Radio said oscar piped in THUNDERSTRUCK to practice to get the guys ready.  Any truth to that?

K-State Heads to Lawrence Saturday for 278th Sunflower Showdown

Saturday afternoon two of the three top ranked college basketball teams in the nation from the state of Kansas will be meeting up for a much anticipated match up.

The #25 Kansas State Wildcats will make the short drive down I-70 Saturday to Lawrence for the 278th Sunflower KSU BASKETBALLShowdown against the #18 Kansas Jayhawks. K-State has not won in Lawrence since 2006 and the last time the Wildcats won in Lawrence when both teams were ranked was 1958.

Shane Southwell, senior guard, said that a win Saturday would be crucial. “I never won there or even got close to winning there. I want to get a win there. It is going to be hard to look back on my life and say I did not get a win in that arena.”

To prepare his team for the atmosphere in Lawrence Saturday Head Coach oscar Weber had his team practice while loud crowd noises played in the background.

“The biggest thing is that you have to keep your poise, just try to play and just keep coming at them,” Weber said.

Thomas Gipson, junior forward, said that the extra sound during practice was something new to the team. “We didn’t do that last year, because coaches did not even know it was going to be that loud. Today (Thursday) we handled it pretty well. We were still focused and people were still communicating and trying to talk over the music and system. I feel like we did well.”

Saturday’s game tip’s off at 1:00 p.m. from Allen Fieldhouse.

2.26 PPM is ridic. How does that even happen?

2.26 PPP would be ridic, but 2.26 PPM is "only" 90 points over a game

[PowercatPat]

We are going to get raped.

[j-dub]

our only real chance imo, is that with so many freshman on both sides, neither team is aware of the strange voodoo they hold over us in afh. and ku plays a little sloppy and allow us to hang around ala 06. but make no mistake - they will beat the crap out of us.

[daBish7]

I pretty much know everything there is to know about KSU Basketball and there is no way in hell we are winning this game.

It's fun to think about tho...Like winning the lottery.

Maybe the Thunderstruck CD got a scratch on it and won't play?

Weird to see 'zacker _FANing and _FAN 'zackering

Yep, things feel a little different this time around. A change in the wind? I remember feeling this way walking into AFH on a crisp Saturday morning in January 2006. And every other basketball Dillons the last 20 years. Still, Cats by 6.

It's science!

If Gip can make it to the under 12 timeout with less than 2 PFs.....



Otherwise, expect Will to put up 19+, become a GPC legend, and then never come close to that mark the rest of the season.

Like, Self accidentally set his high ball glass of Diet pepsi and Stoli vanilla on it?

Last time the Basketcats won in AFH, KU was 10-4 with a bunch of talented freshmen and it was a Saturday afternoon in mid-January. :O

True.

But the Cats were coming off of one of the worst home league losses that I can remember. Definitely in the top 5 worst home league losses. It was brutal and nearly put me over the edge as others can attest.

For one game it would be fairly meh, but that's over six games meaning there were some games (presumably) much higher.

How did the coaches think it wasn't going to be that loud last year? good grief.

I think its all on the freshmen for both sides. They rely a lot on OGW and if he doesn't produce then KU will have a hard time making up for it. On the other side we also need OGF and Thomas to perform well in their first game against the beakers. Not sure how Wiggins will handle that either.

If we can come out of the locker room and actually score points early on in each half, or at least score around the same rate early on then we have a real chance of winning. We need to also limit any runs they go on, KU likes to do that to us.

I love sports stories before big away games where articles talk about blasting music and junk during practices. This is what it's all about dipshits. We'll prolly lose but whatev

It's crossed my mind on multiple occasions that oscar really didn't know what he was getting into at AFH last year...  I've always thought that he came in totally unprepared, almost as if it was no different than a roadie to Tech, etc.

Hopefully, we'll come in far better prepared to play a solid game.

We would definitely win this one if we still had Angel...

If it's looking bad for us, he needs to ubutton his damned jacket, throw the damned thing down, loosen his tie and cut loose.

I just don't think he has all that in him.
