It’s only Monday, but time is already ticking on the Kansas State coaching staff as it prepares to open the NCAA Championship on Friday in Kansas City.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — There’s a lot of excitement that goes along with facing a No. 1 seed and the nation’s third-ranked team, especially on its home court.
But little numbers next the school’s name and a hostile Colonial Life Arena like the Kansas State women will experience Sunday night, isn’t what the Wildcats are thinking about right now.
Loud crowd and all, nine-seed K-State is just focused on the matter at hand — upsetting South Carolina — and not rolling over like some might expect it to do against a team that has lost only one game all season.
