You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him. We've got you covered from K-State's huge round of 32 win today.

Kansas State is doing what it did when starting slow offensively against Kentucky, which is playing solid defense to keep it close when the shots aren't falling. USC is 2 of 12 to start, though the three offensive boards are a bit concerning for the Wildcats.

Great play by Lee to force the held ball on her miss, then an excellent head fake to find Walker open for the 3.

That USC 3 at the end of the first quarter hurts. Kansas State did a great job sticking around, but scoring 9 and being down 7 doesn't feel great.

Kansas State is on a 10-0 run to start the second quarter and leads 19-16. Sundell with 4 straight after going scoreless in the first.

USC's been turnover prone in the second quarter. Four in 5 minutes, none in the first.

Triple-double watch for Sundell. Six points, four rebounds, four assists through 1.5 quarters.

And Kansas State has 9 points off of them.

Rough showing from Gisela Sanchez today. Four turnovers in six minutes.

Another late bucket for USC closes Kansas State's lead to 30-28. The Wildcats outscored the Trojans 21-9 in the second.

Serena Sundell loves to go scoreless in the first quarter and then be in double figures by halftime.

Ope, a little 10-0 USC run. The Wildcats look a little out of sorts.

12-0 now. Four turnovers in the last 4 minutes for K-State.

An understatement but Serena Sundell clearly doesn't want this to be her last game as a Wildcat. She has 18 points after 3 and is 10 of 11 at the foul line.

Zyanna Walker's been huge today

USC hasn't made a field goal in 4 minutes but is getting it done at the free-throw line.

That's the end of an era. Kansas State ends its season -- and the careers of Ayoka Lee, Jaelyn Glenn, Serena Sundell and Temira Poindexter -- with a 67-61 loss to USC in the Sweet 16.

Here's the bow I've tied on Kansas State's season; the careers of Ayoka Lee, Serena Sundell and Jaelyn Glenn; and my time covering this team through a busy, exciting and humbling three years. Thanks for reading. This beat was the highlight of my career. themercury.com/k_state_sports…

This fall, I'm going to take my talents to The Mercury Sports. I hope you can respect my decision.
