Shuffling along the sideline, in his standard raspy voice, Bruce Weber barked at his K-State team to get in the paint during a quiet moment Tuesday night at Bramlage Coliseum.
The Wildcats found themselves in an early 11-2 hole against Omaha, and a 1-for-5 start from the field left the crowd silent and uneasy.
Weber finished his piercing sideline berating, and the student section cheered — it needed a reason to. The Wildcats hadn’t lost a home non-conference game since December 2014.
K-State took the message to heart.
The Wildcats responded by rattling off 21 unanswered points, taking the lead for good.
