New-look Wildcats have same lofty expectations this season

Wesley Iwundu returns after becoming a mainstay in the lineup last season.

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Even the most ardent Kansas State fans will need a roster sheet this season.

Since the Wildcats last stepped on the floor to finish a disastrous 15-17 season filled with suspensions and infighting, their top player has transferred to Creighton. Four others have left for another school or were kicked off the team. Two more graduated.

All were key contributors to a team that grossly underperformed.

As a result, Bruce Weber had to lure 10 newcomers to Manhattan, including seven scholarship players he'll rely on if the Wildcats have any hopes of returning to the NCAA Tournament.
