Was Monday Kansas Day, or Groundhog Day? Because there was certainly a sickening sense of déjà vu in Bramlage Coliseum last night. K-State fans have lived through this despondent numbness entirely too often.
After Makol Mawien’s lay-up gave K-State a 2-0 lead, the Jayhawks made 10 of their first 12 shots, while the Wildcat offense fell into cryostasis for the first five minutes (and most of the first half), taking all the drama out of the game early. By the time the offense thawed, the deficit was just too great. Though the Wildcats fought back in the second half, cutting the lead to five, they could get no closer, and ultimately fell, 70-56.
