The banner in Bramlage Coliseum listing the Sweet 16 appearances of the Kansas State women’s basketball team won’t need to be taken down this summer.
The seventh-seeded Wildcats lost to No. 2-seed Stanford 69-48 on Monday in Manhattan, ending their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance under third-year coach Jeff Mittie and the careers of seniors Breanna Lewis and Kindred Wesemann.
Lewis finished with nine points and four rebounds and Wesemann finished with 11 points and five assists.
For a brief moment in the third quarter, it looked like Stanford might have lost steam. Brittany McPhee, who had gone 4 for 4 on three-point plays in the first half, missed her fifth attempt at a three.
