K-State's Jerome Tang on bouncing back after the disappointing loss to LSU: "Yes, yeah, for the most part, yes. I've seen a response from the staff, from myself, from the team. Yeah, I like our last two practices, today was a lighter [practice]. It wasn't the guys, it was the staff. We didn't prepare them for that level of competition and with the emotional attachment that they would have. Yeah, that was that fully the staff's fault."
