After a contest that became a bit closer than it should have, your Kansas State Wildcats returned to Kansas 2-0 after defeating Cal 63-54 last Friday night.
Sure, the competition hasn’t exactly been fierce, but the Cats are playing a fun brand of basketball that has significantly improved fan support and morale. Plus, they are doing so many things we’ve been missing for years now, like rebounding and attempting (and making!) second-chance baskets.
And the competition doesn’t really get any better today. The Roos of Kansas City (UMKC) are 1-3 on the season, with their lone win coming against NCCAA (yes, National Christian College Athletic Association) D2 program Calvary University (a team that’s actually in a conference with Manhattan’s other college) back on Monday in KC.
