The K-State basketball team beat Oklahoma State last night on a last-second three-point shot by Nijel Pack. The game went back and forth all night, and either team could have won it. It was hard to get worked up about this one, as I find myself numb watching Wildcat basketball nowadays. When Pack hit the three-pointer at the end of the game, I thought, “that’s nice. Good for him and the team.” Then I shut off the television and went…
I’ll be honest. I’m exhausted writing about the K-State men’s basketball team. I’m also exhausted watching them. I love college basketball and following this program the last few years has been soul-crushing. I try to be as positive as I can and write about the positives that I see, but it’s difficult.

It also gave some fans the opportunity to “stick it to” the fans that want Bruce Weber replaced as head basketball coach. Bruce Weber gets a…
This week I intended to write about all the positive things going on in the world of K-State sports. Among those storylines, the football team demolished LSU 42-20 in the Texas Bowl, K-State legend Collin Klein was promoted to the offensive coordinator position, and the women’s basketball team is ranked in the top 25 and is led by one of the best players in college basketball, junior center Akoya Lee. Jeff Mitte’s team is so much fun to watch and…
