KU Escapes With Tough Win in Manhattan
This team is bad for my blood pressure.
Kansas looked bad out of the gate in Manhattan against a weirdly hot Kansas State team. Some of that was on Kansas, like turning it over eight times in the first 18 minutes, while only forcing two. Some was just a hot start at home for the Wildcats, who made 14 of their first 18 shots. Kansas, for most of the game, didn't seem to handle the pressure that comes from an early road deficit very well. The trash seemed shellshocked at times as an offensively-challenged K-State squad just destroyed KU on that end through the first half.
