Nebraska Cornhuskers (13-12 | 1-9) AT #7 Kansas St. Wildcats (20-4 | 7-3)
Bramlage Coliseum — Manhattan, Kan.
Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2010 — 6:10 PM CST
FOX Sports Kansas City | ESPN Full Court | ESPN360
Poor Nebraska. Tonight will be its fifth straight game against a ranked team, including two in a row on the road.
It's hell being the worst team in the best (or near-best) conference on the planet, ain't it?
For my previous analysis of the Cornhuskers, click here. To remind yourself of what happened last time, click here.
For K-State's game notes, follow the jump.
From the K-State Sports Information Department:
Kansas State (20-4, 7-3 Big 12) concludes its brief two-game home-stand Wednesday night, when the Wildcats complete the season series with Nebraska (13-12, 1-9 Big 12) at Bramlage Coliseum, at 6 p.m.
The squad will be looking to sweep the series from the Cornhuskers for just the third time since the pair joined the Big 12 in 1997, including the first time since 2004.
It will be the 218th meeting between the two long-time rivals, including the 103rd in Manhattan.
The two teams have met at least twice annually since 1922.
The Wildcats own a 124-93 advantage in the series, which dates back to 1906, and have won seven of the last eight meetings at Bramlage Coliseum.
The game will be broadcast regionally on FOX Sports Kansas City, as well as nationally on ESPN Full Court, with Ben Boyle (play-by-play) and Stan Weber (analyst) on the call.
K-State moved further up in the Top 10 on Monday, ranking seventh in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coaches' polls.
It marked the third time this season that the Wildcats have been ranked in the Top 10 in both polls, including the second straight week.
It is the highest AP ranking since also placing sixth on March 13, 1962, while it matches the highest ranking in the coaches' poll since USA Today took over ownership of the poll in 1991-92.
It marks the first time that the program has ranked among the AP Top 15 for seven consecutive weeks since the 1961-62 squad was ranked among the AP Top 10 for 15 weeks, while the team has ranked among the AP Top 25 for 10 straight weeks for the first time since the 1972-73 squad was ranked for 16 weeks in a row.
The Wildcats, who are past the midway point of the Big 12 season, are off to their best start in nearly 50 years with their current 20-4 record.
The mark ties for the fifth-best start in school history and the best since the 1961-62 squad opened the year at 21-3.
The team posted its 23rd 20-win season in Saturday's 68-51 win over Colorado, becoming the first Wildcat squad to tally 20 or more wins in four consecutive seasons.
Head coach Frank Martin also became the first head coach in school history to post three 20-win seasons to start a career.
In addition, it was the earliest that a K-State team has won 20 games in a season, surpassing the 1958-59 squad that won its 20th game three days later on Feb. 16, 1959.
K-State earned its ninth consecutive win over Colorado on Saturday afternoon, including its fifth straight at Bramlage Coliseum, with a 68-51 victory.
The Wildcats converted 22 turnovers into 26 points in the victory, marking the 12th time this season that the squad scored 20 or more points off an opponent's mistakes.
Juniors Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly each posted double-doubles in Big 12 play for the first time in their careers — Pullen led with 15 points to go with a game-high 10 assists, while Kelly posted 12 points and a career-tying 11 rebounds, to go with three blocks and three steals.

This is a nice statistic
The Wildcats converted 22 turnovers into 26 points in the victory, marking the 12th time this season that the squad scored 20 or more points off an opponent’s mistakes.

Yes, it is
We’re second only to Mizzou in forcing turnovers.
Also, we’re 46-4 when holding teams to 72 points or less under Frank Martin, 35-1 at home (the one loss was to Blake Griffin) and on a 10-game winning streak.
Did I mention Nebraska hasn’t scored more than 72 points all season?

Damn
Don’t we kind of want OSU to win (for the first time ever…)?

I know it felt weird
But I don’t think OSU will be able to jump us, and we’re going to need a team like Purdue to lose a few more down the stretch.

They already beat Purdue in West Lafayette
Not sure it matters. Buckeyes are barking up our backside, so I don’t mind seeing them lose a few more.
Big Lu brought his A game today
Man, if he starts to become any kind of a weapon at all, we become truly hard to defend in March.
Need to turn up the heat on defense...
…the offense looks good, but other than the turnovers, the defense hasn’t been great. It was 5-5 in the first game at the first media TO, this time it’s 11-10. Keep working the ball on offense, tighten the screws on defense.

This is so sloppy
I like Bulltavious’ aggressiveness, but missing that pass led directly to a three. If you’re going for that pass, you have to at least get a finger on it. Lazy/dumb passes on the offensive end have led to some bad turnovers.
Where is Jake? Where is Dom?

Got me
The substitutions early were baffling. It’s almost like Frank though this was already over, except it wasn’t.
Huskers are shooting an ungodly 70 percent
7 of 10 from the field. We’re 7 of 16.
Gotta make shots. Right now, this is just like the OSU game.
I'm officially starting to get worried about this game
They can’t miss and we can’t hit shit. Uh oh…
Shooting should even out...
…we’re playing good defense right now, but everything they put up goes in. If that continues, well, you can’t do much but tip your cap to a team that can’t miss. But in all likelihood, they’ll start missing.
Now, if we don’t turn up the intensity and start taking care of the ball, then we’re in trouble.

