NCAA selections

I wish nothing but the worst for Marcus Foster - he single handedly turned this program for the worst right when they were poised to turn the corner. Hopefully he suffers a career ending injury in the game - that would be irony - yeah I’m mad at him i don’t know him personally and could care less - what he did was selfish and damaging to a team and coaching staff that had faith in him

"At any rate, Fitz said, tonight on The Drive, that he thought it was a low blow by the committee because Marcus Foster will have to answer questions all week as to what happened, does he hold any grudges and stuff like that."

I agree. Then the NCAA wonders why the opinion of them is what it is. Of course the media lap dogs will do their thing. I think if I were McDermott, Foster would be off-limits all week.

Is Creighton overseeded then? We should and will are vastly different. I don't think we will if we don't have Wade and Brown 100%. I don't think that performance against KU with our backups will be repeated especially after a week when the other team can prepare. My enthusiasm will be tempered until someone says " they are playing"

I've watched creighton about 10 times this year. creighton is a incredibly tough match up. couple of bigs who can shoot outside 3's like Wisco of old. Foster right there with them, plus he's a very good slasher to the basket.

creighton was ranked in top 10 for a portion of the season.

anyone thinking 'this should be a lock' is not firing on all cylinders.

Other than the part about him getting hurt, I agree with this. I told my buddy as soon as the matchup was announced, "if there are basketball gods out there, no way should they let that guy win this game. He single-handedly destroyed two seasons of KSU basketball. I want Foster to go 0-20 Friday and get embarrassed.

Fans can have the luxury of making these things personal, but the team has to do the exact opposite. KSU needs to make sure this remains a five-on-five game, which probably favors KSU if everyone is healthy. Don't let this game be all about Foster because he is the type of player who responds to that kind of pressure when his head is on straight, as KSU fans should know.

The plan for KSU should be to neutralize the guard play as much as possible, and then beat Creighton on the inside with Dean and Makol. Creighton is a good team, but they don't have the interior quality or depth of many Big 12 teams. KSU needs to play its game instead of getting into a guard shootout with Creighton in my opinion.

They don't do these things on purpose. With a 1000 transfers a year, this type of thing is bound to happen. Nobody outside of KSU, Creighton, & the complete die-hards even remember Foster at KSU. It's been 3 years. I've blocked it out because he was such an ass as a sophomore.

If they really did things on purpose, it would have been easier to match KSU up w Missouri which would have had way more National appeal, or better yet, make Mizery KU's 8/9 matchup.

I'm a little bitter about the impact of the 'Foster Fiasco' on the basketball program like some of the others on this board as well.

However, those of you that wish ill upon the young man better not have done anything foolish and selfish when you were in college....

Don't you think it will be ratcheted up this week however?

Bruce needs to walk out before the game and tell Mr. Foster, sorry to have to end your career but you almost ruined mine. Tell the team "I am coming and Hell is coming with me" ala Tombstone. Maybe even wear boots and cowboy hat.

Without a doubt...and it should be. It's good to have story-lines.

I just don't think it's intentional.
