Kansas State basketball fans didn’t get the seed or region they were hoping for in the NCAA Tournament, but once you get past those two disappointments there is a lot to like about the Wildcats’ portion of the bracket.
They got a good draw, all things considered.
Sure, they wanted a No. 3 seed in Tulsa with a potential Sweet 16 trip to Kansas City. But a No. 4 seed in the South Region is far from an impossible assignment. UC Irvine beat Texas A&M, which beat K-State, in nonconference play. The Anteaters won at Saint Mary’s, too.
