The Wildcats shot just 37.7% from the field and 9.5% from 3-point range.

Takeaways

Iowa State: The Cyclones remembered the first meeting between the two teams, when they jumped out to an early lead only to see the Wildcats take an 80-61 win, snapping the Cyclones’ 29-game home winning streak. The Cyclones led by 11 early in the first half and never allowed the Wildcats back in the game.

Kansas State: The Wildcats need to find consistency to even have a chance at postseason play.

Key moment

Kansas State closed the first half on an 8-0 run to trim the halftime deficit to 34-26. But the Wildcats couldn’t carry the momentum into the second half. After K-State got within 6 points, the Cyclones went on an 11-0 run to grab their largest lead to that point in the game.

Key stat

The Cyclones took advantage of their opponent’s mistakes, earning a 22-6 advantage in points off turnovers.

Up next

Both teams will appear in the Big 12 Tournament, with the pairings announced later Saturday.
