No. 2 seed Kansas St. Wildcats (26-7) VS. No. 15 seed North Texas Eagles (27-8)
NCAA Tournament — First Round
Ford Center — Oklahoma City, Okla.
Thursday, March 18 — approx. 1:40 PM CST
CBS Sports | March Madness On Demand
It's time for March Madness!
Only four No. 2 seeds have fallen in the first round since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams, which equates to a 2-seed success rate of 98 percent.
Let's hope the Cats keep their eyes on the prize and don't become the fifth.
They should handle this game with ease, but any team capable of losing to Iowa State at home on Senior Night also is capable of losing to a mid-major conference tournament champion.
As always, "survive and advance" is the name of this game.
For K-State's game notes, follow the jump.
From the K-State Sports Information Department:
Kansas State (26-7, 11-5 Big 12) was rewarded for its successful season on Sunday night, when the Wildcats earned their 24th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and their second in the last three seasons by receiving an at-large bid to the tournament.
The squad was selected as a No. 2 seed in the West Regional and will travel to Oklahoma City, to play No. 15 seed and Sun Belt Conference champion North Texas (24-8, 13-5 Sun Belt) at the 17,611-seat Ford Center today.
The winner will advance to play either No. 7 seed BYU (29-5, 13-3 MWC) or No. 10 seed Florida (21-12, 9-7 SEC) on Saturday, at a time to be determined.
The Wildcats and Mean Green will play 30 minutes after the conclusion of the contest between BYU and Florida, which is slated to begin at 11:40 a.m.
The four teams will be joined in the Oklahoma City bracket by No. 1 seed Kansas, No. 8 seed UNLV, No. 9 seed Northern Iowa and No. 16 seed Lehigh, who all play in the Midwest Regional second session tonight.
All the games in Oklahoma City will be broadcast nationally on CBS Sports, with Kevin Harlan (play-by-play) and Dan Bonner (analyst) on the call.
K-State is making its 31st postseason appearance, which includes 24 in the NCAA Tournament and seven in the National Invitational Tournament.
It marks the fourth consecutive postseason appearance for the Wildcats and the first in the NCAA Tournament since losing to No. 3 Wisconsin 72-55 in the second round of the Midwest Regional, in Omaha, Neb., on March 22, 2008.
The four straight postseason trips are the most since the school advanced to the NCAA Tournament each season from 1987 to 1990.
The program has posted a 28-27 (.509) all-time record in NCAA Tournament play, including a 9-4 mark in first-round games.
The school will be making its fifth appearance in the West Regional and the first since 1987, with an 8-6 record all-time.
The No. 2 seed is the highest for K-State since seeding began in 1979, surpassing the previous high of a No. 4 seed in 1988.
It marks just the sixth time that that Wildcats have earned a seeding of eight or better in the NCAA Tournament.
In the program's 23 previous NCAA Tournaments, the squad has advanced to the Sweet Sixteen a total of 16 times, reached 11 Elite Eights, made four Final Four appearances and played in one NCAA title game.
The Wildcats were one of a Big 12-record seven teams to earn berths in the NCAA Tournament, joining No. 1 seed Kansas, No. 3 seed Baylor (South), No. 5 seed Texas A&M (South), No. 7 seed Oklahoma State (Midwest), No. 8 seed Texas (East) and No. 10 seed Missouri (East) in the field.

Anyone see this over in the sidebar?
Man, who wants to be Jeff Capel right now? Just when he probably was sighing in relief that their horrible 13-18 season finally is over, this happens.
I think I know where the house-cleaning might begin…
I know a certain purple school that wouldn't mind taking
TMG off their hands….

I wouldn’t cheer for the Hawks if I was there, but I wouldn’t cheer against them, either.
It’s all about conference pride at this point.
'Nova is cutting it close.
I did read that 2 starters are on the bench today.
Hmmm...Notre Dame lost.

I am perfectly OK with that

Verne Lunquist has to be retarded

I don't know why the Villanova guy wanted to run out the clock instead of score another basket.

