Wake Forest Vs. Kansas State Live Stream
“We just had to out-tough them the last few minutes”, Johnson said.
The NCAA First Four begins Tuesday at UD Arena, with New Orleans (20-11) and Mount St. Mary’s (19-15) squaring off in the opening game for a shot to face top-seeded Villanova, followed by a matchup of Kansas State (20-13) and Wake Forest (19-12) with sixth-seeded Cincinnati awaiting the victor.
Stokes had a rough first half with four turnovers but he got it turned around quickly in the second half. Foul trouble limited him in the second half, but he finished the game with 7 points, 4 rebounds, and an assist.
The total has gone OVER in 15 of Wake Forest’s last 17 games.

Wake Forest is one of the best scoring teams in the entire field and if the Demon Deacons get going the Wildcats have no chance of keeping up.

Wade is a rare player with the size to bang with brutes inside and the skill to step outside and make opposing defenses cringe. All he cared about was landing a spot in the 68-team NCAA field. Kansas State’s Bruce Weber was an assistant at Purdue when Manning led Kansas to the national title. That didn’t matter to the Wildcats, who only wanted the opportunity.

So what does that mean for the Big 12 as the NCAAs get into full-gear mode today around the noon hour? On the floor, Drake is led by 2017 Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and All-MVC First Team selection Lizzy Wendell and MVC Freshman of the Year Beca Hittner.
Only one of Wake Forest’s top seven scorers – graduate transfer Austin Arians (8.5 ppg) – is a senior. But it’s an incredibly good sign. K-State’s 27 points off free throws were a season high. In fact, it beat Baylor twice, and it appears that the win over the Bears in the Big 12 tournament may have gotten the Wildcats into the field.
