9-0 Wildcats prepare for showdown with undefeated Connecticut

It's nice to see WCBB appreciated.

That place will be rocking - should be a great atmosphere for the game, and should get our women pumped up to play what might otherwise have been overlooked as another game against an unranked opponent.

KSU crowds can be raucous for CBB games. Should be a good atmosphere on the women's side. I expect UConn will win, but KSU is certainly no pushover.

This is a sandwich game for Uconn. It's right between Notre Dame and Ohio St. I hope the Huskies
don't have a hangover from the ND victory.

Any television? I have found none yet.

Should be on Fox Sports 1, the last I heard.

Fox Sports 1 (FS-1) at 2pm Sunday.

Kansas State WBB averages about 4,200 per game so the crowd should really help them...........

Fox Sports 1 (FS-1) at 2pm Sunday.

Thanks guys! 2 pm EST, 1 pm for CST. Just checked up on KSU. Half-ish of their wins were against (at best) exhibition-grade opponents. But they do have a flock of players at 6'1 or taller. They have wins against Auburn and LSU. Not too much beyond that.

9-0 Wildcats prepare for showdown with undefeated Connecticut

This is all good for women's basketball. A well written game preview by a student sports writer, an undefeated team eager to play before a loud full house, and a community all revved up to see the legendary UConn Huskies and their Hall of Fame Coach. Think how thrilling this will be for many local families lucky to have coveted game tickets!

No, the circus isn't coming to town. Just The Greatest Show On Earth!

Will the Crowd help K State? So many times in the past Teams facing UConn draw huge crowds because its UConn. What has happened frequently is UConn plays their normal game and the home team is facing the pressure because of the huge crowd. After coming from the ND game, the crowd won't impact the UConn players. They'll just have to have the right attitude going into the game and there's no reason why they won't.

I looked at the picture in the article and it looked like there wasn't anybody in the stands. After reading the article I don't really think they fully understand what their in for on Sunday.

I agree with you on this. But with the best coach in the game on the sidelines, im quite sure he will prescribe the right medicine in case of a hangover.

Also the crowd could make them keep the focus if they get down to K State. Sometimes that's all that's needed.

This is an exciting bball game for WCBB. Great to see the K-State fans coming out to support their team.

GO UCONN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting this. This kind of remind me of when Commecticut played UC Davis a few years ago and the place sold out quick to see KML and her teammates play. Same type of college town atmosphere but this one is bigger.

(Seriously though, the game is on FS1)

 

[BigBird]

Oh, Alex! You gentleman of infinite jest!


(Yup. Thanks. Got it.)

K-State player after the game: "We shocked the world!"...

Unlike most games at Gampel...

[ed4ourgirls]

On FS1 about 30 minutes after the UConn game you can watch Tennessee get beaten by Texas.

FS1 is 85/1085 for Cox Manchester.

Or hurt them. Remember not every team is used to playing in front of big crowds against a team like the Huskies. Should be entertaining !

And let's not forget that other than the 3 freshmen , all of UConn's players have played in FF and NC games.... So they are a little use to big screaming crowds.
