-Jerry Palm has K-State in....but very important game Sat. Where do you think KSU is at? Step back a little, and K-State is in very good shape. They need to go 9-9 and that'll probably do it. They are 1-3 in last four though so need to get back going. But, given their youth and injuries, they are in good shape.
-TX very good team. If they lose, not a disaster. If they lose to KU, not a disaster. At that point, would just have to pick off a couple of road games. What's scary is that when losses start piling up, you worry about mental aspect of young team.
-First game at TX...how did they stay so close? K-State is a good defensive team. So, many of the things TX does offensively, K-State defends well. TX not good 3-point shooting team, but their guards can get to rim. Just did a pretty good job defensively....and spread TX out defensively and scored pretty well. If you control Ridley (sp?), K-State matches up very well with TX. Very even teams.
-What is key to win? MF has to play well. Can score in different ways. Only 8 in first meeting.....needs to score 20. When all said and done, K-State is the home team and has become a very good home team. K-State has taken care of business at home in Big 12 play under Weber. K-State needs to continue and think they will. Crowd needs to be great.
-Whole week to get focused.....a good showing at home will be good enough to beat a great TX team at home.
