MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) -All-Big 12 guard Kimberly Dietz's career at No. 15 Kansas State has been cut short because of a left knee injury.
Dietz, the Wildcats' leading scorer, was injured Wednesday in a loss to Iowa State in the Big 12 tournament.
``We are saddened for Kimberly that she has lost her opportunity to compete in the NCAA tournament during her senior season,'' coach Deb Patterson said Friday. ``She will be with us each step of the way through our postseason NCAA tournament run and travels. She will be back to 100 percent and has great post-collegiate basketball opportunities ahead of her.''
Kansas State, the regular-season Big 12 champion, will learn its seeding and pairing for the NCAA tournament on Sunday.
