The first thing to know about Sunday’s game is North Dakota is a very, very bad basketball team. Maybe they normally shoot better than they did in Manhattan, but yikes.
They’re possibly the worst team Kansas State will face this season, although the Omaha group the Wildcats routed earlier this month might have something to say about that and McNeese State isn’t great either. The Fighting Hawks arrived at Bramlage Coliseum 2-4, ranked 326th out of 351 Division I programs according to KenPom.
So keep all that in mind as we discuss all the good things the Wildcats did in an 84-42 rout, snapping a two-game losing streak.
