I am from Emporia kansas and have attended many Emporia State basketball games and I am sorry K-State did not rip Emporia State. ESU was with in the lead or head to head clear through about 8 minutes left in the game. Tell me what other D-2 school as the determination that ESU had last night going against a Big 12 school. Coach Moe is doing a hella of a job at ESU keep the good work up MOE. I am sure Coach Moe with agree with me when I say this rock chalk ku!
