break with some lighter practices.

Yeah, I know, he won't change, and we'll have rubber legs when it matters the most.   Thus, we'll continue to miss all kinds of bunnies and struggle from 3 and lose . . .  :embarrassed:

Serious question (turn sarcasm meters off).  Has anyone spoken to players or heard of players saying they feel tired going into these last few games?  Or, is this just wild speculation/expert basketball watching analysis that says our team is tired?

After we drop to a 3/4 seed when we lose to Okie State in the conference tourney, I expect us to win an ugly squeaker against a terrible colonial league team in the first round and lose by double-digits in the second.

We've be rough ridin' terrible the last 3 games. At least we played defense against Mizzou. rough ridin' embarrassing.
