ATLANTA -- Kansas State forward Dean Wade said he's hopeful he'll play during Thursday's game against Kentucky after sitting out the last three games with a stress fracture in his foot.
Coach Bruce Weber said Wade, who practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, will not start in the NCAA tournament regional semifinal, but he could contribute off the bench in Atlanta.
"You know, he's not going to be a 30-minute guy, but we can get like the NBA, the minute guy -- a couple minutes here, a couple minutes there," Weber said.
