#11 Kansas St. Wildcats (16-3 | 3-2) AT #24 Baylor Bears (15-3 | 2-2)
Ferrell Center — Waco, Texas
Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2010 — 7:05 PM CST
FOX Sports Kansas City | ESPN Full Court | ESPN360
We come to it at last — the turning of the tide. This week could define our season, and it begins with a stiff challenge tonight in Waco.
I pray we can meet it. The odds are against us, but I say: Damn the odds and damn the torpedoes.
For my previous analysis of the Bears, click here. To see K-State's game notes, follow the jump.
From the K-State Sports Information Department:
Kansas State (16-3, 3-2 Big 12) looks to get back on the winning track Tuesday night, when the Wildcats hit the road to face a surging Baylor squad (15-3, 2-2 Big 12) at the Ferrell Center, at 7 p.m.
The squad is coming off a disappointing performance against Oklahoma State on Saturday, in which it saw its Bramlage Coliseum-record 14-game homecourt winning streak come to an end in a 73-69 defeat.
The team shot a season-low 35.6 percent from the field, including just 27.6 percent from 3-point range, and posted a near-season-low 22 points in the paint.
It was the first loss for the Wildcats at home since an 85-74 loss to No. 16 Kansas on Feb. 14, 2009, and the first at home to an unranked team since Baylor earned an 83-65 win on Jan. 21, 2009.
Now, the Wildcats venture to the Ferrell Center, where the Bears have won a school-record 11 consecutive home games, including a perfect 10-0 mark this season.
Both teams entered the week ranked in the AP Top 25, with K-State dropping one spot to No. 11 and Baylor moving one spot to No. 24.
It will mark the first time in series history that both teams will enter the game ranked in the AP Top 25.
The contest will be televised regionally on FOX Sports Kansas City, as well as nationally on the ESPN Full Court package, with Ben Boyle (play-by-play) and Stan Weber (analyst) on the call.
Tuesday's contest not only will pit two of the best backcourts in the Big 12 against each other, but also two of the best rebounding squads.
The Baylor tandem of LaceDarius Dunn (19.3 points per game) and Tweety Carter (16.2 points per game) are averaging 35.5 points per game, while K-State counters with the duo of Jacob Pullen (18.8 points per game) and Denis Clemente (14.6 points per game), who are averaging 33.4 points per game.
The teams rank in the top four in both overall rebounding and rebounding margin, while K-State is tops in offensive rebounds (15.9) and Baylor second in defensive rebounds (29.06).
This will be 21st all-time meeting between the two teams, including the 15th since the inception of the Big 12, with the series tied at 10-10.
Baylor leads the series, 9-5, in the Big 12 era, including wins in three of the last four meetings.
Overall, the Bears are 5-2 all-time at home, including five wins in the last six meetings in Waco.
K-State hasn't won at the Ferrell Center since earning a 64-62 victory on March 2, 2004.
Last season, Baylor posted its largest win in the series with an 83-65 victory in Manhattan.
K-State stayed in the Top 15 in both major polls for the fourth consecutive week Monday, when the Wildcats dropped one spot to No. 11 in the Associated Press poll and four slots to No. 13 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll.
It marks the first time that the program has ranked among the AP Top 15 for four consecutive weeks since the 1961-62 squad was ranked among the AP Top 10 for 14 consecutive weeks, from Dec. 19, 1961 to March 13, 1962.
Although the squad dropped its game against Oklahoma State on Saturday, the current 16-3 record ties for the sixth-best start in school history and the best since the 1961-62 team opened with a 17-2 record.
It marks just the seventh time in school history that a K-State team has won at least 16 of its first 19 games.

Lu is really struggling so far
Bad matchup, just like OSU.
He’s done a few good things, but mostly bad.
11-9 K-State
Denis with a dumb turnover.
Out of control.
I’d be in favor of an all-frosh guard lineup at this point.
Just too fast
wasn’t it? I thought the play was there, but Kelly just wasn’t ready for it
Just Wabash already!

