Call off the search party. The Kansas State team coming off the Elite Eight and ranked over the season’s first few weeks was spotted at Sprint Center on Saturday.
In the process, the Wildcats might have locked in an identity a week before Big 12 conflicts begin.
If Kansas State plays defense like it did in Saturday’s 69-58 defeat of Vanderbilt, it should be able to withstand the absence of top gun Dean Wade, out with a foot injury, hold its own and regain a NCAA Tournament trajectory that seem off course recently.
For 30 minutes, Vandy could hardly run a set.
