This living on the bubble stuff is hard to get accustomed too.  It's much simpler to be very bad I think.

Yeah. Leave it to oscar to flip the NOS switch 3 feet from the finish line

This is a pretty perfect analogy, really.

I don't know.  I agree the resume is not a typical NCAA resume, but if I could sneak into the Tournament committee meeting I would scream "so what if K-State sucks against crappy teams, there's no chance they'll get matched up with one in the NCAA Tourney!"

Has anyone looked into K-State's record against prospective NCAA teams?  Wouldn't that be weird if we had a winning record amongst the teams that make it in?

We've played 11 teams in Lunardi's latest Bracketology and have beaten 7 of them.

Does your 11 include Texas Southern?  :facepalm:

Purdue, Arizona, Texas A&M, Texas So, Georgia, and the 6 Big 12 teams. Our record is 8-9 vs those teams.

It doesn't mean crap if they don't win their conference tournament.

Your first pitch, posted in response to a question of what our record is against likely tournament teams, leads the reader to think that record is 7-4.

Just curious for any HNCAATIQ ppl out there...has there been any instance in recent history where the committee took a team and it was like  :confused: and the only logical explanation was the committee liked their "on any given night they can beat (or get beaten by) pretty much anyone" wildcard appeal?

I was glancing at Nebraska's recipe to get into the tournament last year.

Nebraska was 19-12 (obviously this looks better than the 17-16 or 18-16 record we will put up if we want to have a prayer of getting in.  I think it is unanimous that K-State has to beat Texas and get at least one win in the NCAA tournament).

Nebraska had
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/year/2014/sort/RPI/groupId/7/teamId/158

4 losses to RPI 100+

4 wins   RPI  0-100

and was 11-7 in the Big 10.  lost first game of Big 10 tournament.

Strength of schedule was 32.
RPI was 49


K-State in 2015 has   
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/groupId/8/teamId/2306

8 wins RPI 1-100

5 losses  RPI 100+

SOS  of 17  and improving
RPI currently of 80 which isn't good enough right now.

If K-State beats Texas RPI (38) and the Big 12  3 seed,

we would have 10 RPI wins 1-100
and an RPI in the mid 50s.... I think.

The NCAA should be a possibility.  Some on the committee might get stuck on the quantity of our losses (like Palm) but we clearly had a tougher schedule than #11 seed Nebraska last year. We only would have 1 more bad loss even though we would have played 2 or 3 more games than Nebraska did last year.

The biggest positive for Nebraska was a 11-7 Big Ten Record (11-8 after tournament)
K-State in my proposed scenario would be 9-9  (10-10 after tournament).


I think that the Cats would be very interesting for the committee with two more wins. Not for sure in but very interesting.  Some people are very focused on quality wins. Some people are focused on conference results and how you played in February/March.

The most interesting resume got much more interesting after this week.

Some studly stats you have shown us. Cats have a shot its either us or texas. We have to beat them this weekend and then go further than them in the tourney amd we are in. Because as of now texas is on the bubble and if we just show the committee that we are better than texas then they have to let us in. Right?

One negative is that UT needs the win as bad as we do.  They're not going to lay down.

Not too worried about isu or ou in the big xii. It is what it is
