Kansas State hasn’t won in its past nine games, but the Cowboys’ game against the Wildcats on Wednesday could be a big one for the Pokes’ postseason hopes.
At 15-14, Oklahoma State has a chance to secure at least a .500 record heading into Selection Sunday (even if the NIT is doing the selecting). That .500 record is somewhat of a magical number heading into the NIT.
Last season, Butler and Texas made the tournament at .500, with Texas going on to win in New York City as a No. 2 seed. No losing team made the field.
