March 14, 2010  K-State learns fate, begins preparation  As is
tradition, in the minds of college basketball coaches
everywhere, Sunday was regarded as one of the most import dates
on the calendar. Postseason brackets were revealed, seeding was
announced, and every team in the county, regardless of record,
was forced to confront its fate. So on a day some of his peers
spent time pacing, chewing fingernails, rubbing rabbits feet and
possibly even firing back a scotch or two to calm lingering
nerves, Frank Martin went to sleep.
