From hope to mope.
Kansas State, after a ragged start Saturday allowed Texas A&M to build a 14-7 lead at the midpoint of the first half, gathered itself to get within one at halftime and to lead with less than two minutes to play. But the Wildcats (5-13, 1-7 Big 12) melted against increased defensive pressure late and fell to the Aggies (8-7, 2-6 SEC) by a 68-61 final count.
Two K-State headlines from this game: First, point guard Nijel Pack almost single-handedly kept K-State in the game and gave them a chance to win.
