Dean Wade was angry when Kansas State’s basketball season ended in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last month, using words like “horrible” and “not fair” to describe the helpless feeling of missing out on the postseason with an injury for the second straight year.

“It’s been definitely the toughest part of my life,” Wade said at the time.

Three weeks have passed since K-State lost to UC-Irvine in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, and Wade has used that time to gain a new perspective on the way his college career ended.
