Yes, concerningWisconsin has looked like crap last few gamesKansas State, tooIU struggled at home tonight against a bad Illinois team.We need to beat X in a very bad good way.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

K State is down two of their top players. That would affect any team. I'm not certain if their return status has been determined yet, but assuming they are able to come back they should return to being a very solid team. Regardless, they were highly ranked at the time we beat them and that was widely noted. I don't see that win being greatly tarnished if KSt tumbles due to injuries to marquee players.
KSU still lost to Tulsa when they were at full strength too, though. I went through this in another thread, but they look BAD right now. Sure, losing Wade for a month or so is going to hurt, but they almost dropped games to George Mason and Southern Miss at home in the last couple weeks. Losing a guy averaging 13/7 shouldn't make that big a difference against the cupcake portion of the schedule. If they keep playing the way they have since we played them, they won't be a Q1 win. They could really drop dealing off with a tough Big 12 this year if they don't figure something out soon.
hairySpot on across the board. All Mu needs to do is win the games they should win and take care of business. If that happens, no issues in March. If they need to have the UW and KState wins help them in March, shame on them. They need to take care of business in BE the rest of the way. Saturday is a big game for the boys.
I think we have a team for the first time in probably 5 years that’s good enough where we don’t have to worry about 2nd order stuff like this. This team has the talent to control its own destiny into the tournament.If it gets to the point with this team where we’re worrying about opponents wins and losses in 10 weeks, I will find that more concerning in the big picture than just for this season alone.
MDMUWhile many are very optimistic on this team, there have been a couple of threads tracking the 2nd order stuff pretty closely for two months. I have never been believer in 2nd order stuff, but judging by threads on here, many think it MU needs that help to improve their possession in March. That said, I definitely agree with your comment on what is the talk 10 weeks out. If folks are talking about 2nd order stuff, the team is either not good enough or under performed.
K-State has already dropped from a Q1 win to a Q2 win. They would have to drop another 20 spots to fall to Q3 which is unlikely. They would also have to gain 20+ spots to get back up to Q1, also unlikely.
Their next 4 games are all tough. It's not out of the question for them to go 1-3 or even 0-4. That could drop them another 20 points, don't you think?
