Wildcats Host Cougars in Big Test | College Basketball News

Kansas State crushed their opener in style, handing Coach Collin Klein his first win as head coach and sending a bold message with a vintage performance. Now they face their true test: hosting Washington State for the first time ever — a team reeling from an opening loss but still dangerous with a run-heavy offense. The Cougars’ defense is a major upgrade, featuring speed and complexity, while K-State’s unit must rise to the occasion. With WSU playing at 11 AM Central (9 AM local) and sitting at 0-1, the Wildcats are 17.5-point favorites at home. A statement win here could ignite the season. Tune in at 11 AM on TNT and HBO Max, or stream live on K-State Sports Network — J.B. Long and Mike Golic Jr. have you covered.
