Kansas State (13-8, 2-6 Big 12) held on for a 69-64 win over the Ole Miss Rebels (13-8, 3-5 SEC) in the third game of the Big 12/SEC Challenge. That gives the good guys a 3-2 lead in the event, in which the home team has won all five games so far. Also, K-State is now 3-1 against the SEC this year, their only loss to Texas A&M at College Station.
The win was built on a 19-2 run in the middle of the second half, punctuated by Barry Brown missing the second of two free throws, getting his own rebound, and draining a three for a huge four-point play that blew the game open.
