Men’s basketball
The men’s basketball team returns to action for the final time in Bramlage Coliseum this year when Iowa State (2-19) makes the trip to Manhattan this Saturday. The game was originally scheduled for Jan. 13 but was postponed because of COVID-19 concerns.
The Wildcats come off an up-and-down week, highlighted by an upset win against No. 7 Oklahoma, as well as a blowout loss to No. 10 West Virginia. Kansas State looks to bounce back against the Cyclones, currently ranked below the Wildcats in the last place of Big 12 Conference standings.
Hopefully, freshman point guard and leading scorer Nijel Pack will return for the game — he missed the game against West Virginia because of an eye infection.
The Wildcats picked up its first conference win courtesy of the Cyclones earlier this year and looks to complete the season sweep this weekend.
Tip-off from Bramlage is set for 4 p.m. Saturday, with coverage on ESPN+ and radio coverage on the K-State Sports Network.
Women’s basketball
The women’s basketball team will conclude its regular season this week with two games at home against TCU (8-12) and West Virginia (18-4) on Monday and Wednesday, while the season finale is on Sunday against Oklahoma (10-10) in Norman, Oklahoma.
The Wildcats look to capitalize on facing TCU at an opportune time, as the Horned Frogs come into Manhattan in the middle of a 3-game skid. K-State needs to improve on its perimeter defense from the last time against TCU when the team gave up 13 threes.
Tip-off against TCU is set for 6:30 p.m. and is available on ESPN+ and the K-State Sports Network.
No. 18 West Virginia poses a tall challenge for the last home game of the year for the Wildcats. In the last meeting, K-State hung around until the end and managed a single-digit loss but will need to score more than the 56 points to dethrone the Mountaineers.
Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and is available on ESPN+ and the K-State Sports Network.
K-State concludes the season in Norman against Oklahoma. The Wildcats came up two points short in a valiant comeback effort in the last matchup in January, despite outscoring the Sooners by six in the fourth quarter.
Tip-off from Norman is set for 3 p.m. Sunday with coverage on Fox Sports Oklahoma and the K-State Sports Network.
