After back-to-back losses in the Sunflower State, the Kansas State women traded the cold tundra of Manhattan for the warm deserts of Arizona, and it paid dividends.
Behind a stellar showing from behind the arc, the Wildcats (12-11, 5-5 Big 12) came away with a convincing 74-67 win over Arizona State (18-5, 5-5) on Sunday, the team’s first trip to Tempe since 1988.
The loss was the first at home for Arizona State this season.
K-State led by as much as 24 in the third quarter and held off a late push by the Sun Devils to buck their recent two-game skid.
“I thought we did a lot of good things all day long, and we’re not going to focus on the end,” head coach Jeff Mittie said. “We can fix those things. … I’m going to enjoy this one. I’m going to focus on how we got the 24-point lead, and we’ll try to fix whatever we can to do better tomorrow.”
