K-State wasn’t supposed to win this game. The Wildcats entered the game after winning two in a row, they were the underdogs, and rightfully so.
Although the Longhorns, 23-2 overall and 12-2 in conference play, were fresh off a loss to the Oklahoma Sooners — a team that K-State had recently beaten — they were still the No. 8 team in the country and had every right to be the favorite on Wednesday night.
The Wildcats, 16-9 overall and 6-8 in the Big 12, entered the Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, as the underdog. They gave the Longhorns a scare but came up on the short end of the stick in a 51-58 loss.
