Makol Mawien made a layup and flexed his muscles. Kansas State led Kennesaw State by double digits and the home crowd roared in approval on Friday at Bramlage Coliseum.
Things were going as expected for the Wildcats in their first basketball game of the season … finally.
Though they went on to beat the Owls 56-41, this contest was too close for comfort until the final minutes.
Kennesaw State led at various times throughout the first half and stayed within single digits until K-State found separation with a 6-0 run, capped by Mawien’s layup, with 7 minutes, 30 seconds remaining.
