Battle in Seattle - K State
Looks like the Zags will play K State in the Battle of Seattle. Bruce Weber said when he took the Kansas State job he had to finish the schedule. The Wildcats already had a return game against Florida in Kansas City and are in the NIT Season Tip-Off as one of the four hosts (Pitt, Virginia and Michigan are the other three). Weber finished the marquee portion of the schedule by signing up to play in the Battle of Seattle against Gonzaga. Weber had enjoyed his series with the Zags at Illinois and wanted to continue to challenge the Wildcats. "It’s a fine line,’’ Weber said. "You want to win games early but with a good team you want to make sure you challenge yourself.’’
