The Kansas State Wildcats hosted the Jacksonville Dolphins in a rare midweek matinee Monday and dominated from the start in a 70-46 Wildcat victory.
There is an old adage in basketball that shooters gain confidence by seeing the ball go through the hoop. Maybe watching Baylor pour in fourteen three-point buckets Saturday inspired K-State, because the Cats started the game 8-12 from deep in building a 19-point halftime lead. They would cool off and finish 11-32 (34.4%) from outside, but once the Cats established a double-digit lead at the 9:32 mark of the first half, they never allowed the Dolphins to get within single digits again.
