Wildcat's senior Ques Glover will miss this game and the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery in January to repair a knee injury he suffered prior to the start of this season.
This injury, which he suffered in a preseason exhibition game, was initially expected to keep Glover on the sidelines for 6–8 weeks, but it ended up ending his season after re-aggravating the initial injury.
Glover spent two seasons at Florida, where he played in 51 total games before transferring to Samford in 2021. He spent two seasons at Samford before transferring to Kansas State after an injury-plagued 2022–23 season.
Glover averaged 10.3 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game across his four college basketball seasons. He appeared in 99 games over two seasons with Florida and Samford, starting 46 of them.
