Behind four players scoring in double digits, the No. 14 Texas Longhorns overcame a slow start against the short-handed Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan, pulling out a 70-57 victory thanks a big run early in the second half.
Down to only seven scholarship players and without head coach Bruce Weber, Kansas State proved game early despite a small home crowd, leading for much of the first half.
But some strong play from the Texas frontcourt erased a six-point halftime lead for Kansas State as the Longhorns ripped off a decisive 18-2 run capped by two three-pointers by senior guard Courtney Ramey.
