MEMPHIS, Tenn.
Dana Dimel was in the dumps when it looked like Kansas State was going to lose its seventh straight game and clinch a losing season on the same afternoon six weeks ago.
After turning the ball over on downs late against Iowa State, all hope of a postseason trip seemed lost. The Cyclones had the lead and the ball, with the ability to run out the clock. The Wildcats were on the verge of falling to 3-7, and Dimel let his emotions show like a disgruntled fan from his seat in the pressbox.
