Blessing or curse? Opinions differ on Kansas State’s nonconference schedule

Is Kansas State’s basketball schedule a blessing or a curse?

The debate is already raging. Fans, experts and computers all seem to view the Wildcats and their 9-1 record differently.

Some see K-State as an up-and-coming team that is off to its best start under coach Bruce Weber. It received four votes in this week’s AP Top 25 poll and carries a KenPom ranking of 33.

Others see K-State as a pretender that has piled up victories against hapless competition. The Wildcats’ nonconference schedule is one of the nation’s weakest, ranking 327th out of 351. Their RPI sits at 116.
