K-State’s 2010 run to the Elite 8 ended with a loss to a Butler team led by Shelvin Mack, Gordon Heyward and Brad Stevens.  All ended up in the NBA.  Let’s take a look at some of the key quotes coming out of that game. Shelvin Mack scored 16 and Ronald Nored and Willie Veasley keyed an in-your-face defensive effort on K-State guards Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente to help Butler become the first school from a true, mid-major conference…

After a disappointing loss to Loyola Chicago in the Elite 8, K-State basketball is done for the season. While a trip to the Elite 8 was unexpected, it was a disappointing loss considering Loyola Chicago was an 11 seed in the tournament.  I’m not sure we’ll ever have a road like that to the Final four again.  UMBC taking out one seeded Virginia was huge.  After beating Creighton in the first round and taking care of UMBC in the second…
