Kansas State basketball faces the latest in what has been a yearlong challenge on Saturday in its Big 12 road opener in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Wildcats (7-5, 1-0 Big 12), who take on TCU (7-5, 0-1) in a 3 p.m. game at Schollmaier Arena looking to end an 11-game road losing streak. They have not won a true road game since beating West Virginia last Jan. 9 in Morgantown.
K-State did open Big 12 play Monday with a 70-67 upset victory against No. 17 Cincinnati at Bramlage Coliseum, snapping a three-game nonconference skid. Two of those losses came at St. John’s (88-71) and Wichita State (84-65) after the Wildcats led at halftime.
