The Kansas State Wildcats women's basketball has a new addition.
On Thursday, it was announced the team signed center Tzoana Tampakou from Greece. The 6-foot-5 Tampakou played for Greece at the 2025 FIBA U20 Women's EuroBasket Division B. She averaged 6.0 points on a 50 percent shooting with 7.3 rebounds in seven games.
"We are excited to add Tzoana for the upcoming year," Wildcats coach Jeff Mittie. "She is a true center that has excellent skill around the basket with both hands and a great feel for the pick and roll and high-low game."
2029 FOOTBALL OPPONENT ANNOUNCED
The Kansas State athletic department recently announced a new addition to the football schedule for 2029.
The Wildcats will play host to Sam Houston State Bearkats Sept. 19 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. This is the third time the Wildcats will host the Bearkats.
K-State is currently gearing up for its first season under coach Collin Klein. He is a former star quarterback for the program and getting his first chance as the man in charge. Klein spent the last two seasons at the offensive coordinator for the Texas A & M Aggies.
The Wildcats, who were 6-6 last season, were picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 conference by the media. They are led by quarterback Avery Johnson, who is entering his third season as the starter.
THREE PLAYERS MAKE 'WATCH' LISTS
They were three of the Kansas State Wildcats chosen to represent the school at Big 12 Media Days last month in Frisco, Texas, so naturally Joe Jackson, Avery Johnson and John Pastore are getting some preseason love.
All three made the cut for the national award "Watch" list at their respective positions. A senior quarterback, Johnson and Jackson (running back) were both on the Maxwell Award list. The honor is given annually to the nation's most outstanding player. Pastore was on the Outland Trophy list, which is reserved for the best offensive lineman in the country.
