#10 Kansas State Wildcats (13-1) AT Missouri Tigers (12-3)
Mizzou Arena — Columbia, Mo.
Saturday, Jan. 9, 2010 — 1:05 PM CST
ESPN2
Big 12 play is here at last! A brief preview follows after the jump.
From the K-State Sports Information Department:
Kansas State (13-1) opens its 14th season of Big 12 Conference action today, when the Wildcats travel to Columbia, Mo., to face the Missouri Tigers (12-3) at Mizzou Arena, at 1 p.m. CT.
The game not only will match two of the league's top offensive teams (both average 83.5 ppg), but also squads with impressive winning streaks.
The Wildcats, who are off to their best start since 1958-59, are in the midst of their longest winning streak (10) under third-year head coach Frank Martin and their longest streak since winning 10 in a row during the 1993-94 season.
The Tigers rebounded from a road loss at Oral Roberts on Dec. 9 to win seven straight, while they hold one of the nation's longest home-court winning streaks — 29 games — at Mizzou Arena.
K-State is 49-47 (.510) all-time in conference openers, dating back to the old Missouri Valley in 1914, including a 16-29 (.355) mark in openers on the road.
The squad is 5-8 (.385) in Big 12 openers, including 2-6 (.250) in those on the road.
Despite playing 229 times in their respective histories, this will be just the 10th time that the two teams have met in a league opener, including just the eighth time in Columbia, Mo.
Saturday's matchup will be the first between the two rivals in a conference opener in Columbia, Mo., since 1993-94, when the Tigers ended the Wildcats' then-10-game winning streak with a 63-43 win at the Hearnes Center on Jan. 8, 1994.
K-State is 5-4 all-time vs. Missouri in league openers, including a 3-4 mark on the road.
The contest will be the first of back-to-back nationally-televised contests on ESPN2, with Ron Franklin (play-by-play) and Fran Fraschilla (analyst) on the call.
The Wildcats earned their first Top 10 ranking in more than 35 years on Monday, when the squad jumped two spots to No. 10 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' poll.
It was the highest ranking for K-State in the coaches' poll since USA Today took over ownership of the poll in 1991-92.
Only 12 other teams in school history have reached the Top 10 at any point in a season — 1949-50 (10th), 1950-51 (3rd), 1951-52 (2nd), 1952-53 (1st), 1956-57 (10th), 1957-58 (1st), 1958-59 (1st), 1960-61 (4th), 1961-62 (3rd), 1964-65 (8th), 1965-66 (10th) and 1972-73 (9th).
The team rose one spot in the AP poll to No. 11, marking its highest ranking in the poll since head coach Jack Hartman led the Wildcats to a No. 9 ranking in the poll on March 13, 1973, with a 23-5 record.
It also is the highest ranking prior to conference play since K-State was ranked No. 10 in the preseason poll in 1965.
The squad, whose 14 non-conference foes boast a .615 winning percentage through Jan. 7, currently has a consensus Top 10 RPI and a strength of schedule ranked 38 or better.
K-State capped non-conference play on Sunday with a 91-69 win over South Dakota, which tied the 1993-94 team for the most non-conference wins (13) in school history.
Five players scored in double figures for the third consecutive games, led by junior Jacob Pullen's seventh 20-point game of the season.
The team set season highs in a number of categories, including points in the paint (56), points off turnovers (40) and fast-break points (35).

RealTimeRPI Gamer says 62.5% KSU wins
Well, I guess that is better than being an underdog. I still can’t come up with a worse way to start conference than at Misery.
by Sean T on Jan 9, 2010 12:46 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
But a loss there isn't a big deal
No one expects KSU to win there. Same for Austin. I suppose I’m worried about the Cats psychology if they lose this one.

I would put this one in that category
The last 29 teams to visit Columbia lost. I don’t they all left emotionally shattered.

Good luck today guys...
I should probably be rooting for the Tigers in this one because you all are looking like a bigger threat this year, but I have always been much more into the KU-MU rivalry due to growing up on the Illinois v Missouri border.

The weird thing is, this game feels very winnable
If we just make shots, I think we’ll win. Missouri isn’t exactly doing anything special, just cashing in at the free-throw line.
The press isn’t even the problem. It’s just our halfcourt offense that sucks. Frank is getting outcoached on that end right now.

Way too premature to say that yet
We gotta get to the under-4 and get some of the bigs back in the game before I’ll feel good.

just a question of subject
if we pull this one out….would it later be considered a quality W?

