Kansas State’s athleticism was on full display Saturday, creating an impressive highlight package while routing Nebraska 71-56 in Kansas City.
Naturally, Keyontae Johnson led the way, going for an efficient 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting and adding 11 rebounds for his second double-double as a Wildcat. The dynamic senior also came away with a team-high three steals, one of which turned into an emphatic one-handed slam at the other end.
A few moments later, Nae’Qwan Tomlin happily accepted a free path to the basket along the baseline for a two-handed dunk. That capped off a 12-3 run to put the Wildcats ahead 37-24 and less than a minute later David N’Guessan caught a Markquis Nowell lob for another tomahawk dunk just before the halftime buzzer.
