ABOUT KANSAS STATE (18-12, 7-10): The roller-coaster season continues for the Wildcats, who bounced back from an 81-51 defeat against Oklahoma last Saturday with a 75-74 victory at TCU on Wednesday. A victory over Texas Tech would give them an argument for NCAA Tournament inclusion. K-State can clinch the No. 6 seed at the Big 12 Tournament with a win.

Coach Bruce Weber will stick with his normal starting lineup, but he hopes to be in a position to play all five of the seniors.
