K-State prepares for Drake in the first round of the NCAA tourney

Over the past several weeks, Kansas State head coach Jeff Mittie became a Stanford gymnastics fan.

The Cardinal is hosting the Pac-12 championships, which conflicts with the women’s NCAA tournament, paving the way for K-State to host the first two rounds this weekend.

“I think Manhattan, this area and the state of Kansas have a great appreciation for women’s basketball,” he said. “You’ve seen that through our attendance this year, you’ve seen that through the history of our program, so it’s exciting. It’s exciting for our overall program, and it’s exciting for our players.”

Seniors Bre Lewis and Kindred Wesemann enjoy getting to play in Bramlage Coliseum’s familiar confines on a bigger stage.
