MANHATTAN, Kan. — The Kansas State men’s basketball team was surrounded by good vibes for more than a week after Jerome Tang was hired as the squad’s new head coach.
But that excitement came to a halt on Thursday when Nijel Pack, a 6-foot guard who was by far K-State’s best player last season, decided to enter his name in the NCAA transfer portal rather than return for his junior season with the Wildcats.
Some might call it Tang’s first loss.
