The Kansas State Wildcats moved on from their loss to Iowa State rather quickly, as they convincingly beat the Florida Gators at Bramlage Coliseum.

 

The Wildcats improve to 18-3 with the win, and will most likely keep their status as a top-10 ranked team. It is also the first win for Kansas State in the Big 12/SEC challenge series since 2018 against Georgia.

 

The Kansas State defense was sensational all evening, limiting the Gators to just 31% shooting, and allowing a dominant first half with a 21 point halftime lead. The Wildcats were also able to win the physical battle inside, outrebounding a strong Florida interior 49-36.

 

Markquis Nowell continued his stellar play, posting 13 points with nine rebounds and eight assists. Keyontae Johnson also had a successful game against his former school, posting a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.

 

Moving foward, Kansas State will look to sweep the season series with in-state rival Kansas on Tuesday night. Coverage will start at 6 p.m. CT on the Mighty 690, KGGF.
