Ex-Wildcats reunite for tournament

Fans often have discussions about their perfect Kansas State basketball dream team.

And what if it actually happened? What if those days of Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente raining 3-pointers weren’t finished?

A handful of former K-State basketball players are set to make exactly that happen this summer when they reunite for a tournament.

Starting today, fans can vote for a team of K-State alums to play in The Basketball Tournament — a 64-team field starting in July made up of teams from four different regions around the country.

The team — called Purple and Black — is being organized by Jordan Henriquez and will feature Henriquez, Rodney McGruder, Dominique Sutton, Clemente, Thomas Gipson, Curtis Kelly, Jamar Samuels, Devon Peterson, Martavious Irving and the Wildcats’ all-time leading scorer in Pullen.
