New challenges emerge for K-State basketball without Kamau Stokes and Dean Wade

Bruce Weber doesn’t know when Kamau Stokes or Dean Wade will be healthy enough to return to Kansas State’s basketball lineup.

That was the scariest thing about the Wildcats’ 67-47 loss to the Texas Longhorns on Wednesday at Bramlage Coliseum.

K-State was no match for Texas without two of its senior starters. The Wildcats made 17 of 52 shots and got blown out at home on the opening night of Big 12 action. And it’s difficult to see their fortunes improving dramatically with the lineup Weber put on the court for this one.

Barry Brown wore a shirt that read “start unknown, finish unforgettable” to the postgame news conference.
