Kansas State’s 64-56 victory over Denver on Monday at Bramlage Coliseum came with a few warning signs that could lead to trouble for the Wildcats when they start playing stronger competition later this basketball season.
The biggest concern: outside shooting.
For the second straight game, K-State was far from impressive while trying to score from beyond the three-point line. The Wildcats made 6 of 27 shots from distance, which led to a poor shooting effort overall (23 of 60 overall) and a lackluster victory.
The visiting Pioneers led at various times throughout the game and went into halftime down just 31-28.
