A year after Frank Martin made the Final Four, the South Carolina coach's former team is on the brink of doing the same.
Kansas State on Thursday night upset fifth-seeded Kentucky, 61-58, in a South Regional semifinal. The ninth-seeded Wildcats face No. 11 Loyola-Chicago at 6:09 p.m. Saturday in Atlanta for a chance at their first Final Four since 1964.
Martin, who led Kansas State from 2007-12, took the Wildcats to five NCAA tournaments, including an Elite Eight run in 2010. He tweeted his support for the Big 12 program Friday morning.
