Less than one football field away, inside the multi-purpose, 12,000-seat Ford Center, which is connected to the World Corporate Headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys, the school colors and banners of Big 12 Conference schools sway to either the side of "the big stage," elevated on a large ...

Eager to Make an Impact
For four weeks, it's been a constant grind, a simple schedule, an ease-in approach with an hour of weights and a 50-minute practice at Ice Family Basketball Center. The Kansas State men's basketball team, compiled of players from across the country but shooting for the same goal, eats breakfast together, competes hard on the court and gels off the court, consumed in a world of their own — a world that at the end of the day typically includes video games and a couch.
