The most anticipated Kansas State men’s basketball season in recent memory is nearly upon us.
Bruce Weber returns his entire starting lineup, and most of his key reserves, from a team that won 25 games and reached the Elite Eight last March. The Wildcats are ranked No. 12 in the preseason AP Top 25 and the top challenger to KU in the Big 12.
K-State hasn’t entered a season with this much national buzz since 2010, when Jacob Pullen was a senior. But expectations are so high in Manhattan that Weber has complained that the Wildcats aren’t getting enough respect.
