It was, perhaps, the most evenly-matched contest K-State has been involved in this season. Tied at the half, tied on a Desmond Bane three at the buzzer, and won when Barry Brown laid in a basket with 11 seconds left, the Wildcats survived a thrilling test against the TCU Horned Frogs to move on to the Big 12 Tournament semifinals tonight.
The win last night was huge, because it almost certainly ensured that K-State will not only be playing meaningful basketball after this weekend but also that they won’t be doing so until Thursday.
