After the tough loss to BYU at the start of Big 12 play, Kansas State has had a blowout win at home vs. Oklahoma State and has traveled to a very hostile environment and won a close one against Colorado. The Wildcats are in search of a Big 12 title for the first time since 2022, and with OSU and Utah both having two losses this season, they are in a great position to do so.
Right now, the biggest competitors in the Big 12 for the Wildcats are Iowa State and BYU, and one loss would put the Wildcats on top of the Big 12. Granted, the Wildcats don't have to be the top team to make it to the Big 12 Championship; they just need to be one of the top two teams, so a loss to Iowa State would be ideal.
The next step for Kansas State is to focus on the game ahead of them, and the game ahead of them this week is against West Virginia. This is a tight series between K-State and West Virginia, with one team leading by just one game in the series. With some injuries, Kansas State will have to really work in practice to not let the Mountaineers have long drives on offense.
