Kansas State got their signature win, broke a winless streak against ranked opponents, and kept their slim NCAA tournament hopes alive by knocking off Oklahoma 80-69. Tonight's game showed a tenacity and fight that the Wildcats missed all last season, and the ability to close the game strongly. It is hard to overstate how big a victory this game was for the Wildcats.
The 'Cats started with a different starting line up for only the third time this season, as Bruce Weber sent a message to both Justin Edwards and Dean Wade by leaving them on the bench.
