It’s not hard to pinpoint the moment things started to change for the Kansas State women’s basketball team this season.
The Wildcats lost a home game by 29 points to Iowa State in early February that felt like a crippling blow to their NCAA Tournament chances. They were 13-9 overall and 4-6 in the Big 12. Time was running out, and they knew it.
“Our confidence was way down,” K-State coach Jeff Mittie said. “We played horrible.”
So they held a long team meeting and figured out what it would take to turn things around. Then they started winning, and winning and winning.
