Is K-State Basketball Cursed?

Is K-State Basketball Cursed?

Comments 0 Comment

It’s been a rough college basketball season for many fans, but especially for Kansas State fans.  I had a few friends text me throughout the season saying “your articles almost write themselves, don’t they?”  They definitely don’t write themselves, but record-breaking futility does give one plenty of topics to write about.  It also means that K-State fans once again have to watch the NCAA tournament rooting for their bracket since their team isn’t in it again. I have to admit…

   Bruce Weber lost three key players off the basketball team roster this week when Antonio Gordon, DaJuan Gordon, and Rudi Williams all hit the transfer portal. It’s pretty hard, if not near impossible, to run a successful basketball program with this kind of turnover every year. Let’s take a look at what happened…. “I want to thank the people of Manhattan for their tremendous love and support throughout this year. I would also like to thank my teammates for…

K-State played better down the stretch and gave Baylor a game in the Big…

   My friend and K-State superfan Scott Thomas died early this morning after a battle with lung cancer.  He was 50 years old.  A mutual friend and I drove to see him in Hutchinson yesterday.  He was aware we were there, but he could not really speak or communicate with us.  It was hard to see him in that condition, but I’m glad we made the last-minute trip to spend some time with him.  Just hours after we left he…

   The Kansas State basketball team played its best game of the season yesterday afternoon.  Unfortunately, they saved that effort for a game against one of the best teams in the country, the Baylor Bears.  Baylor won the Big 12 quarterfinal game 74-68.  Some K-State fans on social media celebrated the loss as if Bruce Weber had just led the Wildcats to the national championship.  It was quite bizarre to witness.  The fans weren’t the only ones celebrating.  Bruce Weber…
