Good non-conference victories for K-State's resume were posted by Alcorn State (only its second win of the season), Gonzaga (snapping a three-game losing streak), James Madison (on the road), Presbyterian (in overtime), Savannah State (its fourth win of the year) and Texas Southern (which still is below .500, despite a 7-1 conference record).
Losses were posted by woefully inconsistent Florida (the Gators are incapable of sealing a game from the free-throw line), Loyola (its seventh conference loss — that's not a very good team), North Florida (by 10 at home) and UMKC (a heartbreaking double-overtime loss that pretty much ended the Roos' conference-title hopes).
Duke, Emporia State, Virginia Tech and Washington State all play today. Big 12 outcomes will be discussed in tonight's BIG 12 OUTLOOK.
