MANHATTAN, Kan. – For the first time in two years, the Kansas State men’s basketball team held its annual media day in-person, as area media met with head coach Bruce Weber and players on Monday afternoon to discuss the fast-approaching 2021-22 season at the Ice Family Basketball Center.
The Wildcats play their lone exhibition game on Thursday night (November 4) at home against Pittsburg State at 7 p.m., CT before opening the regular season on Wednesday, November 10 against Florida A&M at 7 p.m., CT.
Weber held his traditional press conference to start before media were able to talk 1-on-1 with players.
K-State returns four of its top-5 scorers, including senior Mike McGuirl and rising sophomores Davion Bradford, Selton Miguel and Nijel Pack. In all, the Wildcats return nine lettermen, including juniors Kaosi Ezeagu and Carlton Linguard, Jr., and sophomores Luke Kasubke and Seryee Lewis. Lewis will miss the upcoming season due to injury.
The team also added seven newcomers this offseason, including transfers Ismael (Ish) Massoud (Wake Forest), Markquis Nowell (Little Rock) and Mark Smith (Missouri) to go with freshmen Maximus Edwards and Logan Landers.
