The Kansas State Wildcats started slowly, yielding a 7-0 lead to the University of Nevada-Las Vegas Runnin’ Rebels to start the game, and found themselves fighting from behind all night. Though they would tie the score three times and repeatedly close gaps in the second half, the Wildcats never managed to take a lead and fell in the end, 68-58.
UNLV made 12 of 27 attempts from beyond the arc, while K-State hit only 7 of 24. While it could be tempting to claim the Cats were victimized by the Rebels’ hot outside shooting, don’t be fooled. Three-point shooting is what they do.
