MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) There was a possibility of Kansas State overlooking Oklahoma State on Saturday with a huge matchup with Kansas looming Monday night.

The Wildcats were ready to play overmatching the Cowboys from the opening tip in an 85-46 victory.

"I got on our guys this morning because our shoot around didn't have great emotion," coach Bruce Weber said. "We did some good things and got some layups early and moved the basketball. It all goes back to defense and defense gives you a chance and defense wins championships."
