The Wildcats start the Big 12 season with a crucial road test.
The Game
The Kansas State Wildcats (3-0, 0-0 Big 12, No. 22/24 Coaches/AP) hit the road to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys (3-1, 0-1 Big 12, RV/RV) in a clash of styles. Despite new leadership, K-State retains a deliberate pace with an eye toward ball control, while Oklahoma State retains an offense based around a frantic pace. Despite being early in the conference portion of the season, this game potentially has big ramifications for determining who goes to the Big 12 Championship Game.
