The 2010–11 Kansas State Wildcats men's basketball team represents Kansas State University in the 2010-11 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The head coach is Frank Martin,^[1] who is serving 4th year at the helm of the Wildcats. The team plays its home games in Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kansas. Kansas State is a member of the Big 12 Conference. The Wildcats begin conference play with a trip to Stillwater, Oklahoma and faced the Oklahoma State Cowboys and finished the conference game at home against Iowa State Cyclones with a 10–6 record, placing 4th. They lost in Big 12 Tournament Quarterfinals to Colorado Buffaloes, 87–75, and attended the 2011 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. In NCAA Tournament, they beat Utah State, 73–68 in second round, and lost to Wisconsin, 70–65 in third round.

Preseason

The team plays their home games at the Bramlage Coliseum, which has a capacity of 12,528.^[2] They are in their 15th season as a member of the Big 12 Conference.^[3] Coming back from their 2009–10 season, they compiled a record of 28–8 and advanced to the Elite Eight of the 2010 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.^[4]

However, Kansas State lost star player Denis Clemente to graduation, whom Blue Ribbon Yearbook called their "emotional leader".^[4] Clemente was the team's second leading scorer at 16.6 points per game, and led the team in assists, dishing out 4.2 per game.^[5] Bench players Luis Colon and Chris Merriewether, a former walk-on, also graduated.^[6] In addition, starting forward Dominique Sutton, known for his defensive capabilities, transferred to North Carolina Central University to be closer to his family. In 2009–10, he averaged 7.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.^[7]

Despite the losses, the Wildcats were regarded as one of the best teams coming into the 2010–11 season. The preseason ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, released on October 21, had them as the #3 team in NCAA Division I.^[8]
