I am starting a new blog series called “Profiles In K-State Fandom” to highlight some of the great K-State fans out there. I’ve always been intrigued and interested how people discovered K-State and chose to become part of the “K-State Family.” I contacted a few people that agreed to participate to help me launch this idea and I hope to make this an ongoing series. There are a couple more coming soon after this one. Ben Asmann is first because…
K-State won another overtime game on Monday night against West Virginia, extending Jerome Tang’s undefeated overtime record to 12-0. It is hard to find the words to describe this streak. Bizarre and anomalous are two words that come to mind. K-State pushing the latest game to overtime and winning it masked an infamous second-half collapse, as K-State blew a 25-point lead with 13 minutes and 30 seconds left.

It has been a disappointing basketball season for the K-State men’s team. They fell to 15-11 overall and 5-8 in the Big 12 conference after a 62-56 loss to the Texas Longhorns on Monday night.

Coach Tang has done a great job marketing himself and the program since his…

By that, I mean they are not likely to be in contention to be selected as part of the NCAA tournament after losing to BYU on Saturday night. The Wildcats are 5-6 and tied for ninth in the Big 12 standings, and their remaining schedule is not easy: vs. TCU on February 17th at Texas on February 19th vs. BYU on February 24th…
Big win for K-State over Kansas on Big Monday. Time for some Rapid Fire. Let’s GO! -K-State’s 75-70 overtime win over Kansas did not surprise me. KU was coming off a big, emotional win over Houston on Saturday, and they haven’t necessarily played well on the road this season. At the very least, they were bound to exhale after that game. That happened, as they were flat for much of the first half. K-State guard Tylor Perry had been hitting…
