For the first time since Jerome Tang took over in Manhattan, the Kansas State Wildcats and the No. 6 Texas Longhorns go head to head on Tuesday at the Moody Center in Austin.
A long-time assistant to Scott Drew at Baylor, Tang replaced Bruce Weber, who resigned following the 2021-22 season after a third straight losing campaign with the Wildcats. Tang has Kansas State off to a 12-1 start against a largely weak non-conference slate and a win to open Big 12 play against West Virginia. Picked to finish last in the Big 12 by the league’s head coaches, the Wildcats are ranked No.
