K-State’s Star Wars Day: When forcing it in basketball is a good thing

MANHATTAN

The Sunday after Thanksgiving isn’t the most fan-friendly of times for a college basketball team to host a game against a lower Division I opponent.

With that in mind, Kansas State decided to jazz up its 2 p.m. tipoff with South Carolina State on Sunday by designating it as Star Wars Day.

Fans are encouraged to dress up as their favorite Star Wars characters and celebrate both the Wildcats and the science-fiction movie franchise.

Several activities are planned for the game, including giveaways and a costume contest. Maybe K-State coach Bruce Weber will channel the force in his pregame speech.
