Kansas State’s first game trying to score against a quality team with Power 5 athletes did not go well.
No. 13 Arkansas looked like the better team from the jump in a 72-64 loss for the Wildcats, their first of the season. The second will be coming tomorrow against No. 10 Illinois unless this team can figure a lot of things out very quickly.
Selton Miguel’s 14 points and 8 from Mike McGuirl kept K-State within shouting distance, but hardly ever within striking distance. Some combination of improved defense after halftime and questionable-at-best shot selection from the Razorbacks also helped, as they shot just 3-22 from 3.
