Lavender magic lives.
The Kansas State Wildcats broke out the throwback lavender-over-purple jerseys and played inspired basketball Saturday in Manhattan, holding Oklahoma State to only 18 first-half points on the way to a commanding 85-46 victory.
This one was over early. K-State (21-6, 11-3 Big 12) smothered Oklahoma State (10-17, 3-11) from the opening tip, running out to a 13-0 lead before the first media timeout. When play resumed, Mike McGuirl found Austin Trice for an uncontested dunk before the Cowboys Drew Likekele finally got his team on the board with two free throws.
