MANHATTAN, Kan.
Kansas State coach Bruce Weber took one final look at the stat sheet and sighed.
It was moments after a 71-70 loss to Texas, and Weber was struggling to explain how the Wildcats let another game slip away Monday. The words never came. Weber thought they played hard, avoided turnovers and grabbed loose balls, doing everything he asked of them. Yet they walked away with a loss. He was baffled.
“We won everything but the game,” Weber said.
Outplaying No. 25 Texas, 18-10 overall and 9-6 in the Big 12, in several areas meant little to K-State players when the final buzzer sounded.
