Forget winning out. If CU wins 5 of their next 6, they are likely in. It is more likely that they go 3-3 or 4-2, but they aren't as far of a longshot as the Creighton obsessed haters on this board try to make them out to be.

Damn...look at Chuck spreadin the love. lol

I'm listening to Sports Daily and about ready to turn it off. I really liked Jason Albret at first but it's clear he has too much P5 in him. They've spent the entire hour talking about Kansas State basketball. Really? He thinks KSU gets in with an 8-10 conference record, simply based off the Big XII getting teams in with that record last year. No comparison with other teams on the bubble. No resume talk about KState. Just simply stating an 8-10 conference record would be enough to get in. Even was considering 7-11 might have a chance.

Is this **** for real? Is there anybody sane out there that wants to talk about college basketball?

Absolutely embarrassing.

Putting aside my hatred for Creighton, I still think that their awful non-conference schedule (pushing 300 territory) will bite them in the backsides...or at least it should.

Looks like the Selection Committee, as they do every year, will be conducting a "Mock Tournament Selection". Some highlights:

The committee is meeting in Indianapolis, kind of a refresher course for the veterans and a chance for new members - Ohio University athletic director Jim Schaus and Duke athletic director Kevin White - to get a chance to see the process in action.

''Usually there are between nine and 11 conferences that could send multiple teams to the tournament,'' Castiglione said. ''This year I could make a case for 14 leagues to get multiple bids if a team doesn't win the automatic berth, and that's going to make for an exciting stretch run.

Castiglione said injuries, suspensions and midseason eligibles will all be considered when a team is discussed, and he said the suspensions include those of coaches.

The rule is anybody with a connection to the school being discussed must leave the room.

Ultimately, looks like good news for the Shocks.

Suspensions should never be considered. Ever. Suspensions happen because someone did something stupid and is being punished. It shouldn't be rewarded.

And I'm maybe ok with considering that a team now has a midseason eligible player, so they might be slightly better than their record, but they should receive no such consideration for losses without that player. That was the way the team chose to construct their team for the year.

I was listening as well until my ears began to bleed listening to Savage...doesn't that name fit him well. So, how about you call in and get the shat straight. All of SN would like to hear what you sound like. Say something about their moronic opinion about K-State's situation just so we know its you.

Yet, if Steph Curry was suspended 4 games for "violating team rules" with no further explanation, and Davidson dropped those 4 games, then went on a tear to end the season, I think one has to consider the suspension when evaluating a team's status for the tourney.

I don't. They lost those 4 games because of something completely within their control. They earned those losses, they should keep them, and at full value.

I dont know. Maybe getting creighton in the first round would be like getting a bye. Plus, wasnt it rumored that theybwere going back on the schedule next year? That wpuld just be one more tourney team on the noncon

Getting Creighton in the Sweet 16 is an automatic bye.

Getting Creighton in the Sweet 16 is an automatic bye.

But has anyone ever encountered that? :)

Sign me up as someone who thinks KSU gets in at 8-10 in conference but not 7-11. They have to go 5-2 in conference to end the year to get there. Their worst loss is better than ours..... Remaining Big 12 schedule for them
