Cougs to travel to K-State in Hardwood series on Dec. 5

K-State might not be the sexiest name in the Big 12, but what a nice little test for the Cougs right out of the gate in Ken Bone's first season.

The Wildcats were an NCAA Tournament team in 2007-08 behind Michael Beasley, but recovered from the losses of Beasley and Bill Walker to make it to the second round of the NIT this year, posting 22 wins in the process. (They did finish below the Cougs in Pomeroy Rating, though -- 44th -- and I'm sure the Cougs could have made it out of the first round had they played KSU's first-round opponent.)

What makes this a tough test early in the year is that the Wildcats return every player but one, and add this guy to the mix:

Never hurts to have a McDonald's All-American joining an already talented squad, huh? He and DeAngelo Casto ought to have some fun mixing it up.

KSU likely will be a team ranked at the fringes of the Top 25 heading into the season. They'll make a return trip to Pullman in December 2010.

So he can dunk...

Can he do anything else? It’s not like a whole lot of dunk opportunities will come up in a game against WSU, at least not with the preventative pack-defense that we are use to seeing… who knows what our defense will look like under Coach Bone…

Well I can guarantee with his size and athleticism

he is a monster on the boards. Plus he is a McDonald’s All-American, so odds are he can do more than dunk.

This is where per game statistics go to die.

Cal gets Iowa f***ing State?

What the hell is that? 3rd place Pac-10 team plays 10th place Big 12 team?

OK. Way to go, guys. Very classy.

Yeah, that one seems a little off

Considering Cal will likely be picked by more than a few people to win the conference. I would have liked to have seen Cal match up with Missouri instead of Oregon.

I could BS and told you I knew

But I’d be lying. I’m guessing it has to do at least somewhat with appealing television matchups and putting “like” opponents against each other. There’s a reason UCLA and Kansas are playing against each other …

and UCLA and Texas were in the last go round

So UCLA-Oklahoma for round three?

This is where per game statistics go to die.

Eh, screw the Bears

They keep wanting to kick Wazzu out of the Pac-10.
