We’re back right to it tonight, with the second of three games in three days as Kansas State attempts to win it’s first pre-season tournament title since the eventual Big 12 Champions won the Paradise Jam in 2018.
Standing in the way tonight is literally the best opponent K-State has faced so far this season. The Nevada Wolf Pack are 5-0, with their best win, like K-State, coming yesterday in the opening round of the Cayman Islands Classic when they took down Tulane 75-66. They currently sit at 94 in KenPom’s ratings, 35 spots behind the Cats, while they are all the way up at 39th in the Massey ratings, just nine spots behind K-State.