'Nova
Wins in extremely unimpressive fashion..
Surgeon General's Warning: K-State-Mizzou basketball may increase the risk of high blood pressure. Please consult your doctor prior to watching any of these games.
What have we learned so far?
The bottom seeds are gonna COMPETE this year.
Murray State leads Vandy. Sam Houston State jumped out on Baylor. Robert Morris took Villanova to overtime. Florida took BYU to DOUBLE overtime. And Old Dominion WON.
Phew. Let the madness continue. It’s gonna be a hell of a tournament.
I hope our game is easy.
Hail to the Purple, Hail to the White
Wildcat in spirit, Wildcat in fight

Well I don't know about that
those 66-96 teams won’t make it to the Final Four.
Surgeon General's Warning: K-State-Mizzou basketball may increase the risk of high blood pressure. Please consult your doctor prior to watching any of these games.
I'm one of those who don't think that matters
I mean, Robert Morris wasn’t going to the Final Four either, but if they’d won that game we’d remember them forever.
And there’s one other minor consideration that nobody takes into account: every time you win a game, it’s more money for you and your conference. Every chance the mid-majors get to do so increases their financial ability to work toward closing the competition gap — which is good for everyone, quite honestly.
This space for rent.
Of course, that pie would be split 32 more ways
And I doubt the mid-majors will get many more pieces. It’ll be mediocre power conference teams like Tech, Arizona State, etc.
Never thought about the money issue
But there’s still a huge gap in the top tier teams and the lowly mid-majors. Remember, Robert Morris/Murray State/etc. are the elite teams in their conference. They “might” be able to compete with the bottom half of the power conferences. Not sure how much of a gap they can cover.
Surgeon General's Warning: K-State-Mizzou basketball may increase the risk of high blood pressure. Please consult your doctor prior to watching any of these games.
In theory anyway
Through in the factors that ’Nova is looking ahead and RMC has to give it their all.
Surgeon General's Warning: K-State-Mizzou basketball may increase the risk of high blood pressure. Please consult your doctor prior to watching any of these games.
Also:
Murray wasn’t the only excellent team in the OVC. Robert Morris wasn’t the only good team in the NEC — they didn’t even win the regular season title.
Really, that’s the ultimate issue. Either the NCAA has to say “Look, you guys just aren’t Division I” or they have to treat them with some semblance of equality. I mean, it’s all well and good to disregard teams that can’t beat Kansas, but this tournament is ultimately about one thing: huge, gigantic, massive piles of filthy lucre. So why reward the conferences full of “rich” teams at the expense of lesser guys? Isn’t finishing second in the NEC more relevant than finishing 8th in the Big East? The 5-8 teams in the Big East aren’t going to win the damn tournament either, after all.
This space for rent.
Quite frankly
that’s the sort of thinking that led to K-State playing in the Alamo Bowl in 1998.
This space for rent.
Another thing we have learned
Seton Hall lost at home to Texas Tech and fired its coach. St. John’s lost to Memphis. Notre Dame lost to Old Dominion. Villanova should have lost to Robert Morris.
Big East FAIL.
Ascend, ye Big 12!!
+1

Quick pace so far
with UNT not looking good on the offensive end.

Yeah it's a big school.
And we travel to Denton this year for football too.

McGruder
With the massive rejection!

And Jake has missed two layups
What the crap is this? Did you guys not see any other scores from today?
Jamar looked great
on that post play. He needs to do that more.

His jumper was awful
And the foul was stupid. It all cancels out.
Also, his rebounding has been so-so so far.
Damn
The Mean Green traveled pretty well. Very loud.
Surgeon General's Warning: K-State-Mizzou basketball may increase the risk of high blood pressure. Please consult your doctor prior to watching any of these games.
Yeah, that's sort of embarrassing for us
Not that I should talk, cause I only live two hours away, but after last week, I don’t have any money or vacation days left, or I absolutely would have gone.
I wanted to go
but I couldn’t talk TB into spending more money too.

But once you get over 5,000

there are probably some local Sooner douchebags who decided to wear green today.

I don't know
As close and big UNT is, UNT is considered third tier here in Dallas. SMU gets more publicity than UNT.

I give myself the blindfold everytime they show Frank
(you know, the eye version of ear muffs….)

Eye muffs?

It really aggravates me that during every timeout
they focus right on Frank. It’s not like every coach in America doesn’t drop bombs on their team.
This is just frightening
Murray led Vandy at the half. Sam Houston leads Baylor at the half.
The little guys are here to play today.

When will I stop picking Vandy?
First Siena, now this. Lame.
So much for that Paramount Sports dude on 810. He said it was a lock that Vandy would crush MSU. That’s why I don’t gamble.
Curtis Kelly K-State's single season blocks leader?
Take that Jason Bennett!

