Last year the Kansas State Women’s basketball team was known for shooting from beyond the arc, this year they will focus more on getting to the free throw line.

First year Head Coach, Jeff Mittie explained Tuesday during K-State Basketball Media Day that the Wildcats led the Big 12 in 3-point shooting last year but was near the bottom of the league for free-throw shooting.

“They shot a ton of three’s last year. We probably don’t have that same ability to do that this year, but I do think that we can get to the free-throw line better than a year ago,” said Mittie. “I do think that the inside game is developing, so those are the area’s we are going to improve.”

Defensively Mittie feels his team should be able to be solid across the board.

“They have good length, size and strength to them. I think Breanna Lewis inside can really cause some people can really cause some people some problems. They grasp that quicker than offense.”

The Wildcats will feature a roster of 10 returning letter winners and four newcomers. They will be paced by seniors Ashia Woods and Haley Texada, and sophomores Breanna Lewis and Kindred Wesemann.
