Kansas State, you will always be remembered as Coach K's 800th victory. Yeah, you'd probably like to forget last night -- and you should -- because the Duke Blue Devils rolled to an 82-68 victory.
K-State All-American guard Jacob Pullen and his neck beard was horrible, shooting 1-of-12 from the field and committing four of the Wildcats' 21 turnovers. Terrible night for the EMAW crowd -- and I wonder if it was bad karma for Frank Martin's dig at Mount St. Mary's.
In the buildup to the game, Martin told reporters who asked how he'd prepare the Cats to face the No. 1 team in the nation that he wasn't concerned because:
That didn't sit well with the Mountaineer faithful, who unleashed their wrath in the comments section of this post. Here's a sampling:"It's not like we're Mount St. Mary's. We've played these kinds of games before."

Frank Martin, you have made a powerful enemy. Next time, save the digs for Maryland Eastern Shore.Frank Martin, watch yourself. The Mount is not a force to taken
likely nor to be made the blunt of a joke. Mounties are everywhere and
anywhere. They are more passionate about basketball and their university
than your university could possibly ever be. While they may be one of
the smallest schools in Division I basketball, they (and their fans)
have more heart than most in the game. Do you remember the game during
The Big Dance in March 2008 when The Mount played North Carolina? In a

they were the LOUDEST in the place. You better hope that the
mountaineers don't make it the march madness.
