Tang is tired of blaming himself and decided to take a different approach after K-State suffered an 80-76 loss against UCF on Wednesday at Addition Financial Arena in Orlando.

Kansas State basketball coach Jerome Tang challenged his team to take ownership after Wednesday's loss at Central Florida.

Kansas State is 9-5 at home this season, boasting several blowout victories playing in front of the Wildcats' fanbase. Coach Jerome Tang calls for fans to maintain that standard of intimidation as the team approaches its final stretch.

One disappointing stat for K-State was that it got 24 points off of UCF turnovers and still lost a road game that was up for grabs. Coleman Hawkins missed his second straight game with an injury. There is no timetable for his return.

Kansas State battled back from double-digit deficits in each half but dropped their fourth straight game Wednesday night against UCF in Orlando.

Kansas State is officially the streakiest team in college basketball, and it will cost them a NCAA Tournament bid when the selection committee gets together in a couple of weeks.

Jerome Tang entered the postgame interview visibly frustrated after the UCF loss. Offensive ineptitude halted what could have been a relatively simple victory. Wildcats stars Dug McDaniel and David N'Guessan couldn't rally the team without Coleman Hawkins in the star lineup.