Jeez, I hope so

One comment fellas - I love Merriweather's effort, but he cannot be in during the last 2 minutes of a game. Gimme CK or Martavious.
by atxcat on Jan 9, 2010 3:26 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
CK's played terrible and can't be trusted on D
Irving is too young.
Chris has earned it today with some great plays.
by BracketCat on Jan 9, 2010 3:28 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I now retract my comment
That cost us.

by catman88 on Jan 9, 2010 3:29 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
This was the game IMHO
A rebound here and a made basket on the other end sends either to overtime or the win.
by Catbacker98 on Jan 9, 2010 11:27 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, but why was Merriewether in there to rebound?
Because CK’s in the doghouse, Lu and Jamar were fouled out and Wally would have just looked for a Tiger to foul.
More than any single other play this season, that is a play where I realized how badly we miss the White Tiger right now. Because NOBODY has stepped up to fill his shoes. We don’t miss Ron and Martavious is way better than Fred, but we miss DK in the worst way.
by BracketCat on Jan 10, 2010 1:17 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Disagree.
Chris is terrible on offense, even if he somehow scored 7 pts today. Our halfcourt offense isn’t good enough to overcome his lack of skills. Irving can hit an open J consistently and has made great decisions for a youngin.
Good effort by the Cats, either way. Especially considering none of our players had particularly good games.
by atxcat on Jan 9, 2010 3:32 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Yes, that was a team loss
Every single guy can look in the mirror and see a play he screwed up that cost us.
by BracketCat on Jan 9, 2010 3:36 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Agree on that one, not one play but several mistakes were the difference
GO STATE!!!!
by wabasher on Jan 9, 2010 3:38 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I hate saying this
but I feel like the refs took over this game a bit in the second half when we weren’t scoring. We easily could have stretched a lead and been a bit more comfortable. I know I’m always a bit biased but every time we drove the lane there was a body foul that hardly ever got called.
Obviously we sucked today too, but I feel like we still should have been able to get those calls. Also… screw you Zaire Taylor
Just Wabash already!

Wow, Frank
On Curtis Kelly: “I’d rather talk about somebody else, Wyatt.”
Said we worked out butt off to be in the game at the end and then didn’t make the plays. We had a lead and pissed it away, he said. Fell apart on defense and rebounding. Called out Dom for the turnover when he had the lane.
by BracketCat on Jan 9, 2010 3:56 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Jesus
We got out-rebounded 35-30 and they got to the line 43 times to our 30.
Unacceptable. I’m surprised Frank hasn’t murdered somebody yet.

Great game, guys.
I’m officially a K-State believer. You guys have a ton of weapons, and are underrated on the defensive end.
Good luck to you guys. I’ll be pulling for you guys in every other game. Except when we play in Manhattan. When I’ll be crying into my pillow at the thought of Frank Martin screaming at me.

It took an ugly loss to convince you?
Um, OK…
I’ve never been more filled with doubt about this team than I am right now. Our entire frontcourt evaporated and we reverted right back to last year, minus Darren Kent.
That’s a problem.
by BracketCat on Jan 9, 2010 4:00 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I guess...
…I’ve just seen so many teams — 30 in a row — walk into Mizzou Arena and fold. K-State never folded; they just ran out of time and made one or two too many careless mistakes.
That, and it’s only the second K-State game I’ve seen this year.

I guess I can see that
I appreciate the gesture, but I’m just really pissed right now because it’s clear that we cannot win the Big 12.
Texas and Kansas will not lose games like that. We’re already behind the eight-ball.

I won't feel my confidence return until we
A. Beat A&M
B. Get one back on the league leaders, preferably by beating Texas.
I’m sorry, but there are just gigantic question marks with our frontcourt right now. We thought we were going to be more athletic there, but it’s been more than offset by a total lack of leadership up front. Jake and Denis can’t do it all.
And now we find out CK was late to practice this week and is back in the doghouse. At the rate he is going, he won’t be on the team next year. It’s worrisome.

The Hubert Davis Kiss of Death
This morning, he tabbed Duke, Purdue and K-State as Final Four teams.
I had a little shiver when I heard that — it was the first time I thought the hype exceeded the product.
Well, look what happened in the Top 10 today. Fracking ESPN.

Ha...
that is a pretty crazy coincidence.
You hit the nail on the head above. Everyone should have an advantage on Missouri inside and yet Samuels was the only one that didn’t look completely worthless.
