Expect to face KSU not USC if we get that far

[Blue Huskie]

Obviously, it is possible for K-State to win but let’s face it, they are going to need help from USC in order for that to happen. USC has to play poorly and KSU well. Fortunately for Kansas State fans, the two big stars for USC (Watkins & Iriafen) do occasionally go off the rails and have horrendous shooting games.
Anyway, USC still has to get through Mississippi State! I doubt it will happen, but USC does seem to have games where they have trouble putting the ball in the basket! All it takes is for that to coincide with an opponent’s hot hand and it’s Bye Bye Trojans! (Yet another reason to be thankful for Geno’s attention to our defense.)
I expect we (assuming we get there) will indeed be playing USC but I don’t think it would be totally shocking if they got knocked off. One and done, Baby! One bad game is all it takes in this format!

Well unfortunately for all of college basketball the injury to JuJu tonight (If as bad as it seems) will certainly make an upset by KSU a much greater possibility.

Please don’t make any more predictions. Especially when it pertains to UConn

I'm pulling for Kansas State just cuz I really like Sundell and Lee. But I actually wouldn't be surprised if USC still won without juju. They have a lot of talent still and Kiki iriafen who will go top 5 in the draft. Their freshman are fearless. I don't get tvo struggling so much offensively but she will be tough on defense. They are just a bit more athletic than KSU and can throw multiple bodies ayoka lee while running her out the gym

KSU has Ayoka Lee back. Before her first injury they were playing awfully well, just going by scores. It wasn’t against top competition but still.

And they destroyed Fairfield.

If they win and USC wins, it will be tough for USC not to look past them
knowing UConn would be next.p (if we are fortunate enough to advance that far).

You heard it hear first.

Not to be. They couldn’t pull it out without Watkins playing so I imagine if JUJU played KU Would have been badly beaten.

Sundell 22 6 and 6. Lee had a double double, but the USC freshman seemed like they had their moment. USC is really tough. Probably more athletic and just super physical at every position. They also have nothing to lose. It will be a tough game. Will need Azzi to really lock in.

KSU had their chances but missed so many shots in the last few minutes. USC will need to up their game if they want to compete with us.

I was hoping KSU could pull off the upset. They almost did.

KS had their chances for sure. Sloppy at times and just poor shooting at other times. USC took advantage and edged it out.

Monday will be a tough game, but I think UConn's experience will prevail.

USC is playing on heart, but it is getting harder and harder without Juju and you can see them getting visibly tired as the emotions wane. They have Kiki and a couple of freshman and the pressure of playing in the elite eight. And against the now tourney favorite...
