If you were wondering what happens when two of the nation’s top defenses meet with one average and one awful offense, the answer was even uglier that we could have imagined.
Kansas State needed 14 shots and more than 10 minutes to make its first field goal but still somehow found itself with a real chance at Texas Tech. Sadly, although the rally got a lot closer this time, the Cats fell 63-57 after they couldn’t dig themselves out of a huge early hole in Lubbock for the second straight year.
The defense was absolutely terrific and might have even been good enough if not for a career-high 19 points from Davide Moretti, who entered the game averaging less than 9 points per game.
