K-State Slate: 3.14.14

Without further ado...

Men's Basketball

K-State lost to Iowa State 91-85 in the Big 12 Tournament yesterday. The Star's Kellis Robinett takes an in-depth look at the game, and Sam Mellinger notes that the program is headed in the right direction, even with this loss. Blair Kerkhoff thinks K-State can play with the best.

Ed. Note: Posted after 00 put together the Slate due to other deadlines, Curtis reported from the locker room post-game, where the mood was perhaps discordantly upbeat.

The Star also provides video breakdown of the game and interviews with Bruce Weber and Shane Southwell.

Ken Corbitt notes K-State broke down at the end, and ponders K-State's NCAA fate.

Also, Weber accidentally fed the Who Hates Iowa meme. (This links to a newspaper in a city that doesn't exist, at least as far as we know).

The national media also covers the story.
