At the start of Big 12 play, the Wildcats looked like a mess. They got drilled by Texas in a 20-point loss, and with Kamau Stokes and Dean Wade down, Kansas State looked like it was going to struggle to accomplish anything positive in the league.

If you think Virginia is only about defense, then you haven’t watched Virginia play in 2019.
