Title: The Hunt for Purple Wednesday
Post by: Trim on February 16, 2017, 01:45:00 PM
Lost in the wild excitement for kp30nt, is that the 'cats are again clawing for one of those 4 coveted "all eyes on us" slots on the Wednesday of the Big 12 Tournament.  As we know, even back when Wednesdays were accessible to 2/3 of the league, Frank was always unable to get us into those games with the specially-priced tickets for some of the best seats in the house.  Now, even in the era where just an exclusive 4 out of 10 teams qualify for the Wednesday session, KSU is amazingly once again back on track to earn such a bid.

Keep kp30nt at the forefront of you hopes and dreams, but save a little bit to root on the squad as they try to hold off TCU or the Cows from snatching what is ours.

It's masterful maneuvering by oscar really. Drop a couple regular season games so we can get that extra postseason game and enter the NCAA Tournament with full momentum.

May our benevolent schedulemakers bless us and keep us, and may they deliver us from evil (Thursday games).

if we could lose at ut, we'd have a shot.  anyone would have to agree with that.

Still wide open.  KSU's remaining games: OSU, @OU, @TCU, Tech.  Note the back-to-back road games in a conference season w/no back-to-back home games.

tcu has a tough remaining schedule, including ku and wvu.  probably the best we can hope for is a tie.  we have wins over baylor and wvu as our secondary tiebreakers, so they likely will need to beat us if we want a wed. slot.

we don't want wednesday, we need thursday.
wednesday gives us a chance at a win and a chance (however small) at momentum and at a run and more upsets.

give me a blowout loss on thursday on every day of the week and twice on sundays

you're focusing too much on results and not enough on process, pissclams.

Interesting take. I'm on board with this.

A L to TCU clinches a berth but leaves the door open for 7th and demonstrating the progress we've all witnessed this year, both in Ws and conference standings.

Could still get it done even w/a win at TCU but would take Tech winning out, including in the fOOD in the schemePAK game.

I won't be at all surprised to see lose out, but Tech could also be this year's 2012 Iowa.

After testy westy and greg, I'm excited by the prospects of what a lubed up kc contingent, shuttled safely by streetcar, could do in a wednesday scenario w/virtually free tickets to sit wherever you want.

Interest in all the happenings within the KStateMBB family is definitely UP, which is progress in itself.  Lock him up.

schemePAK pre-show.  Tech vs. State.  Loser takes all.  Like it was destined to be.

i'd like for us to end up in a three-way with tech and tcu, but i don't know how the three-way tie breaker goes.

i think in the three-way tie scenario it would be

6. tech (3-1 against tied teams)
7. tcu (2-2)
8. ksu (1-3)

Any way you slice that $30 pizza, tech in the fOOD is the big 12's biggest game of the year.
