Big 12 Notebook: Kansas State right on point -- and without its starting point guard
In a conference where premium point guard play is prevalent, an injury that sidelines a team’s leader and quarterback could be a reason to adopt a “woe is us” mindset. “The leadership is so huge, they’re so focused,” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said after Monday’s victory at Baylor. “In the off-season, we had to convince him to get all the way to the rim,” Kansas State associate head coach Chris Lowery said on Thursday’s Big 12 coaches’ teleconference. Kansas vs. Texas A&M: Following its loss at Oklahoma and ahead of a Big Monday trip to Kansas State – a team on a roll – the Jayhawks can’t afford to look past their former league rival. “We had about the same record at this point last season and went on an 11-2 run,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said on the Big 12 coaches’ teleconference.
