Kansas State Wildcats vs. Wichita State Shockers

Kansas State Wildcats vs. Wichita State Shockers at T-Mobile Center

Purple or Shocker colors? Kansas State and Wichita State give Kansas basketball allegiance a December date at T-Mobile Center. The 14th Wildcat Classic brings the programs together on December 11, with enough recent history to make revisiting the matchup part of the fun.

This is their 36th meeting, and Kansas State leads the series 23–12. But that overall edge doesn't tell you what happened in their latest encounter: Wichita State won 84–65 in 2024. K-State won their 2023 meeting on this same Kansas City floor, 69–60. Each fan has a result to remember while looking forward to a new one.

In-state loyalty travels to Kansas City. This is a K-State home-designated game at T-Mobile Center, giving Wildcats supporters an established Classic occasion and Shockers followers a familiar program to face. You can come because your school matters to you or because a meeting between these two Kansas teams sounds like the basketball outing you want.

The anticipation belongs to the current contest, too. Earlier scores don't decide this game. They simply put some feeling behind the names while you wait to see how the next meeting unfolds. That's a satisfying reason to turn a Friday date into something you look forward to.
