College basketball reporter Jeff Goodman first reported the news. Achor departs K-State after playing in just seven games in a purple uniform. He was expected to be an impact transfer when he signed with the Wildcats last summer, but things didn’t work out that way for him in Manhattan.

The Kansas State men’s basketball team has lost a key member of its frontcourt midway through the season. Achor Achor, a 6-foot-9 and 227-pound senior forward, is no longer on the roster. He decided to step away from the Wildcats for “personal reasons,” according to a news release issued by K-State.

The Wildcats are running out of opportunities to strengthen their NCAA Tournament resume before Big 12 games arrive. If they don’t finish strong in the non-conference portion of their schedule they will be forced to win many league games to have any shot at an at-large berth into March Madness.

The Kansas State Wildcats released senior forward Achor Achor, per college analyst Jeff Goodman. He averaged 7.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists this seaso
