Paint the Town Purple!

Last night the Wildcats played basketball against West Virginia University here in Wichita at INTRUST Bank Arena.  This game was particular exciting because it put K-State's former coach, Bob Huggins, against his former assistant coach and now K-State head coach, Frank Martin.  Both of these coaches are what I would call "passionate" on the court so it made for an entertaining evening.

The other cool thing about the game was that it allowed Wichita to shine in the national spotlight.  The arena was filled (15,004 to be exact) and the fans were on fire!  My social media feeds were full of people praising our city for being such great hosts and in his post-game interview, Frank Martin even commented on the impressive showing and said he thinks they should come back to Wichita more often. 

Even though the Cats lost in double overtime I think it was a successful night all the way around!
