Last night we got to take in some KSU basketball and we didn't even have to drive to Manhattan. The Cats played West Virginia in the Wichita Wildcat Classic downtown at the Intrust Bank Arena.
I wasn't sure how the crowd would react when Coach Bob Huggins was introduced. I soon learned that we Cat Fans are the class act I always knew we were. They gave him a warm welcome as did Frank and the rest of the team. As we should....Huggins brought us Coach Martin.
Coaches meet before the game with a handshake.....
and a good ol' fashion "man hug".
Mr. Kstate, Ernie Barrett, even has a warm welcome for him.
Before the game started both coaches were brought to mid-court where Coach Huggins presented Coach Martin with a basketball representing his 100th win for KSU which he achieved on Sunday.
The boys like to take pics so the next couple are from them....Blake's favorite person...Willie!!
Brett's....#42 Gipson Brett's fav player this year. He's a freshman and he's a big boy. We hope to see a lot of him on the court the next 4 years.
KSU has definately given us a bang for our buck this year. The football team gave us 4 OT's in the Texas A & M game, and the basketball team gave us 2 OT's last night. End of regulation.....
End of 1st OT.
End of 2nd OT.
It was a hard fought game...neck and neck the whole way. Unfortunately the Cats didn't pull out the win. This obviously won't be our last meeting with West Virginia as they are joining the Big 12 next year. Welcome Mountaineers!!

Isn't that a sweet picture of Blake. Their little rubber necks, I always wondered how Sydney could sleep like that in her car seat. Looks like it was an awesome game, sorry it was nota win. My relatives are happy though, West Virginians.
