Whatever Kansas State women’s basketball coach Jeff Mittie said to his team at halftime sure worked.
The Wildcats (15-4, 5-2 Big 12) came out of the break deadlocked with TCU (9-9, 1-6 Big 12) but ripped the game open in the third quarter, eventually winning, 74-63 in Bramlage Coliseum on Wednesday.
“I just reminded them to embrace the toughness of the game,” Mittie said. “I told them to embrace it because it was just going to be one of those nights where there were just a lot of bodies falling, and if you didn’t embrace it, then it wasn’t going to be very good for us … felt like their thoughts were a little off early, but came out, I thought, really good in the second half.
