The 1/16 seed game analyses are the best...

MOUNT ST. MARY'S (16)

Best Case: Band shows up. Cheerleaders have their hair done. Fans make it to their seats on time. Parents get pictures from pregame introductions. Nobody gets hurt. And nobody can take away that win over Coppin State on Tuesday.

Worst Case: North Carolina comes to play from the opening tip. CBS cuts away to other action after the first TV timeout.

..
PORTLAND STATE (16)

Best Case: Kansas forgets to sew NCAA logos onto uniforms and gets hit with five technical fouls before the jump ball, and the Vikings make four free throws. Coaches decide it will never get any better than that, pull the team off the floor and go home.

KANSAS STATE (11)

Best Case: Wildcats lose a classic to USC but enjoy their first trip to the tournament since 1996. So much so, in fact, that Beasley and Bill Walker decide they really are too young and immature to go pro, and they return for their sophomore seasons. Kansas gags prior to the Final Four yet again.

Worst Case: Wildcats melt down against USC defense and lose handily. Players listen to Frank Martin once every six trips downcourt on their way to a sixth loss in their final eight games. Beasley and Walker don't even get their uniforms off before signing with agents. Kansas wins national title.

I like how in both, they lose to USC.

Yeah, we've seen that one man shows, e.g. Kevin Durant does not make for very good runs in the tourney..

Really? I kinda thought the opposite after their slobberfest for Huggins and the basketball team last year. They didn't do that when he went to West Virginia, and they mention Beasley a lot. Its not their fault K-State has not done anything really worthwhile, other than finally beating KU in Bramlage, this season. Sure Beasley's been a beast sometimes, but they've also choked some (say, the time Beasley said he was going to go for 50 when the entire team only scored 60 something and lost to Nebraska).

I was pointing out a mistake. It's like when people type ya'll instead of y'all.

We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

Yeah, that they did, and at OU even (and KSU has not been a good road team this season). Hey, I'm not saying they aren't good (as evidenced by them handily beating USC). I'm actually glad that there's starting to be parity between the two big Kansas schools, in both football and basketball. K-State's AD, which I feel is a big part of why they've fallen off so much in the last 5 years or so (and I also think the whole Huggins thing is mostly his fault), is gone, and Prince will maybe be gone soon as well. Those are the two main things that I have an issue with. I've never really been a K-State fan (not a big college sports fan in general, although I keep up with it a lot), but it'd be nice to see them both be consistently good, and maybe even great now and again (I think a repeat of '88 would be pretty good for both schools).
