Two teams which both went 10-2 in the main portion of their non-conference schedule, both really needing another solid non-conference win to boost potential resumes come mid-March. K-State is 2-1 against the SEC this year, which means a win would leave the Wildcats right in the thick of the SEC race.
You know, at least as far as we're concerned.
