Panthers take 4th at Valley Center December Pools

Kansas State dumped offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham and tights ends coach Jason Ray on Friday.

Wildcats coach Chris Klieman said the two assistant coaches, whose contracts were due to expire in February, would not be retained for the bowl season. Kansas State finished 7-5 and should learn its bowl destination on Sunday.

Former Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein, who had been working with Kansas State quarterbacks, will serve as the interim offensive coordinator for the bowl game. It’s unclear whether he will be considered for the full-time job.

“These were very difficult decisions to make as both are great coaches and friends — Jason since our time at North Dakota State, and Courtney, who I have known since we were young,” Klieman said in a statement. “However, I feel like this is in the best interest of our program moving forward.”

The Wildcats started 3-0 and briefly reached the Top 25 before an injury to quarterback Skylar Thompson began a four-game skid. But fueled by a defense that emerged as one of the best in the Big 12, the Wildcats proceeded to rip off four more wins to qualify for a bowl game, only for their offense to go haywire in two more losses.

The offense has been a problem point for Kansas State since Klieman arrived from North Dakota State two years ago. He brought along Messingham, who was his offensive coordinator there and had once been the coordinator at Iowa State, but his run-heavy scheme that dominated the lower-level Missouri Valley Conference didn’t translate well to the Big 12.

The Wildcats also have struggled to develop players on the offensive side of the ball. Thompson will be lost to graduation after playing his sixth season, and understudies Will Howard and Jaren Lewis have been underwhelming.

“We appreciate the efforts of Courtney and Jason during their time in Manhattan and wish them well,” Klieman said.

2021 Hays City Shootout Scores and Schedule

NEW YORK (AP) — New building or old, Kansas looked right at home in the Big Apple again.

Christian Braun had a career-high 31 points, Ochai Agbaji scored 23 and the No. 8 Jayhawks emphatically turned back a second-half charge to beat St. John’s 95-75 on Friday night in the first basketball game at UBS Arena.

Senior forward David McCormack, off to a slow start this season, was a force inside with 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Jayhawks (6-1), who have bounced back from a one-point loss to Dayton last week with consecutive double-digit wins.

“It’s really important,” Agbaji said. “These preseason games mean a lot. Kind of practicing for conference road games, and when we have rough stretches like that. You know, winning on the road and responding to big crowds like this.”

It was Kansas’ second victory in New York this season after opening with an 87-74 win over Michigan State on Nov. 9 in the Champions Classic at venerable Madison Square Garden.

Remy Martin added 12 points and five assists, and the Jayhawks clamped down on defense in the final 10 minutes of a game that was part of the annual Big East-Big 12 Battle.

Julian Champagnie scored all but four of his 24 points after halftime for the Red Storm (5-2), who were facing their first ranked opponent this season in a matchup of programs rich in history that met for the 1952 NCAA title.

“We just know we’re not there yet,” coach Mike Anderson said.

Posh Alexander and Dylan Addae-Wusu each scored 16 for St. John’s, which was playing less than 8 miles from campus before a crowd of 9,769.

Kansas traveled about 1,270 miles — and has more wins in the glimmering new arena than the NHL team it houses.

Depleted by COVID-19 absences, the New York Islanders are 0-4-1 in their $1.1 billion home that opened two weeks ago at Belmont Park.

“It’s a great venue,” Jayhawks coach Bill Self said, smiling. “And one thing I do like, you know, we’re from the Midwest, we think our fans can get rowdy. But fans up here can probably be a little more pointed with some personal comments. So I thought that was actually fun to be around that, too.”

Self and players on both teams mentioned how slick the floor was, though, with the hardwood sitting above the ice.

“I’m sure that’ll be corrected,” Self said.

Champagnie said it was the reason he changed sneakers.

“The building was cool. It reminded me a lot of The Garden, just without the same history,” he said.

Champagnie drained his first five 3-point attempts in the second half as St. John’s whittled a 13-point halftime deficit to three on two occasions.

But then Agbaji responded with a 3 and a putback, and Kansas used an 11-0 spurt to take command for good.

“We did much better when they cut it to three, because we didn’t guard anybody until they cut it to three,” Self said. “I thought we did some good things. But it was a good way to close the game.”

