This is a huge game anyway. It helps determine bragging rights in the state of Kansas and features 2 very proud fan bases and programs (even if K-State's sense of pride befuddles some). More importantly this time around, Kansas will be #1 in the nation if they can win today. Which is much easier said than done.
Bramlage Coliseum (I refuse to call it the Octagon of Doom!) is a very tough place to play. And you know K-State is going to be absolutely jacked up for this one. But, as much as it pains me to say it, Kansas is a damn good basketball team. The Wildcats are going to have to figure out some way to stop Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich, and that takes more than a loud student section.
My prediction: Kansas is the top team in the country come Monday morning.
