The Kansas State Wildcats have a propensity for turning over the basketball. Against Texas Tech the Wildcats’ 23 giveaways led to 28 points off turnovers and 13 fastbreak points that K-State could not overcome in a 71-63 loss to Texas Tech in Lubbock.
The Wildcats (19-6, 7-5 Big 12) were fortunate to have any chance at all, yet with 3:12 to play and trailing only 60-59, they got the ball to Keyontae Johnson right under the hoop with a chance to take a lead. His shot was contested, however, and missed. It was emblematic of the game, one in which little things added up to a big loss.
