Kansas State Blows 18-Point Lead in 84-82 Loss at TCU, Extending Skid to Four

The collapse sharpened scrutiny of Jerome Tang’s tenure after reports of illness plus injuries limited Kansas State.

Overview

  • The Wildcats fell to 10-13 overall and 1-9 in Big 12 play after Saturday’s defeat in Fort Worth.
  • TCU’s Xavier Edmonds scored 10 of the Horned Frogs’ final 11 points and sank two free throws with 6.7 seconds left for their first lead.
  • Kansas State committed three turnovers in the final 1:25, including a P.J. Haggerty travel up three and a late giveaway after the go-ahead free throws.
  • Haggerty finished with 30 points for Kansas State, while Marcus Johnson added 15 on five made threes.
  • The TNT broadcast reported a flu bug and ongoing injuries reduced K-State’s availability, as the program faces growing external pressure on Tang’s leadership with some reports citing a buyout near $18 million.
