What you should know
#12 Kansas State Wildcats return home after a two-game road trip. K-State and the #19 Iowa State Cyclones will meet in a Big 12 matchup at 2pm ET on Saturday at Fred Bramlage Coliseum. The Cyclones will be strutting in with a win while K-State will be stumbling in with a loss.
The Wildcats fell well behind the Oklahoma Sooners when they played on Tuesday, losing 79-65. K-State got double-digit points from four players: forward Nae’Qwan Tomlin (17), guard Markquis Nowell (14), forward Keyontae Johnson (14) and center Abayomi Iyiola (11).
Meanwhile, the TCU Horned Frogs usually have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday, Iowa State proved too difficult a challenge. Iowa State took a comfortable 70-59 win. Their forward Aljaz Kunc looked sharp as he shot 5-for-8 from downtown and finished with 22 points and five boards.
The Wildcats are now 19-7 while the Cyclones sit at 17-8. A couple of stats to keep in mind as you watch: K-State has allowed its opponents an average of 7.5 steals per game, the 27th most in college basketball. To make matters worse for K-State, Iowa State enters the contest averaging 9.3 steals per game, good for 11th best in college basketball. In other words, K-State has to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
