That left Bruce Weber’s team without 45 percent of its offensive production against a potential one-seed in the NCAA Tournament. Against long odds, K-State fought. They were just outgunned. No. 9 Kansas topped the Wildcats 83-67 at Sprint Center to advance to Saturday’s title game. Dean Wade missed the game with a foot injury he aggravated in Thursday’s win over TCU. The All-Big 12…
