Frank Martin. Really? What’s the deal? Honestly. So he goes on every single freaking media outlet he could find to discuss the travesty that resulted when his team didn’t make the NCAA Tournament. Why didn’t they make it? Well:
1) They’re terrible
2) They played an extremely soft non-conference schedule
3) They lost several of those soft matchups in the non-conference schedule
4) Their RPI was so bad that I’m surprised they are in a BCS conference
5) They were 10-11 against teams in the top 200
6) Seriously, look at #5 again
But here’s the thing about K-State fans – They love to play the disrespect card. They still talk about how they shoulda made some BCS game but didn’t (and they showed they belonged by losing their non-BCS bowl game). It’s part of their culture to whine. So maybe Frank is just trying to play to the crowd. He can’t really be that stupid can he? Obviously they don’t belong.
Anyway, just to emphasize the fact that they didn’t belong, they came out and nearly blew a home game in their opener of the NIT. It was against some school I didn’t know existed. It wasn’t even televised locally, much less nationally. Only a last second tip-in got them to the second round. That’s where they ran into the basketball powerhouse San Diego State University. I mean SDSU starts 5 All-Americans and has 4 more on the bench right? Actually they finished 4th in the Mountain West. Fairly average in a weak non-BCS conference.
End result?
Can we petition the Big 12 to kick K-State out now? Maybe San Diego State would like to join?
