With preseason Big 12 Player of the Year Jacob Pullen in foul trouble early, the Kansas State bench stepped up in a big way and K-State used a dominating second half to push the No. 3 Wildcats to a 73-57 victory over No. 22 Virginia Tech on Tuesday afternoon at Bramlage Coliseum. K-State’s bench outscored its starting lineup 37-36 in the contest, while it outscored the Hokies’ bench by 27.
