Fans gathered outside the Ice Family Basketball Center Thursday morning as the Wildcats departed for Spokane, Washington to play in the program’s first Sweet Sixteen since 2002.
Beverly Stewart has been a season ticket holder for eight years and says she’s looking forward to Saturday’s game against No. 1 USC.
“We’ve had so much fun with this team,” she said. “We just need to send them out with another V.”
Fans Mike and Donna Miller say they go to every women’s basketball game and have admired the team’s grit and toughness.
“When Ayoka (Lee) was out and to see the other girls come together and everybody works to be a team is what it’s all about,” said Mike Miller.
Donna Miller says it’s a big reason the team has come this far.
“They do a good job of representing Kansas State,” she said.
The Cats will play USC Saturday night at 7 pm. Radio coverage can be heard on News Radio KMAN and Sunny 102-5. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN.
