I think this towel that Kansas State gave away to fans last night at
Bramlage Coliseum is a pretty good metaphor
for how their season has been going.
First game, they lose at home to South Dakota State.
Nobody's feeling good about things.
Towel was not lighting up since then.
Look at that.
Everything's been working for Kansas State,
much brighter in the last two games.
They beat Cal State Northridge with a strong offensive output.
Then they take down Creighton for their first truly notable win
of the Casey Alexander era last night, 89-82,
behind 14 three-pointers and 26 points from Brendan Recksteiner.
Just a very exciting, high-entertaining game.
Kansas State wins despite committing 22 turnovers
and making mistakes that they'd like to have back.
Really shows the potential that they have
when things are firing on all cylinders on offense.
It's been a big turnaround for the Wildcats.
Down in the dumps after game one,
now they've got a win over a Big East opponent.
They're 2-1 heading into the rest of their schedule here.
So good vibes return to Bramlage Coliseum.
I think the big reason why was Brandon
Recksteiner, Colorado State transfer.
He's got 26 points in back-to-back games.
He's just a lot of fun to watch.
Kansas State's starting to show their potential here
and at least gives fans a taste of what might to come
when they're playing well.
