K-STATE TRAVELS TO OKLAHOMA STATE ON SATURDAY
- Kansas State (14-11, 6-7 Big 12) begins a 2-game road trip this Saturday, as the Wildcats travel to Stillwater, Okla., to take on Oklahoma State (12-13, 5-8 Big 12) at 1 p.m., CT on ESPNU. K-State won the first meeting in dramatic fashion, as sophomore Nijel Pack hit the game-winning 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds for a 71-68 win at home on Feb. 2.
- The win against the Cowboys on Feb. 2 started the recent surge by the Wildcats, as they have won 4 of their last 5 games, including consecutive wins against Iowa State and West Virginia in Big 12 play for the third time this season. After starting in an 0-4 hole, the team has won 6 of their last 9 vs. league competition (losses to Kansas and Baylor (twice).
- The biggest factor in K-State’s improved play in the last 5 games has been its diversity in scoring, as 4 Wildcats scored in double figures in 3 of the 4 wins, including the back-to-back victories at Iowa State and at home to West Virginia.
