TEXAS Mason: 1 | Alec: 1 | Gabe: 1 Gabe: First place in the league standings belongs to the Texas Longhorns and first place in the advanced analytics does, too. I still would bet on multiple teams sharing the league title, but Texas has multiple guys on any given night that can deliver a huge performance.

Kansas State took an 8-7 lead with 15:34 left in the first half when guard Cam Carter made a layup in transition, which was helped by backup point guard Desi Sills poking the ball out of the grasp of Texas’ Timmy Allen. Star Kansas State wing Keyontae Johnson was tagged with two personal fouls just a couple of minutes into the game. But Kansas State…

He didn’t need to have a mastery of football intelligence to be the most impactful player because he was that much better than everybody else on the field most Friday nights. Fair enrolled early at K-State in January as a member of the Wildcats’ top-40 nationally ranked 2023 recruiting class as a three-star safety. But since joining the Kansas State football roster a couple…

by Gabe Swartz • EMAWOnline – Staff Writer LAWRENCE, Kan. — The halfway point of Big 12 play arrived Tuesday night for the Kansas State Wildcats as the clock expired at Allen Fieldhouse. Through nine games in America’s best conference, first-year head coach Jerome Tang’s group has played five road games and followed a familiar game script in each of them. In a rematch with its in-state rival, Kansas State allowed Kansas to score 90 points in regulation, continuing a trend of high-scoring contests in road games during Big 12 play. Against Iowa State a week prior in Ames, the Wildcats were brutalized on the interior and…
