So, this guy lists his top 40 KSU basketball players...

[Ira Hayes]

Darryl Winston

Former Kansas State basketball player and coach Darryl Winston told The Manhattan Mercury that he wants revenge against the Orange:

"We owe Syracuse one and I'm sticking by that.
"The Syracuse game was so tough because we were playing for the Final Four and we had the game won. We messed up some defensive assignments and the guy just caught the ball and threw up a lucky hook and it went in. I'll vividly remember that game for the rest of my life."

When the Orange takes the court this time against K-State it'll be without center Fab Melo, who is ineligible for the tournament.

Thanks man.....I am so flattered that some still remember me. I busted my butt for our fans and it is an honor to still be remembered. Tyrone Davis #44 94-96 All Big 8 team

My list would include:
Tyrone Davis. Surely some remember him. Played on Asbury's NCAA team. Fought an injury is senior year, but still averaged like 14 plus point.
Mike Wroblewski, blew up his senior season when the center averaged 19 points a game and was all-american. Still owns he K-State single-game scoring record against KU, I think.
Carl Gerlach. Was in the same class as Chuckie Williams. 6-11 center was a 10+ per game scorer and 8+ per game rebounder as junior and senior and a very good defensive player.
Larry Dassie. Was a juco player. 6-4 power forward Really came on as a senior when he averaged 13 points and 8.7 rebounds on the 1977 Big 8 championship team (K-State's last). Died young in a car crash in Spain while playing for a team there.
Small forward Jerry Venerable 15.5 points, 7.9 rebound in two years as a juco transfer. All conference on Cotton's 1970 championship team.
Dean Harris. What could have been? Died in a car wreck the summer after his freshmen year. Started as a 6-8 power forward as a freshman averaging 7.4 points and 6.5 rebounds.
Ernie Kusnyer. 6-5 forward average 12.7 pts and 7.5 rebs. in three year career 71, 72, 73. Was on two Big 8 championship teams.
Steve Honeycutt, point guard on Tex's last Big 8 championship team. Played 67 through 69. Didn't keep assists back then or he'd probably be near top. Also gets Zeigler off the list.
Others, Randy Reed, Tony Kitt, Larry Williams, Charles Bledsoe
