  K-State lost to Oklahoma State 70-54 in Bramlage Coliseum yesterday.  Covid on top of injuries meant that the Wildcats were down to six scholarship players, the minimum required to play a game in the Big 12 this season.  Let’s take a look at what happened…    “Yeah I think I would’ve.

It was another typical week for K-State basketball.  A win and two losses and a lot of the fan base didn’t bother to watch.  I’m trying to find the positives when watching the latest version of Bruceketball, but  the losses are piling up, making it hard to do so.
