K-State Slate: 1.17.11

by TB on Jan 17, 2011 7:32 AM CST in News

A few housekeeping notes first. I apologize for not getting a Slate posted on Friday. There's a good reason for it, but let's just say it involves my day job, a very early alarm clock and a bit of a drive.

Second, I owe you basketball recaps for the Colorado and Texas Tech games. I was going to post that yesterday, but ran out of time to work on it. We'll do a recap that includes the Missouri game tomorrow or Wednesday.

Speaking of Mizzou, K-State travels to Columbia today for an MLK Matinee. Tipoff is at 4:30 p.m. from Mizzou Arena. The Tigers are coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss to Texas A&M in College Station.

From Rock M Nation, Know Your Wounded Rival. Bill has an excellent analysis of today's game. Of course, I hope he's about four points off in his predicted score, but given where we were after last Wednesday night, a three-point loss wouldn't be the worst-case scenario.

Going back to Saturday, Texas Tech ran into an angry bunch of Wildcats. Before the game, I texted back and forth with Seth of Double T Nation, and he told me to "[e]xpect the worst defense ever." At halftime, with 52 points on the board for K-State, he asked if he had oversold how terrible Tech's defense was.

Curtis Kelly played well in his return from suspension. More, please.

Mike Anderson has made comments about officiating a couple times this year. Mike DeArmond wonders if Anderson will be fined. I find the whole thing a little ironic.

I always like Bill's stats about KSU teams

The TOs have driven me nuts for weeks and I think they’ll doom the Cats at MU.

Wow you must have ESPN.

I set my DVR to record this game with 30 minutes of extended time.

I fear that it won’t be enough because I forgot who are playing Mizzou. Only K-State basketball can turn Mizzou’s “Fastest 40 Minutes” into the slowest 40 minutes of TV time ever.

It's been a year since I've changed my signature

Just as a precaution, I advise everyone to visit their doctors after the game to check for high blood pressure.

Hey guys!

Fun to see you all in CoMo again! Should be a battle today, and I wish you all good luck.

Meanwhile, we (over at RMN) are having a caption contest with another great picture of Frank. I’m sure that you all might have something witty to add.

Please drop by for some light banter.

Chance for payback

to the Big East. Every year on Big Mondays we the Big 12 have to miss the start of our games so we can watch the end of a Big East game. While we will probably miss the first few minutes of our KSU game today, just maybe our game will run late and make the Big East miss the first few minutes of their game!!
