Let’s get this out there up front: while there’s certainly a possibility that Kansas State will win the Big 12 tournament next week, it’s not a realistic dream. Running the gauntlet which will be facing the BatCats in Oklahoma City is an unreasonable expectation.
Which means any hope K-State (29-20, 8-13) has of finding its way into an NCAA regional involves doing something almost as unlikely this weekend: taking a series from visiting TCU, preferably in a sweep. Of course, there’s a problem; TCU is ranked fifth in the country, sitting at 35-14 (16-5).
