K-STATE HITS THE ROAD TO PLAY 23/22 TEXAS TUESDAY

  1. Kansas State (9-7, 1-4 Big 12) continues Big 12 play on Tuesday, as the Wildcats travel to Austin, Texas to take on No. 23/22 Texas (13-4, 3-2 Big 12) at 7:30 p.m., CT on the Longhorn Network. It will mark the second time in 5 games that the two teams have faced off with the Longhorns earning a 70-57 victory in Manhattan on Jan. 4.