St. John’s went almost five minutes without a point and nearly eight minutes without a basket as the Jayhawks pulled away.

“We went through one of those moments that we talk about that we can’t have,” Champagnie said. “One of those dull moments.”

Kansas: The loss to Dayton on a buzzer-beater in Florida last week dropped the Jayhawks four spots in the AP poll, but they rebounded with a 96-83 win over Iona on Sunday in Orlando. Self is still toying with a deep rotation and demanding better defense. Kansas has used at least 11 players in all seven games.

St. John’s: With a deep roster featuring two stars back from last season’s surprising 16-11 squad in Champagnie and Alexander, the Red Storm have legitimate NCAA Tournament aspirations after getting picked fourth in the Big East coaches’ poll. But they’re still melding five accomplished Division I transfers with three returnees, and have barely squeezed by at home lately against some of the weak competition that makes up a soft nonconference schedule. St. John’s lost by two at Indiana last month and this was probably its only other opportunity for a significant resume boost outside the Big East.

Alexander appeared to be hobbled at times by the lower right leg injury that caused him to miss a game on Nov. 23.

“He said it was cramps,” Anderson said. “We’ll monitor that.”

Braun shot 10 of 16 from the field and 9 for 10 from the free throw line. He had eight rebounds, four assists and three steals. “He’s climbing up some draft boards,” Self said. ... Kansas led for 38:40 and dominated down low. The Jayhawks outrebounded the Red Storm 47-29, outscored them 48-24 in the paint and compiled a 24-6 advantage in second-chance points. ... Agbaji went 5 for 9 from 3-point range and grabbed seven boards. ... Anderson and Alexander, who bumped into an official, were whistled for successive technical fouls on one sequence late in the game. Braun made all four free throws.

Kansas assistant Norm Roberts was the head coach at St. John’s from 2004-10, going 81-101 in six seasons without an NCAA Tournament berth. ... The only appearance for St. John’s in the national championship game was an 80-63 loss to Clyde Lovellette and Kansas in 1952 as Phog Allen coached the Jayhawks to their first of three NCAA titles. ... Kansas redshirt Kyle Cuffe Jr., a freshman guard from Harlem in New York City, is the son of the former St. John’s power forward. Kyle Cuffe Sr. played for the Johnnies from 2000-04 and averaged 11.2 points and 7.2 rebounds as a senior. “Definitely supporting my son and Kansas but I bleed red storm,” he posted Thursday on Twitter. ... St. John’s freshman O’Mar Stanley is from Overland Park, Kansas. ... Kansas leads the all-time series 9-5. It was the first meeting between the schools since November 2000 at Madison Square Garden. Kansas has the second-most wins among major college basketball programs, while St. John’s ranks ninth.

Kansas: Will host UTEP on Tuesday night in Kansas City, Missouri, before renewing an old border rivalry with Missouri on Dec. 11 at Allen Fieldhouse.

St. John’s: Back on campus Sunday night to face New York City foe Fordham in the 89th meeting of a series that dates to 1909. St. John’s is 18-0 against the Rams at Carnesecca Arena/Alumni Hall.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos have lost 11 consecutive games to the Kansas City Chiefs since scoring two touchdowns in the final 36 seconds for a stunning 31-24 win at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 27, 2015.

That comeback propelled the Broncos on their Super Bowl 50-winning season, but the only remaining member of that team is kicker Brandon McManus, who has fallen to 2-11 against the Chiefs in his career.

McManus and the Broncos (6-5) get another shot at the Chiefs (7-4) Sunday night and an upset would propel Denver to the top of the AFC West.

They’ll have to overcome a lot to get there: the crowd, the talent-laden Chiefs who have been kings of the AFC for three years and are rolling again, Patrick Mahomes, who’s 7-0 against them, and even history: they’re just 3-19 at Kansas City in December.

McManus actually isn’t the only man on this Denver roster who’s tasted success against the Chiefs. Six of his teammates have beaten Kansas City with other teams — although, none of those wins has come after 2015.

Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater beat K.C. 16-10 while with the Vikings in 2015 and he almost led the Panthers past the Chiefs last year before Kansas City pulled out a 33-31 win.

