Bruce Weber is away from the TV cameras now and standing in front of two large black garbage bins in a concrete hallway just off the court at Bramlage Coliseum.
He is here after telling the reporters in the other room he wanted to see his family, and for his five seniors to absorb the shine after a 61-48 win over Texas Tech on Saturday that may have locked his team into the NCAA Tournament and his own future as Kansas State’s basketball coach.
But he had agreed to make this stop before the game, for one more conversation as part of a project documenting his fifth year here, the one that included a 12-1 start and 2-8 nosedive, a win at then-No.
