The Wildcats’ magical run ends with 78-62 loss in Elite Eight It took until the Elite Eight, but the absence of Dean Wade finally caught up to Kansas State. Loyola Chicago looked nothing like a Cinderella story Saturday evening, punching its ticket to the Final Four via a thorough, 78-62 dismantling of the Wildcats in Atlanta. The recipe K-State used to reach the South Region title game — one of stifling defense and transition offense — didn’t stand a chance against a team powered by flawless execution, fate, or both. The Ramblers shot 57 percent, including 50 percent from long…

ALMA — No charges will be filed in the fatal shooting death of a man last month in Wabaunsee County. County Attorney Tim Liesmann announced Thursday that the shooting of 36-year-old Chad Thomas-Buckbee in Alma was a justified self-defense shooting. Liesmann said the shooting occurred after Thomas-Buckbee began acting aggressively toward a family member, who tried to lock him out of the house.

K-State did what it needed to do against a more talented team — play the game at its own pace. Bruce Weber’s team jumped out to an early 13-1 lead and never let Kentucky take control of the game, although the Wildcats…