Broncos defensive lineman Shamar Stephen was on Bridgewater’s team in Minnesota when they beat K.C. in 2015.

Cornerback Kyle Fuller beat the Chiefs in 2015 while with the Bears. tackle Bobbie Massie was with the Cardinals when they beat Kansas City in 2014. Tackle Cam Fleming was with the Patriots when they beat K.C. in the playoffs after the 2014 season.

Safety Kareem Jackson went 1-4 against Kansas City before his arrival in Denver in 2019. It was a 35-31 win by Houston way back in 2010. Unlike Bridgewater, Stephen and Fuller, Jackson lost twice to the Patriots in 2015, once in the regular season and once in the playoffs.

And running back Melvin Gordon lost all 10 of his games against Kansas City while he was with the Chargers, so he’s now 0-12 against the Chiefs in his career.

The players on the Broncos’ roster who have beaten the Chiefs as members of another team are a combined 6-31 against K.C.

Throw in McManus’ 2-11 mark and players on this roster who have beaten Kansas City are a combined 8-42.

The Broncos insist they’re not even talking about their 11-game losing streak to the Chiefs this week, however.

“No,” coach Vic Fangio said dismissively when asked if it’s a point of conversation or even motivation this week.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid feigned ignorance of the streak when asked about it on a conference call with Denver reporters.

Bridgewater said players aren’t even talking about the streak amongst themselves.

“Naw. Some things you just don’t talk about,” Bridgewater said. “We look for what’s ahead of us. We can’t dwell on the past. It’s another opportunity. I’m sure they’re not sitting there saying, ‘We’re 11-0 or 10-0 against Justin Simmons or 6-0 against Bradley Chubb.’

“They see it as another divisional game, and we see it the same way.”

The Broncos fanbase and Denver reporters certainly do not. This game is being hyped as Denver’s biggest since its Super Bowl win over Carolina that capped Peyton Manning’s career.

Manning is already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame after the requisite five-year minimum wait and the Broncos still haven’t gotten back to the playoffs.

Despite a rash of injuries and the trade of Von Miller last month, the Broncos feel as if they finally have some dynamic playmakers that can counter the likes of Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, however.

Their terrific draft class features first-round cornerback Pat Surtain II, whose uncommon mix of size and speed was more appealing to new general manager George Paton than any of the quarterbacks that were available in the draft.

“The more quality guys you have,” said Denver defensive coordinator Ed Donatell, “the better chance you have against these guys.”

NOTES: The Broncos activated LT Garett Bolles from the reserve/COVID-19 list and placed T Calvin Anderson (knee) on injured reserve Thursday. Bolles hasn’t played in a month. He missed two games before the bye with a sprained ankle and was sidelined last week after going on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Nov. 22. ... Anderson got hurt last weekend in Denver’s win over the Chargers. ... Gordon (hip/shoulder) missed his second straight practice and the Broncos are preparing to give his carries to Mike Boone against the Chiefs.

Shh! Denver Broncos mum on 11-game losing streak to Chiefs

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Pat McKenzie, a three-year letterman for Kansas State (1959-62) and a starter on the 1961 Big Eight Championship team, recently passed away (November 18) at the age of 81 in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

Born on March 3, 1940, in South Bend, Indiana, McKenzie played three seasons (1959-62) for Hall of Fame head coach Tex Winter, leading the Wildcats during a period of great success that included consecutive 22-win seasons in 1960-61 and 1961-62 and a pair of Big Eight Conference regular-season titles (1959-60, 1960-61). He was part of teams that finished among the top-10 in both 1960-61 (No. 4 AP and UPI) and 1961-62 (No. 5 UPI and No. 6 AP).

McKenzie was a regular starter for K-State in 1960-61 and 1961-62, helping the Wildcats to a 44-8 overall record, including a 25-3 mark in Big Eight, and a trip to the 1961 NCAA Midwest Regional Final, where they lost 69-64 to eventual national champion Cincinnati in a top-4 matchup. As a senior in 1961-62, he started all 25 games for a squad that might be one of the best Wildcat teams to not make the NCAA Tournament, as they finished as the Big Eight runner-up with a 12-2 record and a 22-3 overall record. McKenzie nearly averaged a double-double, averaging 11 points and a team-best 9.4 rebounds per game in 1961-62.

