The WCN Prediction Contest Never Got a Sweet 16: Kansas State Edition

[Joneslab]

So here we are in a place nobody thought we'd be. The Cats have had their bracket crack open like an egg, the Pat Fordes of the world are furious, and at the same time they're playing their best basketball of the season. If you can take more good news, Kentucky rolls into Catlanta, a city that's traditionally very hard to beat them in, against a team whose resume really doesn't have much going for it. On the downside Kansas St. will get its better player back from injury, and Kentucky hasn't fared as well this season against the muck-it-up teams--which Kansas St. is in spades.

Let's hope these kids can keep this going. It's been a lot of fun so far. My prediction:

Kansas St. 64
Kentucky 71

[KevinHall]

Low scoring, ugly win for the Cats, the Kentucky version.

UK 65
K-State 56

The games is on CBS and is the 2nd game that night which means it will start appx 9:45 pm.

UK - 76

K St - 66

K ST is a solid team but UK would have to have major issues not to win this game. Will be ugly at times but I think they move on to the Elite 8

UK - 69
KST - 63

UK. 70
KSt. 61

We hit 70 on late ft's.

[Lighthouse]

Really don't know what to expect in this game. It will probably be like most of you say, muddy and ugly.

UK 73
KSU 62

At this point, the obvious strategy is to see what TBCF predicts, then move the needle by a point in one direction or the other.

[Joneslab]

At this point when TBCF predicts a Kentucky win I honestly feel a little better. It's like waiting for the Vegas line to come out.

[Chaz]

TBCF has been on a roll lately.
Muck it up or not