We're going to end up with
70 blocks this game.
Surgeon General's Warning: K-State-Mizzou basketball may increase the risk of high blood pressure. Please consult your doctor prior to watching any of these games.
Unless the Eagles start bombing from 3
I think we pull away. We’re so much taller and more physical than these guys. What do we have already, 5 blocks?
Just gotta stay outta foul trouble.
Yeah I agree
Surgeon General's Warning: K-State-Mizzou basketball may increase the risk of high blood pressure. Please consult your doctor prior to watching any of these games.
As I say that, Curtis gets tagged with his second
Craptastic.
It’s like everything is a foul just because we’re so much bigger than them.
Why doesn't that work on Trole Aldritch?

Colon's gonna get tons of minutes today because of the fouls
Not good.
And as I type that, now Wally has two. Frak.
And why are we leaving shooters wide open on the wing?
There's a guy in one of my bracket groups
who picked North Texas to win it.
I hope it’s not like the year a girl in one of my groups picked George Mason…..

I love our guards
They finally realize they need to take over and quit letting the bigs screw everything up.
Yeah, but Richmond is really good
They whacked Mizzou, among others.
Best game of the first round, for my money.
We have a JHR sighting
Listening to Harlan try to say Henriquez-Roberts several times fast in a row = funny.
We're going to win
that White kid is sitting there at the top of the key dribbling like he’s on an And1 tour.

And now Wally has jammed his finger
Great.
I want to see the Dobermans come out in the second half and just tear these guys apart. We’re playing so week in the paint on offense right now.
For the guy that said Dom is our anchor
He is BY FAR our best player right now. Not even close. But thanks for jinxing him into excellence.
I believe your feed is 30 seconds ahead of mine.

12-point lead
Don’t look now, but we’re doing better in our first-round game, with massive foul trouble, than any other team in the country thus far.
Suck it, haters. I’m talking to you, Paramount Sports guy who picked N. Texas to cover, and you, Kevin Kietzman, you used doucherag.
The fact that a 6-point lead constitutes "the gas"
against a 14 seed tells how much parity there is this year.
How many other teams
will be able to say they used 11 guys in the first half? We might be the deepest team in the country.
They have the advantage of the higher altitude.
So they’ve got that working out for them.

UNT’s only points are coming at the line. Stop. Fouling.
Shit, if Jake and Denis stay this fracking hot
We will be in the Final Four, no question.
Wow. This is amazing.
It makes you realize how good Big 12 teams are on defense
Because we haven’t had looks like this since December.

If he calms down and plays smartly he can make contributions deep into the NCAA.

Denis' first turnover of the game
With 10 minutes left. I can live with that.
The subsequent 3, however, enrages me.
You know who's REALLY overrated?
The SEC.
Florida’s out, Vandy’s out and I won’t be shocked one bit if San Diego State beats Tennessee.
Kentucky had a cakewalk this year.
LOL Big East.
I had Georgetown in my Sweet Sixteen, but if San Diego State upsets Tennessee losing the Hoyas shouldn’t hurt me at all in the end… ’cause, really, who had Ohio or SDSU escaping this weekend anyway?

So true
This morning, I had Butler in the Sweet 16, then changed it at the last minute for UTEP.
D’oh.
To make matters worse, I didn’t want UTEP in the Sweet 16, so I put Vandy there.
Double d’oh!
Should have just stuck with what I had.
Good win, but not exactly a good game for the Cats
Happy to see them win it, even with JamSam and Kelly not doing well. Bring on the Crackers!
I thought it was a great game by the Cats...great offensive rotation...good looks...rebounding.
The only time UNT was a threat was the first 7 minutes and during injury time for Pullen. Otherwise they were dominated in the paint and on the perimeter defensively. I will take six more just like it.
I'm more worried about the FTs given up and their offensive rebounds
However, you’re probably right. Even with those two issues the Cats still smoked a respectable team. I loved the FG defense if only they hadn’t fouled.
With new life in overtime
Texas is pulling away.
Lookin’ good for the Big 12 so far…
And we beat our scrub by 4 points more than KU did. I count that as a moral victory.
Third overtime game today
More than the entire tourney last year.
Kudos to the committee — good match-ups this year.
It's been entertaining
not quite as “OMFG” as the Tampa Massacre in 2008, but outside of that I can’t remember a day as topsy-turvy as this one.
This space for rent.
I think, perhaps, the more impressive thing
is that the lower seed has only been clearly outclassed in four of the sixteen games, and three of those were 15/16 seeds.
This space for rent.
Spoke too soon
Gary Johnson misses two free throws with a 1-point lead.
F**k Texas. Can’t do anything right.
Texas lost on their inability to hit FT's...insert one of my rants here.

Well Texas looked like...Texas.
On the other hand minus a couple possessions we looked like a #2 seed. Let’s hope that continues against BYU. I think we will take a step up in competition on Saturday.
