Kansas State has had some good teams over the years and they have a solid coach in Jerome Tang who keeps this team competitive every year.

"They're playing really unselfishly on the offensive end of the floor. They're shooting it exceptionally well from three, where we've been really strong defending the three through two games." - Matt McMahon on K-State this season and their upcoming game against them. 

"I said I thought we played about 15 minutes the way we're capable of (in the opener), and the goal was to stretch it to 20. I thought we played about 20 minutes the way we're capable of playing, and then we kind of relaxed and showed some immaturity that has a team we have to grow." - Jerome Tang after his team’s win against Cleveland State in their game on Saturday.
