NO FEAR: Wildcats focus on Gamecocks, not distractions

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.
