Three K-State opponents fell short in their conference tournament's final game — Boston U., UNLV and Xavier.
The latter two probably will make it in as at-large teams, but the former is out of luck. Life's tough in the one-bid leagues and, unfortunately for the Terriers, the Vermont program appears to be back.
But how's this for a silver lining? The Golden Lions are dancing!
That's right — the sad little SWAC team that started its season 0-11, had never made a conference final and never has been to the NCAA Tournament (hell, UAPB only became Division I a few years ago) now likely will appear in the play-in game at Dayton on Tuesday.
So at least someone was happy last night...

BIG 12 TOURNAMENT OUTLOOK: 03.13.10 (Open Game Thread)

After a long and historic season, it all comes down to this: 40 minutes of basketball separating K-State from its first Big 12 men's basketball championship ever.
I'm so damn tired of losing to these guys. I sat through their victory in the final game two seasons ago, and that was insufferable enough. Words cannot describe how horrific it will feel to hear that bloody chant echoing off the Sprint Center rafters if we drop a sixth straight game to the University of Kansas.
So let's win instead. Losing is easy, and it won't cost us a thing. But winning takes guts, and those have been on display aplenty this week. Winning means something — it sends a message and it sets a tone for next year.
And most important, winning temporarily will silence one of the most vocal fan bases in all of March Madness. How sweet would that be?
Sagarin's prediction: No. 1 Kansas 86, No. 2 Kansas State 80 (5 p.m., ESPN)
Aw, go to hell, Sagarin.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been thinking about today's championship game, and I can't help but draw parallels between today and December 6, 2003. On that night, I was in Kansas City, Mo., to watch K-State play for a conference title against what many considered an unstoppable juggernaut. To quote my friend's sign from that evening: "I believe!"
See you at Sprint Center tonight.
Go Cats!

Dayton and Ole Miss both lost Friday in their respective conference tournaments, so they both can say "Hello" to the NIT. Guess Puerto Rico didn't do much for our resume after all.
Meanwhile, UNLV and Xavier both grabbed big wins to advance in their tourneys — UNLV to the final against San Diego State and Xavier to the semifinals against Richmond. SDSU did us a huge favor by beating New Mexico, which, when coupled with the win against Baylor, virtually locked us into a No. 2 seed in Oklahoma City.
Alabama, like Ole Miss, lost in the quarterfinals, but the Crimson Tide gave Kentucky everything it wanted to before falling in defeat, which should get 'Bama into the NIT. And Alabama's in-state counterpart, Alabama State, lost in the SWAC Tournament, guaranteeing a .500 record for BOTC fan favorite Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Of course, absolutely none of this matters if Frank Martin wins the biggest game of his career tonight. That would produce a championship, an automatic bid, a potential No. 1 seed (if Duke loses today to Miami) and purple frenzy in the Power & Light District. Please, God...

Two games. Four ranked teams. One crappy TV network.
Let the Big 12 Final Four begin.
My dream is a 50-50 Sprint Center tomorrow — half blue Hawk and half purple Cat.
Yeah, it probably will be closer to 70-30, but a guy can dream, can't he?
Of course, we both have to survive pesky Texas teams first, so don't count your Jayhawks before they're hatched and don't look a gift Wildcat in the mouth.

The Big 12 Tournament proceeded in fairly pedestrian fashion, compared to the double-bye upset madness in the Big East.
Thus, all four top seeds will face off today in two match-ups of ranked teams that only will be on the Big 12 Network.
Have I mentioned that this conference's TV package sucks?
Meanwhile, the third time was the charm for UNLV, which finally beat Utah this season to proceed to the next round of the Mountain West Tournament.
Also, Alabama beat South Carolina for the second straight time to advance to a match-up today with No. 2 Kentucky.
Roll Tide!

Stop the presses! Arkansas-Pine Bluff got to .500!
That's about the only happy news today.
Washington State hit a new low by losing to Oregon (a team with a lame-duck coach — pardon the pun) again, while Missouri probably cost itself a Sweet Sixteen appearance by losing to Nebraska and falling to an 8 or a 9 seed — which means a date with a No. 1 seed in the second round.
