QUOTABLE: "It's the Big 12," K-State coach Jerome Tang said about the season outlook after the TCU loss. "If we'd won the game, it's still the same. You have to flush it, kind of like golfers and tennis players. You know, it's one point, you move on to the next. It's one game. We have to move on to the next. We flush it and we start preparation. Preparation starts with treatment and whatever we have to do right now. We don't get to travel back tonight. So, we have to take care of their bodies, get them food and rest, and start our scout on Oklahoma State."
