Baylor?

[uwcatfan]

Is it wrong of me to expect to win?  I mean, I just don't see any circumstance in which Scott Drew pulls it out in the OOD, and yet, and yet, it's like I'm still so scarred from Tan Tom and Wooly that I can't believe we're a consistently top 25 program who wins these type of game regularly.

oh, kstate will eff them all right.

[kso_FAN]

It will be a fun game. Baylor is playing the best defense they've ever played under Drew. They've really only had one road win of signficance since Drew has been there, winning at Texas in 2010, so beating us in Manhattan would be a pretty big deal for them. Plus they were one of Frank's traditional shake your head home losses in 09.

we're not winning this one. 

[Rage Against the McKee]

We are going to crush them.

[CNS]

Going to be one where they look much more awesome in their dunkshooting of the basketball, but we Doc Sadler it out.

Baylor is Mizzou part 2. We'll crush them in the OOD, but they'll crush us at their place.

Yeah, the fat kid in the green speedo will have nothing overly exciting to dance about.

[OK_Cat]

i'm also messed up from Wooly, so i fully expect to lose this game. 

[kitten_mittons]

It's Baylor.  We win.  Just like football, clap clap clapclapclap.

Agreed.  Was also running over the odds of going undefeated at the OOD in confy play after Sunvold mentioned it Saturday.  Seem pretty doable, yet we've never done it before, and the stumbling blocks (as you mentioned) have often been inferior teams in the FM era. Maybe this is the year.

It's very early to start thinking about an undefeated home season. History suggests it will not happen, especially when you add in an extra confy home game this year.

Home records vs current B12 teams under FM:

Baylor   1-1
ISU      3-1
KU       2-2
MU      5-0
OU      1-1
OSU    1-1
aTm    2-0
UT      1-1
TTU     2-0

Total   18-7 (72%)

Kenpom gives KSU a 9.95% chance of going undefeated at home in the remaining 8 games
If we beat Baylor Tuesday, the odds jump up to around 16.5%

Thanks for the breakdown.  True that it's very early to look ahead, and I might still be riding the crest of Saturday's game.  Still,  I'm going to be feeling very good about this team if we can get it done Tuesday.

Would take a win over Bails.  Would take.

Heslip and Jackson are probably the key to the game. Tay Tay and the Doc (and whoever else guards Jackson and Heslip) are going to have to do well.

Never gets old.
