K-State Q&A: NCAA Tournament expectations, UC Irvine and some thoughts on Dean Wade

Before we get started with this week’s K-State Q&A, I want to devote a few words to Dean Wade.

The senior Kansas State forward is injured and will almost certainly miss his second straight NCAA Tournament. That stinks. Talk about horrible luck.

Wade played in 126 games for the Wildcats, scored 1,500 points, made 49.8 percent of his shots, shared the ball like a point guard and twice earned first-team All-Big 12 honors. He arrived on campus with the team in rebuilding mode and now leaves it with a Big 12 championship trophy.

He saved Bruce Weber from the hot seat and turned around K-State basketball, with the help of Barry Brown and Kamau Stokes.
