In college basketball, an era rarely concludes with a slow fade. More often, it vanishes suddenly with a brutal pivot from hope to heartbreak, ending in an instant what took years to build. So it was Saturday as the curtain fell on one of the best two-year stretches in Kansas State women’s basketball history — and the historic careers of a record-breaking class — with a 67-61 loss to No. 1 seed Southern California in the Sweet 16.

The fifth-seeded Wildcats successfully defended four potential game-winners in the final 21 seconds of overtime, holding on to upset fourth-seeded Kentucky 80-79 on its home floor in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Sunday afternoon.

Serena Sundell broke the Kansas State record for career assists Sunday in the Wildcats’ 80-79 overtime win over Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament second round, but that personal accomplishment was hardly a blip on the radar in comparison. The senior point guard already set the program’s best mark for assists in a single season earlier this year, and her 14 assists Sunday were one shy of the single-game record she rewrote on Feb. 22.

Temira Poindexter transferred to Kansas State this season because she wanted to play in the NCAA Tournament. She didn’t just participate as a member of the team on Sunday. She put on one of the most legendary performances in school history, as she powered the fifth-seeded Wildcats to their first Sweet 16 berth since 2002.

Here's the bow I've tied on Kansas State's season; the careers of Ayoka Lee, Serena Sundell and Jaelyn Glenn; and my time covering this team through a busy, exciting and humbling three years. Thanks for reading. This beat was the highlight of my career. https://t.co/Ps0LB9zsfk
That's the end of an era. Kansas State ends its season -- and the careers of Ayoka Lee, Jaelyn Glenn, Serena Sundell and Temira Poindexter -- with a 67-61 loss to USC in the Sweet 16.
