K-State plays waiting game for NCAA Tournament
Kansas State coach Bruce Weber cheers on his team during the first half of Friday night’s Big 12 Tournament semifinal game against West Virginia in Kansas City, Mo. K-State lost 51-50. (Charlie Riedel/The Associated Press)KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two wins to end the regular season. A victory over the No. 9-ranked team in the conference tournament, followed by a one-point loss to the No. 11 team in the semifinals.
Is that enough to get Kansas State in the NCAA Tournament?
Maybe, but the Wildcats could have erased all doubts and speculation had they not let a 12-point second-half lead slip away in a 51-50 loss to West Virginia in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals Friday at Sprint Center.
