The Kansas State Wildcats officially Elite. And that status has been earned in nearly improbable fashion.
In round one, the Wildcats soundly beat a Creighton Bluejays team that should have posed more of a challenge. Next, the Cats took on the ultimate Cinderella in the UMBC Retrievers, and sent them home in a game that was never pretty. Then the Wildcats took on the blue version from Kentucky, and the purple Wildcats slew the team loaded with NBA prospects, even after finishing the game playing five guards thanks to foul trouble.
It’s been a wild, fun ride, and it’s not over yet.
