MANHATTAN
Kansas State closed out its exhibition schedule with a 70-52 victory against Fort Hays State on Friday at Bramlage Coliseum.
It was far from a perfect effort from the Wildcats, as the Division II Tigers made them sweat at times in the second half. Still, K-State coach Bruce Weber will take the result.
With so many new faces on the roster, he wasn’t sure what to expect from his team in a pair of dress-rehearsals before the regular season begins next week. He privately wondered if they might lose one. Instead, they rolled to two lopsided victories.
