Bruce Weber had a parting message for Kansas State basketball players as they exited Bramlage Coliseum following a 72-63 loss to Kansas on Saturday.
“Get to bed,” he told them, “and get ready for Monday.”
Conserving energy is a priority for the Wildcats as they prepare for a 6 p.m. home game against No. 24 Texas on Monday. Unlike previous seasons, ESPN didn’t select any of their games for “Big Monday.” So they lack experience with quick turnarounds between conference games. The process of putting a Saturday loss behind them and immediately focusing on another game may feel like second nature to some Big 12 teams, but it is new to K-State.
