K-State coach Jerome Tang on the matchup: "The five out offense that they run. You know, multiple guys out there who can make shots, (Jordan) Sears is really, really good. I think he was number two in the country in ball screen offense last year, only behind Dug McDaniel. And I mean, he's just a terrific player, and you can't, like, feed him a steady diet of one thing, because he's going to figure it out. And then, obviously, Cam (Carter) can make shots."
