    The K-State men’s basketball team will kick off their season on Sunday as they play host to Washburn University. It will be the first and only exhibition game open to the public.
    Head coach Frank Martin comes into his second season with his team picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 Conference and will have to find a way to replace the production of Michael Beasley and Bill Walker.
    K-State returns several players that contributed significantly to last year’s team. Jacob Pullen, Dominique Sutton, Ron Anderson and Darren Kent each saw action in over half of last year’s games.
    Their opponent, the Washburn Ichabods, enter the 2008-09 season picked to finish sixth in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association conference.
    This season will be head coach Bob Chipman’s 30th year on the Ichabod bench.
     Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Bramlage Coliseum.
