It turns out Kansas State’s improvement against Texas Tech last weekend wasn’t a mirage.
The Wildcats looked crisp on offense and hit a lot of shots during their best 16-minute stretch to start a game this season. Then they stunned everyone by roaring back in the second half.
Unfortunately, there was an ugly stretch and No. 13 Texas shot extremely well for much of the game. The Longhorns nearly suffered what would have been considered a monumental collapse but they hit their free throws down the stretch and K-State couldn’t quite get all the way back in an 80-77 loss.