Agreed
As long as we get it together on offense, things should — repeat, should — work out.
God, I hope so
But that last 3 was wide open. That’s not good defense.
And our offense is atrocious right now. It’s not just misses — it’s execution.
freakin out just a bit
okay turn it on any time now…..waiting…..
tell me this isn't

We're in the double bonus
We need to take SERIOUS advantage of this for the rest of the half. We can’t score any other way.
Good teams separate right here. Let’s show the committee we’re a good team.
Looking back
Lu never should have left the game in the early minutes. He was the only hitting anything. Frank’s gonna regret that move.
Jake too
Putting in the frosh too early just killed us, and allowed Nubb to gain confidence in a half-full arena.

Hopefully Frank gives them another halftime speech for the ages

80 points!???!?!? We won’t win doing that again next half – regardless of them making everything or us playing bad defense (or any combination therein).
--VegasCat07
Everyone needs to take a deep breath...
…we just played 20 minutes of basketball against a team that made 7 out of every 10 shots it took, which isn’t easy when you’re shooting around by yourself, and we’re down by one point. Overall, the defensive effort hasn’t been bad, they’re just making contested shots. If we keep playing hard on defense, more than likely Nebraska’s shooting is going to regress to the mean. If that happens and we keep playing fairly efficiently on offense, we will win this game.
It’s only one point. It’s not like we got buried.

Serious question:
Is the Octagon of Doom stuff just looking more stupid with each passing game?
Ever since Texas, we lost to OSU, lost to KU, looked like crap in the first half against CU and now this.
The only doom is our effort level at times. For the first time all season, I’m concerned about the possibility of a Mizzou season sweep.
Why are we so much more focused on the road than we are at home?
I like the nick-name
Octagon of Doom.
But it would certainly help if we defended our homecourt better…

Dominique Sutton is 2-2 from 3
All the normal rules have gone out the window. This is the strangest game of all time.
I don't know how he does it
But Doc has once again completely outcoached Frank defensively. Our offense is worse than total shit.
Damnit!
Bad mistake after bad mistake. I sure hope Frank gets them going in the right direction with this timeout.
Nebraska is still hot, and our best two options on offense are...
…Luis Colon in the paint and Dominique Sutton shooting threes.

Start getting used to the idea that we might lose, guys
Doc’s crew is better prepared today and is executing with more effort and poise.
The worst thing that could have happened to us was them losing to Texas by 40. Clearly, the team took them lightly.

There’s tons of time left, but things need to get better fast.

Irving and Merriewether come in for Jake and Denis
We’re screwed. Frank’s more concerned about teaching lessons tonight than winning.
And as I say that, Merriwether DOES THE EXACT SAME THING HE DID AGAINST MIZZOU. Loses a key rebound that’s right in his hands.
We need Jake in
Denis I can’t defend, shooting 1-8, but Jake from the FT line has been our offense tonight.
I'm not really mad; I'm just perplexed.
I don’t think Nebraska is doing anything really outstanding from a tactical standpoint. They’re hot from the field, and we’re sloppy with the ball. That pretty much says it all for me.

Dom is 3 of 3 from 3
Just repeat that to yourself. It’s nuts.
He had seven in his CAREER coming into the day.
Suddenly, we're getting every call
It’s almost like we’re KU or something. Maybe the refs finally realized we’re the team that’s supposed to win.
And there's the T for Doc
Knew that was coming. Can’t really blame the guy. These refs suck unholy ass.
Denis hits both for the lead
I finally feel like I can breathe a little easier. But we gotta keep it up.
How did Frank
restrain himself when the calls were the opposite earlier in the game? Well? Poorly and was lucky??
--VegasCat07
Frank doesn't lace into the refs nearly as much as into his players
The refs see how he acts when he’s really mad, so as long as he doesn’t get as fired up as he can, I guess they let it slide.
Bad technical by Sadler there...
…his team had the ball and the game was tied. He gave us a chance to take the lead.
A note on Sutton. How hard would he be to defend if he could consistently show the ability to knock down a wide-open jumper. It opens the court up for the other players and opens up his driving ability.

We get everyone’s best shot b/c we’re a Top 10 team. KU deals with it. I’m not sure we’ve adjusted to do so quite yet.

Who the hell says that about KSU?
…Oh… wait… the second part. You’re absolutely right. But where the hell was the crowd?
The ESPN360 crew stated this game showed
NU is headed in the right direction. Shooting 14 of 21 from 3-pt range, making 57% of your total shots and scoring 87 regulations points – and you still lose. Not a sign of anything for NU in my opinion…
--VegasCat07
They had no business hitting a lot of those shots...
Anderson was unconscious most of the game.
You don’t base progress on flukes. NU was out-rebounded, they were dominated in the paint, and they were hitting turnaround bank shots.
That’s anything but progress.

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
And our defense was very poor at taking them out of what they wanted to do
Yeah, they hit guarded shots, but they did that because they were in position, their feet were set and they received good passes. That’s on our defense.
That is what happens when the opponent makes more shots than they miss.
We only won rebounds due to the O-board advantage.

Disappointing to hear people left early too...
When they got out to the parking lot and tuned in I’m sure they said. “WTF”.
That really hurt
Sent a bad message to the team, IMO.
I bet Doc was chuckling to himself the whole time. His dickery nearly got them the win.
Yea I was disappointed with this. I stayed the whole time
But a lot of students around me left early.
I didn't see that. Probably because I was using my voodoo doll of NU
Trying to stop the 3s. It didn’t work. I’m going to burn it.
Texas just plain looks
not-good the last 1.5+ months! I know Missouri is tough at home, but UT is no showing me much…

Another night of poor FT shooting contributed to the loss.
Who would have thought at the beginning of the season that Texas would be on the outside looking in for a first-round bye in the conference tournament?
Most likely
They’d have to drop 10 before that would even become a discussion point. I don’t think they will, although 9 is in play.
