No coach this side of Diego Simeone instills the sort of belief in his troops as does Jerome Tang, whose K-State displays this unshakable resilience time and time again, rallying from 10 down at half to take out Texas in the Big 12 at Kansas City last night and stay on the bubble for another day. Consider, too, a 6-1 mark the last seven as a dog for the Wildcats, not to mention a 12-0 SU mark in OTs ("Let's Play 45!") since last year for Tang. KSU also stayed on the bubble after taking out ISU last weekend at Bramlage, and the Cyclones enter T-Mobile Center with their ticket to the Dance already punched. Play KSU (Big 12 at Kansas City)

Last season's NCAA Tournament run for Kansas State was all about "crazy faith" and that's what's going to be needed to keep the Wildcats' Big 12 Tournament run alive against the pesky Iowa State defense. But there might be some crazy faith vibes for Jerome Tang's squad after they overcame a 10-point halftime deficit against Texas to win on Wednesday night. The Wildcats' confidence should be soaring, I think they keep it tight in Iowa State's tournament debut.
