I've gone back and forth on my support for Bruce this year but this isn't me saying he needs to be fired. These are simply facts since Bruce took over at K-State. These facts do support fans being upset though.
KU - 5 conf titles, 2 Big12 tournament titles (9 Big12 tourney wins), 10 NCAA tourney wins, worst & best conf season record 13-5 & 16-2 (all 6 season with 13+ conf wins), 3 Sweet Sixtens, 2 Elite Eights, 0 Final Fours
ISU - 0 conf titles, 3 Big12 tournament titles (10 Big12 tourney wins), 6 NCAA tourney wins, worst & best conf season record 4-13 & 12-6 (4 seasons of 12 conf wins), 1 Sweet Sixten
OU - 0 conf titles, 0 Big12 tournament titles (2 Big12 tourney wins), 6 NCAA tourney wins, worst & best conf season record 5-13 & 12-6 (4 seasons of 11+ conf wins), 2 Sweet Sixtens, 1 Elite Eight, 1 Final Four
UT - 0 conf titles, 0 Big12 tournament titles (3 Big12 tourney wins), 1 NCAA tourney wins, worst & best conf season record 4-14 & 11-7 (2 seasons of 11 conf wins)
BU - 0 conf titles, 0 Big12 tournament titles (5 Big12 tourney wins), 4 NCAA tourney wins, worst & best conf season record 8-9 & 12-6 (3 seasons of 10+ conf wins), 2 Sweet Sixteens
WVU - 0 conf titles, 0 Big12 tournament titles (4 Big12 tourney wins), 4 NCAA tourney wins, worst & best conf season record 6-12 & 13-5 (4 seasons of 11+ conf wins), 3 Sweet Sixteens
KSU - 1 conf title, 0 Big12 tournament titles (4 Big12 tourney wins), 0 NCAA tourney wins, worst & best conf season record 5-13 & 14-4 (2 seasons of 10+ wins - could be 3 after this week)
OSU - 0 conf titles, 0 Big12 tournament titles (2 Big12 tourney wins), 0 NCAA tourney wins, worst & best conf season record 3-15 & 13-5 (5 seasons of 9 or less wins)
TT - 0 conf titles, 0 Big12 tournament titles (1 Big12 tourney win), 0 NCAA tourney wins, worst & best conf season record 3-15 & 10-7 (5 seasons of 9 or less wins)
TCU - 0 conf titles, 0 Big12 tournament titles (4 Big12 tourney wins), 0 NCAA tourney wins, worst & best conf season record 0-18 & 8-9 (6 seasons of 9 or less wins)
K-State is:
1 of 2 teams with a Big12 regular season title (top2)
1 of 8 teams without a Big12 tournament title
1 of 4 teams without an NCAA tournament win (bottom 4)
1 of 7 teams with 10+ conf wins multiple times (top 4 have 11+ & KSU is not one of them)
1 of 7 teams without 5+ Big12 tournament wins (1 of 5 teams with 4+ though - top half)
1 of 5 teams without a second weekend appearance (bottom half)
These are just facts. I hope we turn things around this year but I don't see it right now. Bruce hasn't won a round of 64 game since 2010-11 and hasn't made it to the second weekend since 2003-04. Facts are facts and fans have a right to be upset right now.
