KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The offense will likely be hit and miss throughout the season for Kansas State’s basketball team, so coach Bruce Weber is counting on defense as a foundation.
With a 37-percent shooting night and its lowest point total of the young season, the foundation was rock solid Monday when the Wildcats limited Missouri to 31-percent shooting for a 66-42 victory in the opening round of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic at Sprint Center.
“We always take a lot of pride on the defensive end and shutting people down,” Weber said. “In the first couple of exhibition games we were actually better on defense than we were in practice and they carried it into the first few games.
