Zone defense appears to be the bane of Kansas State's offense, as both Texas A&M and Colorado State held the Wildcats to 68 and 61 points respectively by playing mostly zone.

Along with the need to shoot better from three, the Wildcats must do a better job at running their offensive sets. Too often the past few games the Wildcat offense has stagnated. In order to be competitive in league play Kansas State needs to get back to being the team who gets out in transition, and works the ball around the offense to find the best shot.
