Just Some Stuff

Ok, I know that comparisons are bad, but rationalization is fairly normal. So here goes.

Know we lost by 20 and we're disappointed even though K-State is ranked #7 in both polls. Wonder how these folks feel; especially the two from the WAC & CUSA ? Higher seeds than us and less than close losses to lower seeds than K-State.

#23 Texas A&M (5 seed) 69 Utah State (12 seed) 53 ... 16 point spread (we played A&M closer in their house)

#11 Butler (5 seed) 77 UTEP (12 seed) 59 ... 18 point spread

#18 Pittsburgh (3 seed) 89 Oakland (14 seed) 66 ...23 point spread

Note: UTEP (CUSA) had 58 Top 25 votes, Utah State (WAC) 3 Top 25 votes.

Utah State had a remarkably poor shooting day today. A&M really pulled it together mid to later in the season as well. Not saying they weren't a great squad when we played them, but I think they did improve throughout.

The 2nd half of that UTEP game shocked me, had them pulling the upset in my bracket.

They did that because of adjusting to the Derrick Roland injury.

When we played them, Roland scored double digits and played over 30 minutes. We played a better Texas A&M team than the one their Big 12 opponents did.

We did too... There's a reason for this: Good Defense.
