"I log on to RCT after school, and I see the 228 comments on this thread. I actually immediately panicked, because knowing KC, I figured some other fan from another school (most likely Mizzou) came over and said something stupid. Then, KC freaked out at him, and said something stupid (no offense, KC, but this really wouldn’t be that extraordinary for you to pull off) and then there was mass hysteria. I would have to ban people, and warn people, and it’d be mass chaos." - SlowDance

Big12 is certainly making a statement this tourney...

and it probably stings the most for Kansas State and Frank Martin who finished 4th and didn’t make the cut.

I would just like to say that I distinctly said in the Selection Sunday thread that this was a possibility. When the matchups were announced I said something along the lines of “Oh damn OSU could make the Sweet 16”.

Maybe moving away from all of the intensity and thing has made me oblivious to the mindlessness.

I have to leave in a second, so this will have to be fast...

(obviously, much more throughout the week…)

1) Anything Smash provides us — he hasn’t been too hot, as of late, but he was pretty much awesome today. If he can keep that up, then that’s something that we didn’t have (5 minutes against MSU, right?) back then.

2) Much, much better T2

3) Development of Morrises — particularly Marcus

4) No slump for Sherron

5) Better defensively

6) No Breslin Center nonsense to deal with

7) More practice time with FHOFNCOYDNCHCBS

That should be it, though.
