The most surprising aspect of Kansas State’s hot start are the high scores.
K-State is averaging 84.6 points a year after averaging 63.
Those numbers seemed unthinkable before the season. Consider that the Wildcats lost their top three scorers in the offseason and now start a freshman at point guard. Yet, they are putting the ball through the hoop with impressive efficiency. They are running, they are passing and they are they are having fun doing both. It’s a reversal from last season, when they slowed the pace and tried to win with the lowest score possible.
