After a relatively slow start in the first half, the Texas Longhorns executed at a high level offensively in the second half to outscore the Kansas State Wildcats by 17 points over the final 20 minutes in Manhattan to spark a 67-47 victory to open Big 12 play.
The Wildcats don’t have a particularly deep bench in the best of circumstances and started the conference slate without star forward Dean Wade and steady guard Kamau Stokes. Without those two players in the lineup, the Wildcats struggled offensively, hitting less than 33 percent from the field overall.
