It’s wild just how much difference one game can make.
Before Sunday’s game in Wichita, optimistically we were still on the fence about the K-State men’s basketball team and how this season could go. Two losses in Kansas City to the only two teams yet played with a pulse soured us early, and blowout wins that almost weren’t caused more heartburn. And then the game in Wichita happened. The Shockers are a good team, and were essentially playing at home at the “neutral site” Intrust Bank Arena in downtown Wichita. And yet the Wildcats found a way to win, even down starting point guard, and arguably the team’s best player, Nijel Pack.
