by Mason Voth • EMAWOnline – Managing Editor – @TheRealMasonV The Basketball Tournament is now in its 10th edition and in most of the years that it has been contested, K-State has had a team made up of former players (and some ringers) compete as “Purple and Black.” Purple and Black is 4-6 all-time in TBT and got a big win last season when Jacob Pullen hit a game-winning three at Koch Arena in Wichita.
