Earlier this week No. 12/11 Kansas State Wildcats boarded a jet for the balmy U.S. Virgin Islands, where they will begin play in the Paradise Jam tournament against Ohio Valley Conference member Eastern Kentucky (2-1) at 6:30 CT this evening. You can see the tournament bracket here. Though the field perhaps lost a bit of luster when Missouri’s Jontay Porter suffered an unfortunate season-ending knee injury before the real games began, the tournament still provides important opportunities for K-State.
Every game affords the ‘Cats a new chance to find the offensive rhythm that has been almost entirely lacking so far this season.
