Now, this is the team K-State fans expected to see this season. Barry Brown scored 25 points, Dean Wade added 20, and the Wildcats led No. 20 Oklahoma from wire-to-wire in a 74-61 win on the road in Norman, Oklahoma.
Along with Saturday’s win over No. 22 Iowa State, the win gave Bruce Weber consecutive road wins against ranked opponents for the first time in his K-State tenure. The last time the Wildcats accomplished the feat, Frank Martin’s last Wildcat team beat No. 9 Baylor and No. 3 Missouri in February of 2012.
The game showed how high K-State’s ceiling can be when Brown and Wade both play well, and play off each other.
