The Kansas State Wildcats are headed to the first round of the NCAA tournament following a 95-88 win over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Tuesday night.

Though the No. 11 seed play-in game at University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio, wasn't an aesthetic pleasure because of so many fouls against both sides, the Wildcats were dialed in and hit 66 percent of their shots to set up a date with the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Swingman Wesley Iwundu led the charge for Kansas State with 24 points, seven assists and six rebounds in a complete effort that showcased his pro upside, as The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor noted:
