A season ago Kansas State was one of the best teams in the country at defending the 3-point shot.

One season later, that’s all changed. And it’s something the Wildcats are trying to change sooner than later.

K-State’s allowing teams to shoot 39 percent from the perimeter this season, but it’s the number in Big 12 games that’s becoming alarming as the Wildcats prepare to play at West Virginia on Saturday at 11 a.m. on ESPN.

Conference teams are shooting 45.6 percent against the Wildcats this season, which would break the Big 12 record of 42 percent.
