#1 Texas Longhorns (17-0 | 3-0) AT #9 Kansas State Wildcats (15-2 | 2-1)
Big Monday
Bramlage Coliseum — Manhattan, Kan.
Monday, Jan. 18, 2010 — 8:05 PM CST
ESPN
What a huge opportunity lies before us tonight, my fellow Wildcats.
There is almost no cost to us, should we lose. No one will fault us for falling to the No. 1 team in the nation, even at home. Not in this meat grinder of a conference.
But should we dare to aspire to more, should we dare to dream of a Wildcat Victory tonight, look at what awaits us:
- The cementing of our Top 10 status.
- A victory over the No. 1 team in the country.
- A head-to-head win over a rival for the conference crown.
- Complete dominance of SportsCenter tonight and talk radio tomorrow, for ours is the only game of consequence tonight, featured on the most dominant sports network in the history of television.
- And best of all, the envious jealousy of KU fans, who might go insane while we hog all the limelight and accolades for the next two weeks.
To hell with losing. That's the easy way out. It's time to take the next step as a basketball program.
If we win this thing, I think we will ascend in short order to the level of a Michigan State or a Tennessee. And it won't be many years before we start getting the respect accorded to a North Carolina or a Connecticut, both of which inexplicably still are in at least one of the polls.
Hell, we might even enter the CBE Classic next year while being viewed as a peer to Duke, if not the favorite.
Let's just go kick some Longhorn ass.
For my previous analysis of the Longhorns, click here. To see K-State's game notes, follow the jump.
From the K-State Sports Information Department:
Kansas State (15-2, 2-1 Big 12) plays on its biggest stage to date Monday, when the Wildcats play host to No. 1 Texas (17-0, 3-0 Big 12) on ESPN's Big Monday before a sold-out crowd at Bramlage Coliseum, at 8 p.m. CT.
Brent Musburger (play-by-play), Bob Knight (analyst) and Holly Rowe (sideline reporter) will be on the call for the ESPN broadcast.
Monday's game will mark the 15th all-time meeting with a No. 1 team for K-State and its first since losing to top-ranked Kansas on the road on Feb. 27, 2002.
The team is 2-12 all-time against the top-ranked team, including a 1-5 mark in games played at home.
However, the two wins over No. 1 have come in the Sunflower State, including a 65-58 win over top-ranked Missouri at Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 8, 1990 and a 68-64 triumph over top-ranked Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 17, 1994.
This will be just the third meeting with a No. 1 team when the Wildcats also are ranked and the first since top-ranked Missouri beat No. 14 K-State 59-58 at Ahearn Field House on Jan. 30, 1982.
With three teams ahead of them in the polls losing on Saturday, there is a chance that the No. 12/13 Wildcats could find themselves in the Top 10 for the second time this season and the first time since Jan. 4.
A top-10 ranking for K-State on Monday would pit two Top 10 teams in Bramlage Coliseum for the first time in the arena's 22-year history, and for the first time in school history since No. 9 K-State knocked off No. 7 Louisiana-Lafayette 66-63 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Houston, Texas, on March 15, 1973.
The school's No. 12 ranking in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches and No. 13 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 polls represent just the ninth Top 15 rankings in the last 35 seasons.
The squad, whose 17 opponents boast a .634 winning percentage through Jan. 17, has a consensus Top 10 RPI (in all five major RPI polls) and a strength of schedule ranked 17 or better nationally.
The Wildcats, who rebounded nicely from their first loss in seven weeks with back-to-back wins over Texas A&M and Colorado, have won 12 of their last 13 games, and will be riding a Bramlage Coliseum-record 13-game homecourt winning streak into Monday's game.
It is the ninth-longest winning streak in school history and the longest at a home venue for K-State since the squad won 20 straight games at Ahearn Field House from Jan. 28, 1981 to Jan. 30, 1982.
The 87-81 win against the Buffaloes on Saturday moved the team to 15-2 overall this season, which ties for the fourth-best start in school history and the best since the 1961-62 squad also posted a 15-2 mark.
K-State used a near-record effort from the free-throw line to record its eighth consecutive win over Colorado on Saturday.
The Wildcats converted on 38 of 54 attempts from the charity stripe, the fourth-most makes and the third-most attempts in school history.
Junior Jacob Pullen led a balanced scoring attack of five players in double figures with 15 points, while backcourt mate Denis Clemente added 13, including an 11-of-13 effort from the free-throw line.

It's time for Texas to step into the octagon
Am I the only one who finds the “Octagon” references appropriate with K-State’s physical style of play? It’s like a damn UFC fight.
Thank you very much
You’ve got a bye week, right?
Unholy Alliance For Freeing The North From The Evil Clutches Of Texas (UAFFTNFTECOT) re-established!
Bad news, everyone
John Higgins is doing tonight’s game. Expect mad whack calls aplenty.
Also, another ref on the crew apparently is No. 1 in the country in fouls called per game.
Suit up — this could be a long one.
Attack Pittman and James in the post.
Get them outta there.
The Wildcats a few hundred miles East of you are behind you 100%.......
go get ’em Cats
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Higgins can get ass raped to death.

