We’ll start with the team that played on Sunday in Lawrence. The MittieCats have started slow most of 2023, and Sunday’s contest against the Jayhawks was no exception. The Hawks built an 18-6 lead before the Cats woke up, and then it was a tight middle before things got away again late, as the Cats fall 85-72 to drop to 13-9 overall and 2-7 in Big 12 play. Beating KU consistently was once a hallmark of Jeff Mittie’s tenure in Manhattan, but the Wildcats have now dropped two-straight, and three straight in Lawrence. It’s the first losing streak in the series for K-State since the Cats dropped three straight from the last two games of Deb Patterson’s run to Jeff Mittie’s first in the series in the Little Apple.
