Junior P.J. Haggerty led K-State with 24 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals in his first Big 12 game. Abdi Bashir Jr. added 16 points and hit all three of the Wildcats’ 3-pointers. David Castillo scored 13 points and Khamari McGriff finished with 12.

K-State scored 48 points in the paint and forced 19 turnovers but was out-rebounded 47-35.
