For the first time this season, the Cowboys were in a Big 12 matchup where COVID-19 played a role.
Oklahoma State beat Kansas State 70-54 on Saturday with the Wildcats missing three players because of COVID-19 protocols. K-State was without starting guard Nijel Pack, who averages 10.7 points per game, as well as Antonio Gordon, who has started four games, and Seryee Lewis.
With injuries, K-State had eight scholarship players available on a team that has already struggled this season. OSU learned a lesson from its 19-point blown lead against West Virginia and showed no mercy to the Wildcats.
