With all of Oregon's injuries, beating the Ducks right now is not as noteworthy as it would be otherwise. Still, Kansas State's 68-56 victory over Oregon on Saturday moved the Wildcats to 10-2. Their only losses are to No. 1 South Carolina and then-No. 5 NC State.

Once Big 12 play starts, we'll find out how "for real" K-State is, as the Wildcats open with Baylor, Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Iowa State. But star center Ayoka Lee looks like the real deal, averaging 23.8 PPG, 11.1 RPG and 4.0 BPG.

We are going to be middle of the pack. Lots of reasons. But that is the simple reality. The sooner we accept it the better.
