The Cats are in the tournament. I thought the Cats would be a 6 seed and they are a 5 seed. K-State plays Utah State, this is a good basketball team, the Cats will have to be sharp if they are going to win. If they come out and play like they did against Colorado, the Cats could be beat by Utah State. The key for the the Cats is their defense. If they bring their defense the Cats should win this one. I can't believe Colorado didn't make the field, wow, that is a shocker. If the Cats can get by their first game, look for them to do well in the tournament. From the rumor board, Coach Martin's name has been mentioned in some coaching vacancies, the latest one is Arkansas. Arkansas feels coach Martin is theirs if they offer him. I'm not so sure about that Arkansas. I don't see coach Martin going to Arkansas, he'll be loyal to K-State on this one.
On to Football, where there is not much going on these days, we will get more stories as soon as they start spring practice. It looks like the players won't be able to Tweet this season. Coach was not happy with a couple of players who sent out some controversial tweets, so that privilege will be gone. From my point of view, the Cats should be quicker on the defensive side this year, but I think a couple of freshman will see considerable playing time. My guess is freshman Hunter Davis and Ian Seau, at defensive end could see some playing time, both have decent size and speed to play. Last year we were thin in numbers on defense and especially on the defensive line, We can thank Coach Prince for our lack of numbers last year, remember the 19 junior college kids he signed, that is why we were short on player numbers, it was almost like K-State was on some kinda of probation by the player numbers we have. That's all from the Kstatetriot this week, don't forget to cheer on the cats at the tournament starting this Thursday.

Kstatetriot: Cats finish regular season on a roll
Kansas State finished the regular season with an OK performance against the Iowa State Cyclones. The Cyclones have a good offense, and have been playing much better as of late, so the game was close. The game was highlighted by senior night, and K-State honored the careers of Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly. Both players were emotional during the ceremony, Kelly in an interview commented on how K-State "saved his life." Pullen kissed the powercat at half court as he had played his last game at Bramledge coliseum. The Cats will play the winner of Iowa State and Colorado on Thursday 3pm EST, and if they when this game will have a chance to play KU on Friday night. Pullen is a unanimous 1st team all Big 12 selection. I thought he would win Player of the Year award, but Marcus Morris of KU edged him out. Look for K-State to be as high as a 4 seed in the NCAA tournament, if they can win a couple of games in the Big 12 tournament. Still on the rumor board, Wally Judge may be coming back next year to play for Frank Martin's Wildcats.
On to Football, K-State picked up a late edition on the defensive line, where they landed6'6" 290lb Bo Tillman, a Junior College transfer who chose K-State over Auburn. This is a good pick up for Coach Snyder, and should give the Cats some immediate help along the interior defensive line. Coach Snyder also picked up a commitment from a talented quarterback this weekend, when Tavarious Bender committed to play for Coach Snyder's Wildcats. The unusual thing about Bender's commitment is he comes from Bo Pelini's back yard, Lincoln Nebraska. So why doesn't Bender sign with NU, well maybe because NU is loaded with underclassmen quarterbacks. Bender is a good sized quarterback and fits what Coach Snyder likes in his quarterbacks, he is listed as 6'3" tall, weighs 210lbs, with a strong arm, and has 4.4 timed 40 yard dash. Bender says he has finished his recruitment and is "rock solid" with K-State. Lets hope this holds true, because the big colleges will surely come knocking on his door seeking his services, he is a very talented prospect. That's all from the Kstatetriot this week.
