MANHATTAN, Kan. — It was a roller coaster of emotions for fans who packed Kite's Bar and Grill in Manhattan, Kansas, on Thursday evening to cheer on the Kansas State men's basketball team. The Wildcats advanced to the Elite 8 , but not before a back-and-forth battle with the Michigan State Spartans. Still, fans showed up in full force, hungry to watch a K-State victory. "Best ball game I've ever seen in my life," a fan told KSHB 41 News. In a game that had many lead changes and ties, K-State fan Brett Ward never lost hope.
