In a season that saw the Kansas State Wildcats get off to a hot 12-1 start on the year, fans were thrilled. They didn’t expect the team to have to advance in the Big 12 Tournament in order to make it to the big dance in March known as the NCAA Tournament.
That’s what K-State basketball is looking at though, as an abysmal 7-11 record after that hot start wrecked the early success the Wildcats had sustained.
As a six-seed in the Big 12 Tournament, set to jump start on Wednesday, the Wildcats have more to play for than just about anybody else in the tournament.
