Missouri Tigers (21-7 | 9-4) AT #6 Kansas St. Wildcats (23-4 | 10-3)
K-State PROUD | The Battle for Second Place
Bramlage Coliseum — Manhattan, Kan.
Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010 — 7:05 PM CST
ESPNU | ESPN360
Nothing good happened the last time these two met. We temporarily lost our first Top 10 ranking in an eternity, Frank Martin got so mad he popped his own player and Laurence Bowers finished the game with an emphatic dunk that I'm guessing the Wildcats haven't forgotten in the two months since.
Since then, Missouri's only lost four games — three of those on the road — and thoroughly is enmeshed in the hunt for a No. 2 seed in Kansas City. If any of you doubt how high the stakes for this game are, check out my comment on TB's recent two-week breakdown.
But the loss of Justin Safford leaves Mizzou even thinner in the post than it already was. Now Bowers and Keith Ramsey will have to shoulder most of the load, with Steve Moore (a less physical version of Luis Colon) assisting.
Frankly, if we don't dominate in the paint today, I'll be highly disappointed. In the previous game, Curtis Kelly and Jamar Samuels were saddled with fouls most of the game, and the Cats were out-rebounded by an opponent that out-rebounds hardly anybody. That can't happen again.
Let's just beat these guys down and move on to more meaningful goals. If recent history is any indication, the Striped Cats don't tend to play too well once the Octagon crowd gets raucous. I'd like to keep that going.

For K-State's game notes, follow the jump.
From the K-State Sports Information Department:
Kansas State (23-4, 10-3 Big 12) returns home to the friendly confines of Bramlage Coliseum on Saturday night, when the Wildcats play host to Missouri (21-7, 9-4 Big 12) at 7 p.m.
The contest will begin the stretch run of the conference's regular season, in which the Wildcats play at No. 1 Kansas (27-0, 13-0 Big 12) on Wednesday before returning home for Senior Night on Saturday, March 6, against Iowa State (14-14, 3-10 Big 12).
Seeding for the upcoming Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship will be online Saturday, and the Wildcats are just a game ahead of the Tigers and will be looking for a bye to the conference quarterfinals for the fourth consecutive season.
This will be the 231st all-time meeting between K-State and Missouri in a series that dates back to 1907.
Each squad has won 115 games in the series, with the Wildcats holding a 59-44 mark at home, including a 12-8 record at Bramlage Coliseum.
The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPNU, with Justin Kutcher (play-by-play) and Dickey Simpkins (analyst) on the call.
K-State moved up further in the Top 10 on Monday, ranking sixth in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coaches' polls.
It marked the fourth time this season that the Wildcats have been ranked in the Top 10 in both polls, including the third straight week.
It is the highest AP ranking since also placing sixth on March 13, 1962, while it is 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 eight consecutive weeks since the 1961-62 squad was ranked among the AP Top 10 for 15 weeks, while the team's current 11-week stay in the AP Top 25 is the longest since the 1972-73 squad was ranked for 16 straight weeks.
The Wildcats are off to their best start in nearly 50 years with their current 23-4 record.
The mark ties for the third-best start in school history and the best since the 1958-59 squad finished the year at 25-2.
The team posted its 23rd 20-win season Feb. 13, becoming the first Wildcat squad to tally 20 or more wins in four consecutive seasons.
In addition, Frank Martin became the first head coach in school history to post three 20-win seasons to start a career, while the win over Oklahoma on Feb. 20 gave him the most wins by a head coach in his first three seasons.
K-State ran its winning streak to six games on Tuesday with an 83-64 victory over Texas Tech at the United Spirit Arena.
The win was the Wildcats' sixth straight on the road in league play and gave them their highest win total in conference road play since the 1975-76 season.
The squad shot 47.5 percent for the game, including 52 percent in the second half, to top 80 points for the 16th time this season.
Junior Jacob Pullen led four players in double figures with his 20th career 20-point game and a game-high 28 points.
Sophomore Jamar Samuels had his third double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.

I'm leaving for Manhattan now...
…and I sense impending DOOM…
We'll carry the banner high!
Bring On The Cats
So far, Kentucky and Georgetown have experienced DOOM
And it looks as though Texas might do so, too.
Why in God's name is Tiny Gallon trying to shoot 3s?
He has 20 points in the paint and he’s 0-for-6 from 3 in Big 12 play.
Use your head, freshman!
Well, so far Okie Lite's hanging in there on CBS
But making a few too many dumb mistakes to make me think that actually have a legit shot at winning.
10-point lead for the good guys in orange!
Self’s already burned two timeouts in the first 12 minutes. Upset in the making?
Ugh, they just had to carry J'Covan Brown off the Reed Arena floor on a stretcher
Hit his head on a charge. Yuck. You hate to see that.
Holy shit!
FRED GULLEY just blocked Aldrich, and they go on the other end for a Muonelo 3 and a 16-point lead!
Fuck yes!
oSu has the lead back up to 19 points
Matches KU’s biggest deficit of the season, set in the first half of this game.
Not surprising for a team as good as KU.
I expect them to cut it to at least 5 here soon.
by WillieWannabe on Feb 27, 2010 4:32 PM CST up reply actions
I don't see that
If they get it back within 5, it won’t be until there are about 5 minutes left in the game. They’ve dug a deep hole and it’s not like OSU suddenly will stop scoring.
Either way
it’s nice to watch them struggle.

