A game pitting two desperate 10-10 teams against each other in Bramlage Coliseum Wednesday night fittingly came down to the last possession. Thanks to the heroic play of sophomore guard Nijel Pack, Kansas State prevailed over the Oklahoma State Cowboys by a final score of 71-68.
With the game tied 68-68 and 12 seconds to play, K-State’s Markquis Nowell launched a three-point attempt from above the circle. It missed, but Pack tied up the Oklahoma State rebounder. The possession arrow gave the ball back to the Wildcats. After the inbounds pass, Pack dribbled the ball between the circles, broke down Cowboys’ point guard Isaac Likekele, and launched a game-winning three point bucket over his head from about 24 feet.
