K-State takeaways: Kamau Stokes shines, Wildcats dominate inside in exhibition win

The Kansas State Wildcats defeated the Pittsburg State Gorillas 79-39 in an exhibition basketball game on Friday at Bramlage Coliseum.

Here are some thoughts on K-State’s final tuneup before the regular season begins next week against Kennesaw State.

Kamau Stokes is back

K-State’s starting point guard was never the same after he broke his left foot against Texas Tech last season, but he looked stronger than ever in this game.

Stokes took it to Pittsburg State from the get-go, hitting his first three shots to propel the Wildcats to a 19-5 lead. He found the bottom of the net from all over, making shots from the outside and crossing over his defender on his way to the rim.