If you guys wanna see a barnburner, flip over to Big 12 Network
Nebraska and Tech are in double overtime now.
Nubbs win in 2OT, 83-79
Snaps a 7-game losing streak. Pretty impressive, considering how ugly things looked at halftime.
So you're saying there's still a chance?

Took a dive
Ok all week the number 1 team in the nation has been saying how good the okies were and that they would have to play their best game to come out with a win. I’m all for respecting your opponent but they were laying it on pretty thick.
I’m going out on a limb, as shakey as it may be, and calling out KU for taking a dive. That’s right I said it.
The only way OSU got in to the NCAA was to beat KU. It looks pretty good for KU and the league if the BigXII have 7 teams in the tourney (of course Texas is shakey at this point).

Nah we'll get 7 in now for sure

After OU's loss to Baylor
and Tech’s loss to Nebraska(really?) I think it’s safe to say this league is divided by the haves and the have-nots. Good god is there a huge seperation between 7th and 8th place.

This is terrible

We’ve been out-rebounded, Clemente has 2 fouls and our offense is a mess.

True story
The halftime score of today’s Illinois-Minnesota game was 24-14.
Illinois ended up losing at home by 2.
And to think I laughed at that. This is like God’s cosmic revenge.

I have a confession
If we lose tonight it’s my fault. I just couldn’t help myself.
I had to rub in the Texas lose to some friends.
I knew I shouldn’t have, but they’re so damn arrogant. All this talk about them leaving and they barely deserve to be here in the B12.

25-21 is actually not bad at all considering how bad K-State shot. Mizzou had a lot of chances at defensive rebounds.

That assumes Purdue losing tomorrow
and Cuse losing tonight. Both are far from guarantees.
- is the highest K-State has been right? If so, worst case would be Purdue, Syracuse, and Duke winning. That would probably keep KSU at 6 heading to Lawrence. At that point, I’d say it’s more likely that #6 would be your highest ranking this year.

He doesn’t score much, but he gets some rebounds here and there.
Just curious because people around them
think little brother is going to be better. I’d imagine K-State wouldn’t like a “Capel” situation where one goes to Duke and the other to the arch-rival.

From my point
All will be forgiven tomorrow. We just had a rough night shooting. Glad we could split the series this year. Beat the hawks on Wednesday and well clean them up on Saturday. Best of Luck the rest of the year.
Great moments are born from great opportunity.
Back atcha
You might have had a rough shooting night, but no one should have to suffer through what we did in the first half. Of course, you guys had a lot to do with that, so kudos.
I hate to say I told you so....
Well you know the rest.
I don’t see us moving up much if at all, but I’ll take a win any day.

Wow MadCat
There is never an appropriate time to post that……

Yeh, I thought it might be good to break up an awkward moment...
Or create one.
Hail to the Purple, Hail to the White
Wildcat in spirit, Wildcat in fight
Hail Alma Mater from sea to sea
Onward forever, Hail Victory!
As a general rule
you cannot be a thug on roller skates.

Jeez what a game
So 33.9% for the game. So what does that make the % in the second half? Good win for the Cats. Barely won rebounding, but FTs proved crucial (again) at home.
Why am I REALLY hoping not to see MU in the Big XII tourney?
It was over 50 percent
At one point early in the half, during that run, they flashed a stat that had us shooting 19 percent in the first half and 63 percent thus far in the second.
That’s gotta be some kind of record.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Wow. So what went so well in the second? Just the fact that the damned ball actually went through (vs bouncing around on top of) the hoop?
I thought the KSU offense looked pretty good (but then, I only saw the second half). Good movement. At least compared to the first game between the two when KSU wasn’t doing anything intelligent.
For the sake of perspective
I remember, before conference play, thinking to myself “11-5 would be pretty alright.”
Well, that’s settled now. ;)
This space for rent.
Yeah... that does sound vaguely familiar
But then, that was when everyone was expecting OU and UT to not flop.
I know you're just playing off the original reference
but still, I do want to point out I’m not settling FOR anything. ;)
I was just noting that with last night’s win, the second of my benchmark expectations for the season has been met (the first — merely making the tournament — was discarded once we got past UNLV and Alabama and it became fairly obvious we were in good shape there). I figured that 11-5 was what we’d need to absolutely ensure an invite, although in retrospect I think we’d be safely off the bubble even if we were only 10-4 right now.
Of course, the fact that I discarded the second one as soon as the buzzer went off against Texas is completely irrelevant…
