The Kansas State Wildcats fall to an angry flock of Jayhawks on Monday night. Instead of delivering the death blow to a fragile Kansas team, the No. 10 Wildcats didn’t bring enough lumber to hold off the No. 14 Jayhawks which are coming off of three straight losses in a row.
On all accounts , the in-state rival from these teams usually brings out a tougher match even if KU does come out victorious more often than not. However, K-State came out flat and KU had just a bit more to prove. By half-time the game was already over with K-State down by 18 with a score of 29 to 47. In the second half didn’t things didn’t fair any better as Kansas cruised to an uncontested 83 to 62 victory. Though Rodney McGruder had 20 points followed by Angel Rodriquez’s 17, K-State as a whole was off all night shooting only 40% from the field.
Kansas State was so atrocious, we’ll have to come back to them for a review perhaps on a better evening. You can’t get a top 10 ranking, then just stink up the joint this badly while getting a fair assessment so, we’ll just throw it out the window and trickle back if we can. Everybody has an off night from time to time so we’ll just chalk it up as that and see how they are in a couple weeks. Their next test will be against the Baylor Bears on February 16.
