kenpom 30, no tourney

[kso_FAN]

May be = maybe?

[SdK]

I've often wondered about that. I know not.

[sys]

what a group of bullshit.  as soon as a conference appears to have figured out the system, they change the system.

we're just a magnet for 28th.  these last five have me

the cats, for all practical purposes, eliminated isu in their midweek game.  technically, isu could still lose out or something, but it's time to let hope die for the 'clones.  the cows slipped further off the throne with a win over tcu, who is now experiencing kenpom rank issues.  tech joins kstate as the midweek's big winner, continuing their slow climb back towards kp30 with a nice mov over baylor.

cats and tech up, cows and tcu down, clones out.


1. tech 37th, 7-11.  just five games left, still a lot of ground to cover.
2. cats 28th, 8-10.  the cats would love to slip to 7-11, if they do, the crown is theirs.
3. cows 20th, 9-9.  not looking good, but a well-timed loss or two could still right the ship.
4. tcu 40th, 8-10.  last week's baylor debacle continues to haunt, it's a long way from 40 to kp30.
5. isu 26th, 10-8.  goodbye (prolly) 4eva, isu.

Stopping reading after 20st.

[sys]

sorry.  i copy and paste a lot for these.

[SdK]

Just making a silly. I actually read it all.

[sys]

if they can get to osu in the fOOD unscathed, for kp30nt and a host of other reasons, I better see some heroes in the full cow costumes at that game.

what a prophecy.

Self-fulfilling to an extent.

[Trim]

Also, our guy's only rocking the head.  Willie the Wildcat style, I guess.

I didn't realize how much of a joke kenpom was

[sys]

the cats move into first place following the weekend games, but it's more what other teams didn't do than what the cats did.  a loss to ut would have moved kstate into a very strong position.  they didn't get that loss.  the cows were presented with a similar opportunity against ou.  they did not take advantage.  tech, needing to rocket up the kenpoms, gave up nine points of mol in a second overtime and left themselves little better coming out of the weekend than they were going in.  tcu is all but mathematically eliminated from the regular season kp30.  they can, perhaps, hold out hope for a big 12 tourney assisted kp30nt.

cats and cows up, tech down, tcu out.

1. cats 28th, 8-10.  wednesday cats and cows, man.  it's big.
2. cows 20th, 9-9.  four loseable games remain, they need to lose three.
3. tech 36th, 7-11.  they need to outscore the projection by about 25 points over the remaining games.
4. tcu 42nd, 8-10.  goodbye (prolly) 4eva, tcu.

crap!  we dropped way more than i thought we would.  we're gonna have to watch our mols and movs in these last three.

[Tobias]

my word, did not think this would be the one to drop us off that ~28 spot

[star seed 7]

crap!  we dropped way more than i thought we would.  we're gonna have to watch our mols and movs in these last three.

You got too cocky

[Reggie Singlegur]

crap!  we dropped way more than i thought we would.  we're gonna have to watch our mols and movs in these last three.

I don't think we are going to have to worry about the movs going forward

[sys]

i did.   

[star seed 7]

This kenpom is a fickle beast

[Trim]

I told you we needed to stop moo'n towards the end.

think back to february 5th, the cats had just let a road loss slip through their fingers at baylor and the haters were crowing.  kstate needed to lose every big game through the end of february to give themselves a chance and with three of those games at home, kstate kp30nt fans were despairing.  take a moment to savor the moment, kp30nt enthusiasts.  what a run.  three games to go, so close yet so far.

among other teams, the cows were among the teams the cats have left by the wayside, and now teeter on the brink.  tech has let some movs turn into mols and some small mols turn into big mols and now finds itself on ground little firmer than where the cows stand.


1. cats 30th, 8-10.  try to lose two and risk slipping below 30th?  or aim for 2-1 with fingers crossed on selection sunday?  this is the essence of kp30nt.
2. tech 35th, 6-12.  only the surprising magnitude of kstate's kenpom move after the cows game provides hope.
3. cows 20th, 10-8.  the cows need to lose out.  and hope.

[Trim]

One game at a time, sys.

[sys]

i can taste it, trim.  that's how close we are.
