The Big Eight's sweet six
Last year the Big Eight placed six teams in the NCAA tournament, more than any other conference. This year, the Big Eight was tied for the Atlantic Coast Conference for the honor.
Oklahoma State's Sweet Sixteen appearance was made possible by a perfect performance in the NCAA Tournament last year.

Coach hopes 'Cats control tempo
Kansas State opens NCAA Tournament against Green Wave
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — Tempo will be the key to tomorrow's first-round NCAA tournament game between Kansas State and Tulane, says Dana Altran, coach of the sixth-seeded Wildcats.
"It will be a matchup of their athleticism against our ability to, hopefully, control the tempo of the game," Altman said. "How we handle Tulane's pressure will determine how we do in the ball game."
The 19-10 Wildcats, making their first NCAA appearance in Altman's three seasons at Kansas State, will meet a 21.8 Tulane team that climbed as high as No. 16 in The Associated Press poll before losing four of its last five games. The teams meet at Orlando, Fla., in the opening round of the Southeast Regional.
"We're excited about going to Orlando, Altman said. "Being a sixth seed, that's a surprise. We were figuring anywhere from maybe an eighth
through a 10th, but I think our performance over the weekend really helped us."
At the Big Eight Conference Tournament in Kansas City, Ms. the Wildcats made it to the championship game, knocking off Nebraska 47-45 and Kansas 74-67 before losing to Missouri.
"It was a very good week," Altman said. "It may have helped us to have the selection committee watching our game against Kansas. We played pretty well, and the way the team handled itself may have helped us."
Tomorrow's game will be the third between Kansas State and 11th-seeded Tulane, and the first in 17 years. The series stands at 1-1. The only common opponent this season was Temple, which beat Tulane 79-57 and lost to Kansas State 86-63.
"The their style is quite a bit different from anybody we've played." Altman said of the Green Wave. "If there was one of our opponents that was similar it would be Oklahoma, because of their athleticism and their trapping defense. But they are more unpredictable in their traps and defensive schemes than Oklahoma. It's going to
be a tough game for us."
Tulane has forced opponents into an average of 20.8 turnovers a game.
With the smallest starting lineup in the Big Eight, Kansas State still has managed to outrebound 21 of 29 foes this season. Junior center Deryl Cunningham, the tallest starter at 6-foot-7, finished third in the conference in *rebounding with an average of 8.6*.
In their first game at the conference tournament, the Wildcats outrebounded the much taller Cornhuskers 38-26, with 6-foot-6 Aaron Collier grabbing 10 and Cunningham nine.
"Against Nebraska, we did what we had to do," Alman said. "We did not shoot the ball well. Offensively we hit it, but the players found a way to win."
Altman said Tulane's inside players are a concern, particularly 6-9 center Anthony Reed, the school's all-time leader scoring with 1,873 points. He leads the team in scoring with a 16 point average and 6.9 rebounds.
Junior guard Askia Jones is the only Wildcat with NCAA tournament experience, having started on the 1900 team that lost to Xavier in the first round.
