The K-State women’s basketball team will play their first competitive matchup on Monday as the Wildcats welcome Topeka’s Washburn Ichabods at 7 p.m. in Bramlage Coliseum for their first of two exhibition matches this season.
Monday’s exhibition will mark the start of Jeff Mittie’s second season as head coach in Manhattan, and his 25th overall.
Mittie’s first season was solid improvement for the K-State program. The team went 19-14 last year and ended in the second round of the WNIT Tournament as K-State fell to Missouri in Manhattan. Before last year, the program had not been to any sort of postseason play since the 2012-13 season.
