    By on Sports

    Kansas State men’s basketball head coach Jerome Tang will serve as the Drum Honoree before Sunday’s game between the Chiefs and Bears.

    At every home game, the Chiefs organization invites an honored guest – Drum Honoree – to bang the team’s 8-foot-tall drum and lead the Arrowhead faithful in the Chop right before kickoff.

    The second-year head coach, whose team is set to tip off preparations for the 2023-24 season on Monday, led K-State to a memorable 2022-23 season that included 26 wins and a run to the Elite Eight.
