by Mason Voth • EMAWOnline – Managing Editor – @TheRealMasonV Get the thoughts from EMAW Online’s Mason Voth from K-State’s 73-68 road win over Oklahoma State on Saturday. PLAYING SMART The Wildcats struggled at early points in the game and into the second half with playing smart. Markquis Nowell was turnover heavy again, giving the ball away six times by the 11:50 mark in the second half. Other errors were made by the Wildcats with giveaways. But K-State flipped the script and Nowell only had one more turnover in the game, an inconsequential one with 12 seconds remaining in the game.…

by Gabe Swartz • EMAWOnline – Staff Writer MANHATTAN — In a recent staff meeting, Kansas State’s Director of Video Operations Anthony Winchester made a keen observation about head coach Jerome Tang’s mannerisms during games. Winchester pointed out that the head coach of the No. 14 Kansas State Wildcats was imploring his team to slow down after securing a rebound on the defensive end, often slowing or completely eliminating transition opportunities for the Wildcats. Early in the season, Tang was more often seen looking like a third-base coach waving a runner home with how often rebounds were leading to a push in tempo and some early…

NACOGDOCHES, Texas (Kansas State Athletics) – K-State baseball continued its best start in 12 years when the Wildcats (3-0) defeated the Lumberjacks of Stephen F. Austin (0-3), 14-8, on Sunday afternoon to clinch the opening weekend series. “It was a good battle,” said fifth-year head coach Pete Hughes.” I thought we handled adversity pretty well today. It was unfortunate that we didn’t play better defense for Jackson Wentworth, but our bullpen came through with three very good debut outings. Cater, Buss and Wisenbaker were the difference in the game. With the game tied, 8-8, in the seventh, sophomore Kaelen Culpepper launched his sixth collegiate…

by Mason Voth • EMAWOnline – Managing Editor – @TheRealMasonV No. 12 K-State dug themselves an early hole on Saturday against No. 19 Iowa State, but saw the return of an efficient and dynamic Markquis Nowell, as well as a suffocating defense to take down the Cyclones 61-55. Iowa State was without Caleb Grill for Saturday’s contest as the Maize native and 38% three-point shooter continues to deal with a lingering injury. K-State opened the game with a brand new starting five, going with three guards instead of two. Desi Sills joined Cam Carter and Markquis Nowell in the K-State backcourt,…

by Gabe Swartz • EMAWOnline – Staff Writer NORMAN — For a half of basketball, Kansas State looked like it had found some footing. Nearly 72 hours after turning the ball over a season high 23 times to a last place Texas Techsquad, the Wildcats were provided an opportunity to play the new basement dweller in the strongest conference in America. Senior guard Markquis Nowell, who had been plagued by turnover woes throughout Kansas State’s recent struggles, didn’t give Oklahoma any extra possessions via reckless offensive basketball. Couple Nowell’s careful offense with one of the best halves of basketball in recent weeks from junior forward Nae’Qwan Tomlin, and Kansas State…
