PublishedMANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State coach Jerome Tang lamented his team's lack of effort in a lopsided loss to Kansas this week, issuing a not-so-veiled challenge to the Wildcats heading into their regular-season finale against sixth-ranked Iowa State.
“I was very clear after the last game, we didn't give an effort worthy of wearing a K-State uniform,” Tang said,"and they didn't take offense to it. They embraced that we have higher expectations of ourselves, and they responded.” “Credit goes to K-State, their coaches and their players. They did a great job,” Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger said. “They were more physical. They were the more aggressive team. And they did a better job in some of the areas we take pride in, in terms of rebounding and being physical. Credit to them for doing that today.”
When the Wildcats did, trailing 18-10 with seven minutes left in the half, their fortunes quickly flipped. The Cyclones went on a run of their own, a 10-0 charge to get within 48-43 with 7:18 left. But the Wildcats pushed their lead back to double digits, and forced Iowa State into using full-court pressure in a desperate bid to mount a comeback.
