Kansas State knocked off Omaha 79-64 in their final tune-up before the showdown with Arkansas in Kansas City next Monday (should be fun after a big Wildcat football win on Saturday). Despite the 15 point margin, the scoreboard is being kind to Omaha.
The Wildcats started the game with a 15-5 flourish, putting to rest any inclination the Mavericks may have had about a repeat of last season’s nail biter. More impressive for K-State is the way they scored 15 quick points. All 5 starters contributed, and Nijel and Selton took turns playing point guard and dishing out assists.
