No. 2 seed Kansas St. Wildcats (27-7) VS. No. 7 seed BYU Cougars (30-5)
NCAA Tournament — Second Round
Ford Center — Oklahoma City, Okla.
Saturday, March 20 — approx. 7:10 PM CST
CBS Sports | March Madness On Demand
It's Wildcat Nation versus the Church of Latter-Day Saints tonight in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
All the hype the past two days has been for Jimmer Fredette, but while everyone worries about how K-State will stop him, I instead ask the following question:
How will BYU stop Denis Clemente, Curtis Kelly, Jacob Pullen and Jamar Samuels?
It's time to avenge the Cotton Bowl!
For K-State's game notes, follow the jump.
From the K-State Sports Information Department:
No. 2 seed Kansas State (27-7, 11-5 Big 12) will play No. 7 seed BYU (30-5, 13-3 Mountain West) in the West Region second round Saturday night at approximately 7:10 p.m., at Ford Center.
The winner will earn a spot in the regional semifinals, to be held Thursday, March 25, at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.
It will mark the team's 35th game of the season, which will tie the 2006-07 squad for the most in school history.
Starts by Denis Clemente, Curtis Kelly and Jacob Pullen on Saturday would give them 35 in a single season, which would tie David Hoskins (2006-07) for the most.
The Wildcats continued their school-record season for wins Thursday with their 27th in an 82-62 victory over No. 15 seed North Texas.
The win ended the Mean Green's winning streak at 11 games, which was tied for the third-longest in the country.
The squad used a balanced scoring attack, with four players in double figures, as well as a stifling defensive effort to earn their second NCAA Tournament win in the last three seasons.
The team held North Texas to its second-fewest points of the season on just 30.8-percent shooting, including just 20.8 percent in the first half, while scoring 17 points off 16 turnovers.
Senior Denis Clemente led K-State with 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including a 3-of-7 effort from 3-point range, to go with a team-high six assists, while juniors Curtis Kelly and Jacob Pullen added 15 points each.
It marked the 24th time this season that at least four players scored in double figures, with the Wildcats holding a 21-3 mark in those contests.
Pullen now has scored in double figures in 34 consecutive games, while Clemente has done so 15 straight times.

Am I really seeing this? Will KU find a way?

I just keep thinking that there's no way they're going to lose this game.

Holy crap.
I’m torn. I mean, bad loss for the Big 12, and my bracket just got blown to hell.
On the other hand… well… giggle.

I still think KU is going to pull this one out of their ass...
There are undoubtedly at least 100 KU fans selling their soul to Satan to win this game.
At least 84% of them have already booked all of their shit for St. Louis next week.

Really???
BracketCat, you are a uneducated loser. I dont have a problem with you saying that BYU cant keep up with Kansas St or that its “time to avenge the Cotton Bowl”. Props to you for believing in your team and supporting them but what annoys me is the fact that you say that this game is Wildcat Nation vs the LDS Church. Sure the university is owned by the church but not all the players, students or fans are members of the LDS Church. You should try to do more research before you go ranting about the church and making fun of things that you have no idea about. Just thought I would throw that out there. Good luck to K-State (dont get beaten too badly) and no matter what, we will still have the Cotton Bowl forever more!!! :)
Lighten up, Francis.
It was a joke.

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
Even that was too much attention.
After all, BC said nothing whatsoever that could be construed as ranting about any church or making fun of anyone. Francis is a little high-strung, I think.

sounds like you just got cast into outerdarkness!!!!!!
I’ve refrained from the mormon bashing but that seems to open up the doors to whatever we need to say…. but i will refrain for now….
You have no idea how hard I'm restraining myself overall.
Every hotel in the universe has a copy of the ‘Book of Mormon’ in it. I’ve thumbed through a lot of it.
You would not believe the shit that’s in there. I’m serious.
But, hey, we’re all about tolerance around here, so…we’ll refrain.

P.S. My best friend is Mormon
I respect a lot of things about the LDS church. So don’t make assumptions.
I made a broad generalization for humorous effect. Nowhere in my comments was there a value judgment, stated or implied.
Perhaps your overreaction says something about you, not me.
Ahhhhhhhhh!

Okay, I shouldn't say this, but even if we lose tonight, I'm still kind of happy.

For those of you who will undoubtedly read this and e-mail me on Monday (and I know who you are), you should expect this by now.

In fact, I’m not terribly concerned at this point. I think we’re going to win this game on the boards, and BYU is demonstrating a propensity for fouling under the basket, which is just fine with me too.

Oh, wow.
I’m 8-8 on the women’s bracket so far. And I was just pulling picks out of my butt…

I've been doing the women's bracket as long as they've had it
and it’s ironic that despite the relative lack of intel, in general it seems people do better spotting the upset landmines than they do in the men’s bracket. It’s really strange.
This space for rent.
Yeah, but
for instance, one year Marist scored a “big” upset over Ohio State, and I’m not kidding — about 38% of brackets picked the upset, even though what press coverage there was didn’t even hint that it was an upset special.
This space for rent.
If UConn loses any time this tournament, where does it rank in all-time sports upsets?
The sportswriter at the paper says biggest upset in women’s sports ever.
Wally has given us some quality minutes, too.
Six rebounds in the first half? Plus converting the and-one.
I think the Washington win is the second most surprising of the tourney
Where did that team come from?
Just keep playing like that Cats did in the last...15 minutes or so and this will be a rout
Too bad Colon is coming back in ):

Fredette is like that guy, but he’s just doing it at the D1 level. He’d be amazing in the Euroleague.

What do you think the odds are?
That tomorrow’s KC, Topeka, and Wichita papers lead sports with KU losing, rather than K-State winning?
Great line from Gregg Doyel:
Kansas led just once. It was 2-0. Other than the opening score of 0-0, this game was never even tied.
And you’re going to cry after the game, Kansas? Don’t bother. Too late. Nobody wants to hear that crap now.
The bottom line: Kansas lost because they didn't have Big 12 refs bailing them out...
Everyone in the Big 12 knew that as soon as they got out of the conference and wouldn’t get every call, they were vulnerable.
I’m dead serious.
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 completely agree....
it was obvious KU didn’t respect NIU and figured they’d make a late run with favorable calls. They can get away with that during conference play, not in late March.
I thought this too about the refs.
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!
You know...
I was just a kid in 1988 and ever since then I’ve had to watch KU play in the tournament while we thumbed our sack at home or in the NIT. I’m enjoying every second of this. Every. Single. Fucking. Second.
Same here. I was seven in 1988...
