I’ll be honest. I’m exhausted writing about the K-State men’s basketball team. I’m also exhausted watching them. I love college basketball and following this program the last few years has been soul-crushing. I try to be as positive as I can and write about the positives that I see, but it’s difficult. Heck, the K-State Family group on Facebook won’t even post my basketball columns there because they’re not positive enough. I don’t blame them, I guess. I just call it as I see it and I always will. The best thing about watching the game last night was texting buddies during the game trying to guess how many points Baylor was going to win by. That’s sad but true. The Cats lost 74-49 to Baylor and they were never in the game. They got behind big early and never had a chance.

There are eleven regular-season games left. I’m sure they’ll win a few and I’ll write about them as they happen. I’m just ready for a change and I’m ready for a time in the future when I will be excited about Kansas State basketball again.

JM: I’m just going to leave it at that. Not much to break down in this one.
