As Kansas State came out of the final media timeout with a one-point lead, most fans were probably wondering the same thing.
How is this going to go wrong?
Then the Cats went out and made us all look very silly.
Somehow they increased their intensity on defense and Mark Smith led the charge offensively down the stretch as K-State finished on a 12-2 run for a much-needed 62-51 win over No. 19 Texas Tech. The Mizzou transfer hit a pair of threes to finish with 12 points and Ish Massoud delivered the exclamation point with a two-handed slam (hardly a guaranteed 2 points for K-State this season) to bury a Red Raiders team that had beaten Oklahoma State, Baylor and Kansas in the last eight days.
