Kansas State will unveil “Tex Winter Drive” on Saturday, a road on campus that honors the former K-State basketball coach and Naismith Hall of Fame inductee.

The drive runs from Kimball Avenue to Bramlage Coliseum and the basketball training facility.

A 9 a.m. ceremony Saturday will include words from former K-State All-American Ernie Barrett and athletic director John Currie. K-State plays host to Oklahoma State at 11.