It's not just that play
As always, he’ll do some brilliant things and follow that up with some dumb things. Just have to accept the total package.
So far, so good.
A few careless turnovers and fouls. But, overall we are hitting the glass, taking good shots and playing sold D.
13-9 Cats at the under 12 TO.
He hit a few easy ones and got his confidence back
That’s the way to go. Saturday, all they tried was the hard ones.
LU with a great stuff on Dunn
Then Jamar missed an alley-oop dunk and then committed a retarded foul. Typical.
NO!
Rodney jumped straight in the air! I call BS

McGruder was just assessed the WORST charge in the history of basketball
Would have been a block on us any other game this year.
Anyone know if Baylor is favored tonight?
And by what? I know it doesn’t really matter, but I’m curious.
Or not
They called it on Denis. 9 team fouls.
Typical shitty Big 12 officiating.
Tom O’Neill’s balding head looks like a rat vagina.
Interesting adjustment by Drew
Abandoned the zone that we were just chewing up, in favor of a press that caused us problems for a while… but we seem to be solving it a little.
Headin to the locker room now
Just Wabash already!
by AlwaysaWildcat on Jan 26, 2010 7:38 PM CST up reply actions
And now Jamar has 2
Got in the air again.
And put them in the double-bonus.
They only have 4 fouls. Fuck this.
And Kelly is off to the lockers. Shit.
His poor play is contributing to this slump.
Denis is not playing very good basketball right now. He’s making poor decisions, playing poor defense, and he’s not shooting well at all.
I don’t think there’s really an answer for that since the freshmen aren’t playing well either, but regardless, if we want to win this game and finish in the top four, he’s gotta get better.

Bring on the Cats
"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
I may be in the minority,
but I enjoy watching our style of ball more than “pretty” basketball. :-) Probably partially due to it being our ’Cats, but I find tough, hard-nosed defense and good offensive rebounding fun to watch.
--VegasCat07
Not all of that has been our fault
I gotta say, though, that was a pretty damn salty half considering our two wings got in foul trouble AGAIN, CK got hurt, the frosh had to play a ton — and didn’t do all that bad, all things considered — and the foul ratio is way in their advantage.
But we basically shut Udoh and Dunn down, and that’s fracking impressive. Plus Jake is back, so it’s all good.
Now we need to finish for 20 minutes.
Here's a pet peeve of mine; I hate it when announcers say, "And he had to foul him there."
No, he didn’t. If you’re beat, you’re beat. Yeah, you need to contest, but stand up in his face, extend your arms and hope for the best. Don’t give them a chance for a +1.
Baylor scored ten points on free throws. If K-State didn’t foul as much, then we wouldn’t have this problem. Same with the OSU game.
I get that it’s not our style of play, but truthfully, don’t hurt yourself. You can play tough, hard-nosed defense without making stupid fouls.
Anyway, I’ll hop off my soap box now.

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
I just got home from work
Are Jake and Denis actually back?
Agreed with the above comments about Denis...
…he is so hot-and-cold. That play on the fast break where he faked the behind the back pass and missed the layup made me furious. It’s a three-on-one breakaway! Make the easy play and you have a layup or a dunk. Instead, he went for the Sportscenter Top 10, and missed the layup.
Then he hits a couple floaters to redeem himself.
We'll carry the banner high!

Viewing the box score, it would seem free throws
should have cost us. And certainly they could have, but we (Pullen) made two huge FT’s when it really mattered most.
Also, Dom with just 11 minutes? Did he get dinged in the first few minutes that I missed?
--VegasCat07
No, just mostly ineffective...
…he can’t seem to play tough defense without fouling right now. Top that with the fact that he’s got the yips on his layups, and he’s just not very effective. Hope he gets it back on track, because we’ll need him.

Regarding Dom
I don’t think there was a particularly good person on the Bears to match him up against, in any case. Their guards are a little too quick, and the forwards too big.
I'd say Dom has been replaced by Rodney McGruder until further notice
Kid plays D without fouling, his rebounds are an automatic two points, and he can score from anywhere on the floor.
Right now, he’s playing better. Might even start soon.
Another good road win per the RPI...
Baylor was #30.

Random pathetic note of the night
Attendance for the game – 8,833. For a game between two ranked schools. Tell me again why Baylor is part of the Big XII?
I saw that during the game
2000 or so empty seats for this kind of game? Trying to help your team get home court advantage in the Big 12? I guess not
GO STATE!!!!
Basketball just isn't a big deal in Texas
Part of it is that football is so big, but I think part of it is the weather. Up here, what the hell else are you going to do on a winter night? Being inside a warm gym watching a good basketball game is way better than anything else. Down there, you have a lot more options.
Oh, and Baylor is a part of the Big 12 because of Bob Bullock and Ann Richards. But that’s another story for another night.