For his playing career, McKenzie averaged 6.9 points on nearly 40 percent shooting and 64.6 percent shooting from the free throw line with 6.7 rebounds in 74 games played, including 50 starts.

McKenzie was a teammate of Mike Wroblewski, who was recently inducted into the K-State Athletics Hall of Fame, in both high school and college. Both attended St. Joseph's High School in South Bend, Indiana.

Upon graduating, McKenzie was drafted by the Chicago Packers in the 15th round of the 1962 NBA Draft. He opted for more education, earning both a master's and Ph.D. in accounting, before accepting a professorship at Arizona State University, where he taught for 27 years before retiring in 1997. He also taught at Fort Lewis and did a visiting professorship at UNLV and taught at universities in Finland and Macedonia.

McKenzie is survived by his wife of 58 years, Sheila, with whom he met at K-State, as well as four children (Erin, Michael, Tina and Theresa), nine grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother, Mike, and sister, Vicki.

A memorial service will be held at 9:30 a.m., CT on Saturday, December 11 at Pope John Paul II Catholic Church in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Seeds of Learning in Pagosa Springs, Colorado or the Pagosa Springs Humane Society.

K-State Mourns the Passing of Pat McKenzie

No. 5 Oklahoma State (11-1, 8-1 Big 12, No. 5 CFP) vs. No. 9 Baylor (10-2, 7-2, No. 9), Saturday at noon EST (ABC) in Arlington, Texas.

Line: Oklahoma State by 5 1/2, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Series record: Oklahoma State leads 22-18.

Oklahoma State is playing in its first Big 12 title game. A win would keep the Cowboys in contention for a possible spot in the College Football Playoff, depending on what the teams ahead of them in the CFP rankings — Georgia, Michigan, Alabama and Cincinnati — do in their conference title games. Baylor, which lost to Oklahoma State 24-14 on Oct. 2, is playing in its second Big 12 title game in three years. The Bears could go to the Sugar Bowl with a win, or even with a loss like two years ago after they lost in the league title game to an Oklahoma squad that reached the playoff.

Baylor running back Abram Smith, the Big 12′s second-leading rusher, against the nation’s sixth-best rushing defense. Smith had 97 yards rushing on 10 carries, including one for 55 yards, in the first meeting with Oklahoma State. He averages 113.8 yards rushing per game with 12 TDs. Oklahoma State has allowed only 93.6 yards rushing per game, but gave up a season-high 189 against Oklahoma last Saturday. The Cowboys have allowed just nine rushing touchdowns this season.

Baylor: Senior linebacker Terrel Bernard missed the first game against the Cowboys with a knee injury, but he’s ready for this one. He’s second on the team with 62 tackles and has a team-high five sacks.

Oklahoma State: Running back Jaylen Warren, the redshirt senior transfer from Utah State, has averaged 108.8 yards rushing while starting the last 10 games.

Oklahoma State won its only other Big 12 title in 2011, the first of six seasons in a row when there wasn’t a title game. ... Baylor is one of five FBS teams that hasn’t allowed more than 30 points in a game this year. ... This is the first time the Cowboys will play the same team twice in a season since 1908. ... Oklahoma State has a chance to beat top-10 teams in back-to-back games for the second time in school history. The previous time was in October 1976. The Sooners were No. 10 last week when they lost 37-33 in Bedlam. ... Baylor’s defense has forced a turnover in 20 consecutive games.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Oklahoma State faces Baylor in the Big 12 championship game this weekend at the home of the Dallas Cowboys in suburban Dallas. The fifth-ranked Cowboys need a win to keep their hopes alive for a College Football Playoff berth. Oklahoma State beat the ninth-ranked Bears 24-14 when they played two months ago. Both teams have strong running games and powerful defenses. There wasn't a Big 12 title game when Oklahoma State won its only league title in 2011. Baylor is back in the title game for the second time in three seasons.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Big 12 coaches have picked rusher leader Breece Hall from Iowa State as the league's top offensive player of the year for the second year in a row. Hall has rushed for 1,472 yards and 20 TDs. The junior has run for a touchdown in his last 24 games. That is an FBS-record streak. Baylor senior Jalen Pitre was named the top defender, and Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy was chosen by his peers as coach of the year. 

