Big 12 Today Recaps the 2025-2026 Season!
Join Ari and James for a full court review of the 2025-2026 Big 12 basketball season. In Modelo's Big 12 Basketball Team Recaps, this episode features Kansas State.
During the review, Ari and James dive into the Wilcats' season — analyzing what went wrong, what they can improve on in the offseason, and the key roster changes through the transfer portal. They also discuss what to expect from new head coach Casey Alexander in his first season.
Ryan Gilbert, Managing Editor of GoPowerCat.com, joined Big 12 Today to recap the Kansas State Wildcats' recent season. The team faced several challenges, starting with the departure of head coach Jerome Tang, who was dismissed by Kansas State in February.
This offseason, Casey Alexander was brought in as the new coach. Kansas State is setting its sights on improving its defense next season, a area that proved to be a significant struggle this past year.
While there is confidence that the team's offense will be sufficient, the focus remains on bolstering the defensive side of the game. Ryan discusses the realistic goals for the Wildcats, emphasizing that making the NCAA Tournament is a priority—though he notes that fans should be understanding if it doesn't happen in the first year, given the circumstances.
