It seems fitting that Kansas State forward Dean Wade is playing the best basketball of his life with Georgia coming to Bramlage Coliseum on Saturday.
Wade made his first impression on a lot of K-State fans against the Bulldogs two years ago when he hit a baseline jumper to beat Georgia in the final seconds of his first college road game. He was an inconsistent freshman back then, but the game-winner offered a glimpse at his potential.
“That seems like a lifetime ago,” Wade said.
Much has changed for Wade since. No longer a timid freshman, the 6-foot-10 forward has evolved into a mismatch nightmare for opponents.
