Let us never again speak of the ugliness that ensued in Austin last night. That was one of the most pathetic performances by a one-time Top 10 team that I have seen ever.
Give KU its props, though. This team just continues to find ways to completely suck the life out of road crowds. And if our current four-game road winning streak is any indication, Frank Martin's team quickly is learning to do the same.

Cats Earn Highest AP Ranking Since 1973
Kansas State earned its highest ranking in the Associated Press poll in more than 35 years on Monday, when the Wildcats jumped one spot to No. 9 in the poll.
A win against Colorado (11-12, 2-7 Big 12) on Saturday at Bramlage Coliseum would give the team at least 20 wins for the fourth consecutive season, which would be a first in school history, while it would make Frank Martin the first head coach to post 20 wins in each of his first three seasons.
SB Nation Bracketology: K-State a 3
Chris is doing a tremendous job with SB Nation's bracketology. His latest projection has K-State as a three-seed in the Oklahoma City pod, matching up with Pacific. A possible second-round rematch with UNLV would await, as the Runnin' Rebels would match up with Illinois.
Here's guessing Texas will be quickly sliding off that three line.

OPEN GAME THREAD: Big Monday

In the interests of having at least some new content today, I thought I'd throw up a discussion thread for tonight's Big Monday games, which involve three Top 5 teams.
At 6 p.m., you can catch No. 4 Villanova in its second super-tough road game in three days, when the Wildcats descend into Morgantown to brave the wrath of Bob Huggins, the coin-throwing of West Virginia fans and, of course, the No. 5 Mountaineers.
Whenever that game ends — which will be approximately 8:45 p.m., considering how much Huggins' teams usually foul — No. 1 Kansas will enter "The Drum" to face suddenly reeling No. 14 Texas in Austin. This is the last chance for the Longhorns to salvage anything meaningful in the regular season, I think.
Both games can be found on ESPN. I'll be here tonight if anyone wants to pop in and comment on either game or just make fun of the Jayhawks.

Clemente Named Big 12 Player of the Week
Denis Clemente and Tommy Mason-Griffin were selected as the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player and Rookie of the Week for games of Feb. 1-7 in voting by a panel of media covering the conference.
Clemente garnered his second career honor, while Mason-Griffin was chosen top rookie for the second straight week.
One UT 2010 Football Preview Calls KSU "Easy Win"
Perhaps they have a short term memory in Austin? They are 0-2 in the past two meetings and we are the only Big 12 team with a winning record against them since the start of the league.

BIG 12 OUTLOOK: 02.08.10

Man, if K-State and Colorado could've just closed it out in overtime, KU would be sitting there at 6-2 and this conference race really would be insane.
As it is, though, we'll just have to settle for mostly insane. K-State is looking more and more like the second-best team in the Big 12, but the surging Aggies had a resume-building week to remember and still get KU at home. I've never been more thankful to hold a head-to-head tiebreaker than the one we have over Texas A&M.
Meanwhile, Texas' slide continued and things truly will get ugly if the Longhorns can't find a way to flip the script and knock off a No. 1 themselves. Even with a win on Big Monday, Rick Barnes' team finds itself in a battle with Baylor and Missouri for the final bye. Luckily for Texas, it still has an opportunity to grab road wins in Columbia and Waco, and end that battle emphatically. But the Horns better learn to shoot free throws first...
Oklahoma continues to hang around by defending its home court very well. If the Sooners ever could figure out how to win on the road, they might be able to make a run into the upper half. Even 8-8 now looks attainable. But nothing short of a Big 12 Tournament championship will get them into the NCAA Tournament.
Conversely, Oklahoma State looks more and more like an NIT team. The computer numbers remain gaudy, just like last season, but where are the quality wins? Other than the one we handed to them, there aren't any. Without James Anderson, the Cowboys would be very, very average.
Kudos to Texas Tech for getting some revenge for the Big 12 season-opening loss in Stillwater, but the Red Raiders better enjoy it while they can. There aren't many wins left on the schedule.
And I have nothing to say about the Northtards, except that it sure is nice to get to play them all twice — especially when it doesn't affect our tourney profile at all.

Almost half our opponents played each other Saturday. Those games basically were a wash for our RPI, but for perception's sake, it was important that certain teams beat others and keep themselves in the NCAA Tournament discussion. In all cases, I think the matchups worked in our favor:
- Cleveland State 59, Loyola 56
- Dayton 90, Xavier 65 (Xavier previously beat Dayton, which faced a must-win situation at home to stay on the bubble)
- IUPUI 70, Western Illinois 42
- Kansas 75, Nebraska 64
- Missouri 84, Colorado 66
- Oklahoma 80, Texas 71
- Ole Miss 74, Alabama 67
- Texas A&M 78, Baylor 71
- Texas Tech 81, Oklahoma State 74
But it also was a costly weekend — Alabama, IUPUI and Washington State all fell below the 100 threshold in the RPI.
Now it's double or nothing for K-State — all of our RPI Top 100 wins also are RPI Top 50 wins.
