Kansas State eclipsed 80 points on Kansas’ home floor but still got blown out, 102-83 Tuesday night in Lawrence. The No. 5 Jayhawks (23-4, 12-2 Big 12) shot an impressive 15-24 (62.5%) from three-point range and scored more than 100 points for only the second time in the 297 meetings between the Wildcats (14-13, 6-9) and Jayhawks.
K-State cleaned up the most glaring weakness from the teams’ first meeting, as the Cats only lost the rebounding battle 32-30. Of course, that impression may be skewed, given that KU hardly ever missed shots.
The Wildcats, for their own part, shot 47% from the floor (32-68), including 11-32 from three-point range (34%).
