Most prognosticators (ahem, guilty party here) predicted a low-scoring slugfest between Kansas State and TCU to open the Big 12 Championship in Kansas City, likely with the winner decided in the closing minutes of the game. Behind the hot shooting of Nijel Pack and another stellar team defensive effort, no such drama unfolded, as K-State (9-19, 4-14 Big 12) pulled away from TCU (12-14, 5-11) for an easy 71-50 victory.
The Wildcats opened the game intent on getting the ball to the rim and locking down defensively.
