NORMAN — In a postgame press conference following his team's 86-76 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday, Kansas State basketball coach Bruce Weber was asked about the biggest difference between last season's Sooners team and this year's squad.
Buddy Hield's improved ability to handle the ball, create his own shot and get to the rim?
Khadeem Lattin's shot-blocking presence on the inside?
Nope. It's Jordan Woodard's shooting.
“Woodard. Woodard. It's not even a question,” Weber said. “We didn't guard him last year. We just didn't guard him.”
The junior guard turned in another strong performance in Saturday's win with 19 points on 8-of-15 shooting, 3-of-5 from behind the 3-point line.
