Kansas State’s basketball team won’t be bringing home the shiny Las Vegas Invitational trophy that it had set it sights on, but a consolation third-place finish and overall solid play in its first true tests of the seasons isn’t a shabby consolation prize.
K-State (5-1) bounced back from its first loss of the year with a 67-59 victory over George Washington (2-4) Friday night in the third-place game of the Las Vegas Invitational at the Orleans Arena.
“We had to just let yesterday go, we couldn’t let one loss become two,” said junior guard Kamau Stokes, who led K-State with 19 points.
