Kansas State could be a much improved basketball team next season.
That’s important to remember as other teams make coaching changes and some prepare to play in the Sweet 16.
The Wildcats are in one of the most awkward stages of college hoops, good enough to post a winning record (17-16) but not good enough to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. When they missed the NIT and said no to other postseason options, the abrupt ending left some wanting more.
K-State fans are understandably frustrated things didn’t go better this season, and they are worried the Big 12 will be tougher in future years now that Brad Underwood, a former K-State player and coach, is at Oklahoma State.
