Managing Editor of KstateOnline.com Matt Hall answers questions about Kansas State basketball as the NCAA tournament starts up soon. Hall also covers football season, as spring ball is underway.

The Kansas State Wildcats basketball program gets ready for the conference and NCAA tournament and the football program is kicking off spring practices under new head coach Chris Klieman and his staff. Managing Editor of K-StateOnline.com Matt Hall answers some questions about the Cats and where the programs currently stand.

What is left for Wildcats basketball program to have a successful season?

Honestly, nothing. They could lose the first round in KC and the first round in the NCAA Tournament and I’d call the season a success. Going 14-4 in the league, 14-2 when remotely healthy, to win a conference title and snap KU’s streak has made this season a success no matter what happens the rest of the way.

Now, of course you want more. The team does, too. And I’d expect there is more to come, but the season is a success at this point no matter what happens the ret of the way.

How good is Barry Brown?

He’s one of the best players in the Big 12 conference and one of the hardest workers anywhere. He’s been as important to the K-State basketball program as probably any individual athlete has been for any Wildcat sport program in a long, long time.

Knowledge or insight into the Cartier Diarra injury? When will he be back?

No, there’s nothing behind the scenes to worry about. And he’ll be back on the court playing this week in KC.
