being as how we've arrived at the midpoint of the season, a lot of kstate fans have been asking for a summary of how things are looking for the cats chances to stay under .500. well, here it is:
the cats are mired a game over .500 with 9 regular season conference games to go. if they finish 3-6 or better, we all but guarantee ourselves a sub .500 finish barring a catastrophe in kansas city. if we finish 4-5, we'd have to lose the first post-season game to hit our mark. anything worse than 4-5 and we'll have given ourselves no chance.
"no problem, all we have to do is match our first half of the season performance", you might be thinking. well think again. the basketball raters are rating our second half schedule as even tougher than the meat cleaver we ran through in the first nine games, meaning we need to be a little more determined, a little more focused, and it'd be helpful if the ball bounced off the rim a few more times.
so, make no mistake, tonight's game is a big game. tcu might just be tcu, but it's a road game and we've got to make a habit of losing those.
