MANHATTAN, Kan. — Shortly before Kansas State men’s basketball took the floor against Iowa State on Saturday at Bramlage Coliseum the selection committee for the NCAA Tournament showed the Wildcats a great deal of respect by projecting them as a No. 3 seed in their annual February bracket preview.
K-State lived up to that high praise during a 61-55 victory over the Cyclones.
For the first time in a while, the No. 12 Wildcats (20-7, 8-6 Big 12) got back to playing like one of the best teams in the country as they overcome a cold shooting performance and beat the No. 19 Cyclones (17-9, 8-6) with a sensational defensive effort that made the visiting team look lost every time it possessed the ball in the second half.
