It will be an afternoon full of emotion for Kansas State star forward Keyontae Johnson, as the Wildcats welcome the Florida Gators to the Little Apple.

 

Johnson spent three seasons with the Gators, before a scary collapse left him hospitalized during the 2020-2021 season. At the time, Johnson was viewed as a top NBA prospect, and has battled back from adversity to become a vital piece for Kansas State, as well as have the opportunity at an NBA future once again.

 

The Wildcats have a tough schedule ahead this week, with Florida today before a trip to Lawrence on Tuesday.

 

The Gators play excellent defense and are more than capable of beating any opponent on any given night. The Wildcats will look to get back on track after losing a tough game on the road against a talented Iowa State team.

 

Coverage of the Kansas State Wildcats and the Florida Gators begins at 5 p.m. CT on the Mighty 690, KGGF. Tip is scheduled for 6.
