In the third game of the season, facing a level of competition they have not seen yet this year, MSU came up short, falling to Kansas 77-69. But if I am going to be honest, MSU made this a much tighter game than I thought it would be. While Kansas jumped out to a considerable lead right off the bat, MSU battled back to draw even and even held a lead for a few minutes in the middle of the first half.
The Jayhawks finished the half strong, going from down 18-16 to up 30-20 before Jase Richardson had a four-point play to send the teams to the locker rooms with Kansas us 30-24.
