Barry Brown is in a funk.
When looking for ways to explain Kansas State’s most lopsided loss in 15 years (an 89-51 whooping from West Virginia on Saturday at WVU Coliseum) that seems like the best place to start.
Not long ago, Brown seemed like a lock for the All-Big 12 first team. He scored 38 points against Oklahoma State. He scored 34 points against Baylor. He led the Wildcats into a tie for second place in the conference standings and briefly became the league’s second-best scorer, trailing only Oklahoma phenom Trae Young.
Brown, a junior guard, accomplished all of that over a stretch of fine games in January.
