Kansas State basketball players are about to learn what it feels like to be Darth Vader.
When the No. 9 seed Wildcats take the floor against the No. 16 seed UMBC Retrievers on Sunday the vast majority of fans watching live at Spectrum Center and from home will be rooting against the Wildcats. Right now, they are the villains standing in the way of college basketball’s ultimate Cinderella team.
“There are going to be a lot of Kansas State fans there pulling for us, but I assume everyone else will be rooting for them,” K-State forward Dean Wade said.
