Kansas State played two games in the Big 12 Tournament at the T-Mobile Center and, in the process, offered a near-perfect reenactment of the Wildcats’ entire season.

One night after beating Arizona State with crisp offense in the first round, the Cats were completely out-worked by the Baylor Bears in a 70-56 loss on Wednesday night in downtown Kansas City, Mo.

The Wildcats exit the tournament with a 16-17 overall record on the season, which saw Coach Jerome Tang suffer horrendous losses and a string of impressive victories. And while this loss wasn’t horrible — seventh-seeded Baylor will be part of next week’s NCAA Tournament — K-State’s effort on both ends of the floor was far below what was needed to upset the Bears.

The early hot shooting seen against Arizona State was replaced with a struggle shooting the ball early for all but David N’Guessan, who recorded his seventh double-double of the season with 20 points and 10 rebounds. N’Guessan hit eight of his nine field goal attempts. The Cats were 21 of 57 from the field, meaning the rest of the K-State team shot a pathetic 27% (13-48) from the field.

“Do you think that’s important to me right now? What’s important right now is how guys feel as they leave here,” Tang answered after being asked about his team’s miserable shooting. “David (N’Guessan) playing his last game in a K-State uniform, that he leaves here knowing that he’s appreciated and that he’s loved, right?”

Throughout the postgame press conference, Coach Tang referenced this being the end of his team’s season, confirming that the Wildcats’ less-than-.500 record would block them from playing more basketball.

The Bears won this game on their offensive end of the floor, forcing K-State into numerous defensive breakdowns, leading to shots at the rim. Baylor shot 46% from the field and hit 7 of 21 (33.3%) 3-pointers. That means K-State was an awful 3 of 25 (12%) from behind the arc. That means K-State was outscored by 12 points from deep in a 14-point loss.

Baylor also dominated the Wildcats in bench points. The Bears got 27 points from their reserves, while K-State tallied just four points from the bench.

Baylor, now 19-13 on the season, advances into Thursday’s quarterfinals, playing a 6 p.m. game against second-seeded Texas Tech.
