QUOTABLE: “I’m excited, it’s a big opportunity for us," K-State's Coleman Hawkins said about facing Iowa State. "I know they’re really good defensively. Played against them last year when they were the No. 1 ranked defense in the country. I feel like we can use some of the things they do defensively to our advantage. I know they post-double, I know their heavy influence of going baseline and they put two to the ball. We’re gonna put together a game plan to go out and try to go beat them and get one on the road.”
