[All we do is Guyn]

I don't understand betting lines, is Vegas predicting us to win today? If so by how much?

Last I saw we were a 3.5 point favorite.

Both ESPN and CBS show us at -4.

Have had the feeling all day that we're to to kill them.

I wish I had that feeling. Or felt optimistic

They hung with or beat teams just as good or better than us this year. Hopefully good UC shows up today and we don't fall in love with the 3 or I think we're in trouble. They definitely aren't a bad team.

I think the worst thing for people who don't see KState much to see was them scoring 95 on Tuesday. But that's not who they are. We will make life extremely difficult for them. Iwundu won't just run straight to the hoop from the 3 point line for a dunk in the halfcourt. They won't shoot 25/31 from 2 with 24 made FT on top of that. If Washington AND Clark not only get in foul trouble, but get in it to the point where they barely play, we might be in trouble. But that's not very realistic. It would be really nice if Kevin Johnson hit 2-3 3s. He can't just not score.

They beat Baylor, who is 5-6 in their last 11 games. They beat Oklahoma State before they hit their stride (Oklahoma State won later in the year at KState). What am I missing? And they also lost by 30 to Oklahoma at the end of the year.

I should have rephrased it. Im just not confident when it comes to teams I root for and tournaments

That they have the ability to beat good teams. It's not exactly as if we have an eye popping resume to hang our hats on. We got waxed twice by the best team we played and if there was 2 more minutes probably would have lost the other time.
