K-State basketball team hopes that the force will be with it

MANHATTAN, Kan.

The Sunday after Thanksgiving isn’t the most fan friendly of times for a college basketball team to be host to a game against a nondescript opponent.

With that in mind, Kansas State decided to jazz up its 2 p.m. tipoff with South Carolina State on Sunday by designating it as “Star Wars Day.”

Fans are encouraged to dress up as their favorite Star Wars characters and celebrate both the Wildcats and the science-fiction movie franchise at the same time.

Several activities are planned for the game, including giveaways and a costume contest.
