The pressure of playing for a spot in the NCAA Tournament and for the future of their beleaguered basketball coach appears to be too much for Kansas State players.
K-State hit rock bottom during a 81-51 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center, a defeat that was every bit as ugly as it was demoralizing.
Make no mistake: this was a crushing result, the type of blowout neither Bruce Weber nor the Wildcats may be able to overcome. They entered the day with much to gain against the Big 12’s worst team, yet barely put up a fight.
