For the first time since 2001, Wichita State men’s basketball defeated Kansas State University (K-State).

The Shockers won, 84-65, on Saturday evening in Charles Koch Arena to end a four-year series with the Wildcats. The win is the second-largest margin of victory over K-State in program history.

Fifth-year guard Xavier Bell said the win took a team effort from everyone.
