The Kansas State Wildcats continue to play their best basketball of the season in the past three weeks, defending home court in an 81-73 win over the Jayhawks in the Sunflower Showdown.

 

It was a very efficient shooting performance for KSU, converting on 50% of their field goals, and knocking down 11 3-pointers compared to just six made threes for the Jayhawks. KSU also had 23 team assists, only committing 10 turnovers on the afternoon.

 

David N'Guessan led the team with 20 points, while Coleman Hawkins displayed elite interior defense with five blocks. Hunter Dickinson had 21 points to lead the Jayhawks.

 

The Wildcats are 12-11 on the season and back to .500 at 6-6 in conference play. They return to Manhattan tomorrow night for a tough matchup with the No. 20 ranked Arizona Wildcats.
