What happens to K-State when Xavier Sneed shoots 4-13 (2-8 from 3-point range), Kamau Stokes shoots 3-12 (1-8), Dean Wade shoots 5-11 (1-4), and Barry Brown shoots 4-13 (0-7)? No, this is not a riddle. It’s not a trick question. There is no gotcha, no “Ah-hah!” All together, now: “K-State loses.”
Really, this recap could just about end there. You shoot 32.1% (18-56), including 12.9% (4-31!) from outside as a team, and you lose. Even in junior high school, you usually lose. This was unexpected, because K-State as a team—Stokes especially—has shot well recently. They beat Vanderbilt on the road mainly because they were able to make 3-point shots and midrange jumpers every time the Commodores made a run.
