Madness in Manhattan returned to Bramlage Coliseum with some music, dancing and high-flying dunks on Friday.
There was a good crowd and noticeable excitement in the building, too.
K-State held a basketball kickoff event for the first time in four years, and it felt like a hit for all in attendance.
Senior forward Dean Wade made the crowd laugh when he entered the arena while hoisting a stuffed Wildcat high above his head as the famous “Lion King” song “Circle of Life” blared on the loud speaker. Then he wowed them by winning a dunk contest that also featured Xavier Sneed, Austin Trice and Shaun Neal-Williams.
