Gipson grabbed a career high 13 rebounds and added 17 points. This is the third consecutive game Gipson has the Wildcats in scoring.

    Senior Jamar Samuels also contributed a double-double on the night with 10 points and 10 rebounds. It was his sixth career double-double. K-State is now 6-0 when Samuels pounds the glass and pulls down one.

    Clinging to a three-point halftime lead, K-State used a 17-3 run capped by a Will Spradling three-pointer, giving the Wildcats a 54-38 lead. Spradling scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half.

    K-State took advantage of 17 offensive rebounds and outscored the Colonials 25-8 in second chance points throughout the contest.
