And when Trae Young doesn’t play well …
Oof. The Oklahoma freshman who had captured the nation’s attention with his fluid and seemingly effortless play was held to a human level by Kansas State on Tuesday night.
The Wildcats rocked Young and the fourth-ranked Sooners 87-69 in what was easily Kansas State’s most satisfying effort of the season, and a much-needed morale boost after Saturday’s demoralizing one-point loss at Kansas.
Tuesday was K-State at its best. Barry Brown carried the load early on, and after setting the pace Dean Wade, Cartier Diarra and Xavier Sneed played supporting roles perfectly.
