With a 14-point lead in the first half, Kansas State was playing some of its best basketball in nearly three weeks. Then, the Wildcats lost their composure, and the lead followed. Wednesday night’s 80-68 loss to Oklahoma State followed an all-too-familiar pattern for the Wildcats. The energy and passion to win was not there; at least when it absolutely needed to be. The Cowboys outscored K-State 61-35 after the Wildcats took a 33-19 lead with six minutes to play in the first half.

But opponents, including a state agency that oversees KanCare, say it would be a huge cost to the state. A…

Hill pointed to disarray with landlords and distrust with the city.
