Dean Wade explains what makes this K-State senior class special By
In the days leading up to Kansas State’s opening NCAA Tournament game against UC Irvine last month, it was known that Wildcats star Dean Wade wouldn’t play.
Fans feared that might doom the Wildcats.
Indeed, K-State lost 70-64 to the 13th-seeded Anteaters, and Wade’s career came to a close.
When it became apparent that Wade’s foot injury would keep him from playing, one young boy was inconsolable.
His mom posted a video on Twitter of why he was so sad:
So this is my six year old during the KU game -my avid KSU fan husband is wearing my KU shirt to cheer for the Big12 but J is only worried about one person, @deanwade3232 and how much he is going to miss him.
