I can't count on much from Stokes outside of a few hilarious TO's. I can't picture is scoring enough to win.
When one person, for whatever reason, has a chance to lead an exceptional life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

The line just moved big time in K-State's direction.  Anyone have any clue why?

Moved big in our direction the day we played Baylor too!!

Seems like your gE insider already told you this....

Great offense, bad defense, fast pace.

Quote
Kansas State (PK) over Wake Forest: Kansas State is a team that I didn't think deserved a spot in the NCAA Tournament due to a very mediocre non-conference strength of schedule, conference W-L record, and RPI Top 50/100 records. That said, they are better than their resume, suffering from a little bit of bad luck in close games. Also, the Big 12 was just ridiculously strong, with no opportunities for easy victories. Both of these teams have mismatches, from Kansas State's pressure defense to Wake Forest's John Collins inside, but when all else fails I give the coaching advantage to oscar Weber. Criticize Weber's recruiting all you want, but he's one of the best game coaches that you'll find in Division I basketball.

Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

Also, people seem to be talking about how our defense has picked up lately and that's why we won 3 of our last 4.

Well, that's not really true.

We gave up 1.14 points per possession when we beat TCU.

We gave up 1.09 ppp when we beat Baylor.

We did play great defense against Tech (.75 ppp), but Tech wasn't very good either. Also, we played great defense against WVU (.86 ppp) but we lost.

Even going back to our other win lately, we gave up 1.07 ppp to a pretty bad Texas offense.

The key to winning those games was making shots. 53% from 3 at Texas. 43% from 3 at TCU. 43% from 3 against Baylor.

We need to play decent defense against Wake tonight, hopefully allowing no more than 1.08 ppp or so; but if we don't make shots and shoot 40% from 3 and over 55% eFG% it won't matter.

Maybe their servers are struggling to keep up with so many people betting on the Cats. I'll tell my friend to try again later.

If we can hold Wake to 1.08 PPP or under, I really like our chances (maybe even 1.10, with Wake D being as bad as I think it is)

Last 6 Conference games on road & 2 games in KC..  our team did allow 1.03 PPP (541 pts 527 Poss)

Ok, guys, what is a good PPP #?  I don't follow that crap and don't understand it all that well...

Is under 1.0 good, average, or bad?

NCAA average is 1.05 ppp, maybe some of this makes more sense knowing that.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but Wakes record looks awful against decent teams.

Like why were analysts saying we shouldn't have made it in, but WF did. ACC bias?

Many were saying they (Wake) didn't deserve to be in either.

2-11 vs KenPom top 50 (3-10 vs RPI top 50) isn't anything to brag about, no doubt.  They went 10-10 vs ACC teams. 6 of those wins came against 13th,14th,15th place teams. Also beat 11 seed once.

They were also 1-10 away from home vs Top 100 RPI in the Power 6 BB conferences.  So it's easy to see why they barely got in like us