Well, they're calling a pretty loose game
I guess that’s a good thing for us.
Dom and Wally have missed a ton of jumpers. They need to take it strong to the hoop.
You know what?
I’m not sure my stomach can take watching this game.
keep the pressure up guys......run them into the floor......your guys look really

Damn.....this game is rougher than a cob.......I like the way you guys play.....

Jake, you can't try to take a charge when you already have one

Great.
You guys keep driving that lane....running like crazy and forcing them into bad Defensive sets
and you will own them in the 2nd half if you can keep it close in the first
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
We obviously came into the game with a plan to attack the rim after seeing the aTm film
I think we’re already starting to wear James and Pittman out a bit. That overtime game on Saturday might be our best friend when it’s all said and done.
I hope so.......I will say this much already....I am very impressed.....
I was led to believe there was a much bigger gap between Texas and the rest of the Big 12
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Just goes to show you ESPN doesn't really know what they're talking about most of the time
The Big 12 is deep and ferocious this year.
The Big 12 is TOUGH this year
Don’t let anyone tell you any differently.

oh I figured the league was pretty good, just that Texas was so much better than
everyone…..which I now know is false…….didnt get to see the Tech game, so I wasnt sure if it was Texas or Tech who played better…..
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Being a Missouri fan,
I’m not one to want to give kansas many compliments. But I think it’s probably hard to argue that Texas is a much better team than them. So you’ve got Texas and kansas on top, but there’s a LOT of depth underneath them.

Oooh coach looked really pissed
Seems like they’re attempting some quick, messy 3’s when they probably shouldn’t…but they’re playing a nice, fast game so far. They’re handling the big guys in orange pretty well.

Then a dumb foul, a dumb turnover and a weak rebound attempt, but at least they called the foul on Balbay.
Oh, well, he’s still affecting the game positively.
Did anyone see that
The ref was looking in a monitor, and the image on the monitor was the ref, looking at the monitor.

How do you guys finish???......can you put them away if you get them down
15-20???
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Not until the second half
It depends on whether we come out with the same kind of energy, and how our guards do. I’m sure Barnes will make adjustments to take away some of those points in the paint, but if we can find the mid-range game, we should be OK.
we have a problem with that.......too many times we have let teams back in......
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
If texas makes it to halftime....
only down by 10 or 12 I expect to see them make a big run at the beginning of the 2nd half
GO STATE!!!!
Why do they keep showing a double screen of rick and the game?
It’s annoying and I can’t see the game.

You guys have Barnes shaking his head......
he almost had a BCG moment there!!!!……… was waiting for the "now what kind of question is that?" statement…..lol

Only worrisome thing so far is the free throws
Definitely need to improve down the stretch (no more blowing the front end of one and ones).

Holding on to the lead, however tenuously is good
The fact that we still have the lead after we didn’t score for 5 1/2 minutes to end the half and start the second tells us a lot.
Sometimes playing like crap

It was a better play than it looked
CK got the ball caught in his legs, but he’s moved a lot better overall tonight.
This is where we need to learn from the Mizzou game
Late in the game with the lead.
We need to make the plays we didn’t back then, and stop the plays we gave up.
OK . . .
We can’t go dry the final 3 minutes like we did in the first half.
Barnes better get his troops better at defense.....if you guys hadnt taken a few bad shots
this game wouldnt even be close right now
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
You know, I wish it was like this when I was in school.

I dislike Musburger so much
But I know exactly what you’re talking about.
OU scores that long TD – ‘KSU is dead, OU is the greatest team of all time’
Sproles runs for the long TD – ‘I want to make sweet man-love with him’
Geez
You guys are a big time 3 pt shooter from being final 4 caliber
is there anyone that is a go to guy for 3’s on your squad??
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Pullen, Clemente, and McGruder
They just haven’t hit anything tonight.
Yeah, Jake Pullen
You’re witnessing the worst shooting game of his career.
He hit 6 in a game earlier this year.
2-15 tonight
Good lord. I still can’t get over that. It might take until the OSU game for me to finally shake that out of my system.
Pullen actually. He's just really, really cold tonight.

I think it's going to be pretty tough to win
on the road anywhere in the Big 12 this year. But seems like you’ve got a pretty nice crowd there.

they've got a great crowd tonight...
and I couldn’t agree more, winning in the Big 12 is just looking insanely difficult this year.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
We agree on something!
Look at us getting along. ;)

I think we’d also agree that the Big 12 North is owning the Big 12 these days. Hell even Colorado got a win over a ranked south opponent.

Definitely!
It’s nice to see the north doing well.

look forward to the rematch mu-ksu.
both teams agree to handle those beakers from lawrence correct?
Great moments are born from great opportunity.
We both need to beat them this year
How much would that piss them off to lose to both Mizzou and K-State in a season where they were all talking about going undefeated?

Ha, Frank almost said Denis has "balls"
Then said he couldn’t say what he was gonna say b/c he’d get in trouble.
Frank was just about to say something about the Octagon of Doom
And then the feed cut out.
Screw you, Learfield.
Yeah.
He mentioned Gottlieb’s comment about the Octagon, and said how much he loves the crowd.
