The victory continued K-State's hot streak as they have now won six of their past seven games to move to within a game of .500. A win tonight on the road against Wichita State in their final non-conference game would even their record at 23-23 as they enter the stretch run in conference play. (Kellis Robinett, Wichita Eagle)
