MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) - The Kansas State women are going dancing.
The Wildcats were named a No. 9 seed in the Bridgeport Region. They’ll take on No. 8 seed Washington State Saturday in Raleigh, North Carolina in the opening round.
“We felt really good that we were solidly in the field. We had a lot of good wins, but until you see your name come up there, yeah it’s always a little nerve wracking,” head coach Jeff Mittie said. “We’ve got one of the best players in the country. We’ve got a group that I think grinded through the last part of the season. This is a new season for us.”
The ‘Cats are led by 6′6″ junior center Ayoka Lee, who is averaging 22.4 points per game — good for seventh-best in the nation.
Mittie’s squad enters March Madness 19-12 (9-9 Big 12).
