Jerome Tang’s postgame speech and actions reveal that the Wildcats have a true leader.
In critical moments, both on the court and off, the best coaches are those who lead not only in victory but also in defeat. On Saturday, Kansas State coach Jerome Tang displayed everything a program would desire from a leadership perspective.

If you thought the chaos was only happening on the court between FAU and Kansas State, the Owls radio play-by-play announcer was dealing with his own kind of March Madness.
Ken LaVicka was in the middle of calling the final thirty seconds of a history making moment for Florida Atlantic fans listening on the radio. Everything had gone right for the entire game, up until eighteen seconds left on the clock.

Ryan Reaves of the Minnesota Wild is one of the toughest customers in the National Hockey League, but he was no match for one strong batch of smelling salts.
