The Kansas State men saw another close game slip down the drain in the final minutes on Saturday, falling at home to TCU, 77-68.
The Wildcats trailed for the entire second half but managed to keep it within a couple of possessions until a 9-0 run in the final minutes put it out of reach.
“So, do you have a record player? Have you ever seen the 33-inch vinyls? Right? Have you ever had one that had a bad scratch on it? That’s what we have,” interim head coach Matthew Driscoll said of the Wildcats’ late-game struggles. “We put it on the record player, and it plays and plays and plays and plays and plays, and then it hits that scratch and it just (circles). We get there, and then for whatever reason, we just can’t break through.”
The loss is the third straight for the Wildcats, and the ninth loss in the last 10 games.
