Kansas State and Tulsa are close to finalizing plans for a two-game basketball series that will begin at Wichita’s Intrust Bank Arena next season.
K-State basketball coach Bruce Weber told the Eagle on Thursday he expects to play the Golden Hurricane in the team’s “Wichita Wildcat Classic” in 2017.
“We have talked to Tulsa about it,” Weber said in a phone conversation with the Eagle. “They are still figuring out some things with the return game, so I can’t totally confirm it will happen, but it is heading in that direction.”
K-State has played at Intrust Bank Arena every other year since 2011, losing the inaugural game in double overtime to West Virginia and then beating Gonzaga in 2013 and Colorado State in 2015.
