Division II Fort Hays State earned its first win of the season Tuesday—over 2019 Big 12 regular-season champion Kansas State.
Per a statement from the school, Kansas State was originally scheduled to play Butler on Saturday in the Big 12/Big East battle, but that game was canceled because of COVID-19 issues with Butler. In its place, a game between Kansas State and Milwaukee originally set for Tuesday was moved to Friday, and Kansas State scheduled Fort Hays for Tuesday night.
The Wildcats had won just once heading into Tuesday's game, with a Nov. 30 victory over UM Kansas City coming amid losses to Drake, Colorado and UNLV.