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — CeeDee Lamb had 122 yards from scrimmage and Tony Pollard provided a 58-yard touchdown run as the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Saints, 27-17 in New Orleans. Dak Prescott passed for 238 yards and a score as the 8-4 Cowboys won without coach Mike McCarthy and five assistants because of positive COVID-19 tests. Dallas intercepted Saints quarterback Taysom Hill three times in the final 6:32 of the game, including defensive tackle Carlos Watkins’ pick-6 on a screen pass that made it 27-10 with 2:52 left.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez has announced he is putting his name into the transfer portal. The three-time captain started 38 games over the past four seasons with the Cornhuskers and was the first major addition to the program following coach Scott Frost's hiring. Martinez had his best season in 2021, completing 61.8 percent of his throws for 2,863 yards, with 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Damion Baugh and Mike Miles scored 13 points apiece and TCU fought off Oral Roberts for a 71-63 win. The Horned Frogs led 39-29 at halftime before Max Abmas, Kareem Thompson and DeShang Weaver buried 3-pointers — Abmas made 3 — and the Golden Eagles closed within 51-50 with 11:34 remaining. Thompson followed an Abmas 3 with a layup and Oral Roberts took its first and only lead at 52-51 with 10:43 left. ORU’s lead lasted 16 seconds as Emanuel Miller followed with a jumper for the Horned Frogs. Abmas scored 20 for the Golden Eagles.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Alexis Morris scored a career-high 25 points with five 3-pointers and LSU defeated No. 14 Iowa State 69-60 in the SEC/Big 12 Showdown. It was LSU’s first win over a ranked team in the Kim Mulkey era. Morris’ five 3s also were a career high and Khayla Pointer scored 20 for LSU, which won its fifth straight game under the former Baylor coach. Ashley Joens scored 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including four 3-pointers, for the Cyclones, who were off to their best start since winning 14-straight to open the 2013-14 season. Emily Ryan scored 13 points and Lexi Donarski 10.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — New graduation numbers continue to show college athletes are graduating at higher rates than overall students. The NCAA's annual Graduation Success Rate shows 89% of athletes who enrolled between 2011-12 and 2014-15 earned diplomas compared with 68% in the federal rate of all students. The single-year calculation of 90% matched last year's record high. The federal numbers do not include students who earn diplomas at a different school than the one where they first enrolled.

Friday Sports Headlines and Scores presented by Barton Community College

A recent study by the Aspen Institute confirmed previous surveys in the NFHS Case for High School Activities that the No. 1 reason students compete in sports in high school is to have fun, engage in exercise and spend meaningful time with their friends.

Interestingly, a survey 30 years ago by the American Footwear Association revealed the same findings, and that study showed lack of fun was the leading reason for dropping out of sports.

While some of the eight million participants in high school sports are competing in state championships this fall, and a smaller number are looking at potential college scholarships, the vast majority – more than anything else – want to compete on teams with their friends.

The Aspen Institute’s recent survey also revealed an interest on the part of high school students to participate in a wide variety of sports. In addition to sports like football, basketball, track and field, volleyball, soccer and others, respondents indicated a desire to have even more sports offered at school. And, the most recent NFHS participation survey indicates that schools and state associations are providing opportunities for involvement in sports from archery to fencing to rugby and many more.

NFHS participation data indicates that the 19,700 high schools that are associated with the 51 NFHS member associations offered a total of 61 different sports, as well as 17 additional adapted and Unified sports opportunities. State associations currently are conducting state championships in 37 different sports.

And perhaps even more importantly, through participation in those sports and performing arts, student-athletes experience opportunities that cannot be measured through surveys.

In addition to the chance to compete on the court or field – or on the stage or at the podium in performing arts – are the opportunities that high school activity programs provide for teachable moments, life-changing decisions and making a positive impact in communities across the country.

One such community this year was the small town of Fertile, Minnesota, located about 270 miles northwest of Minneapolis. Last year, Jude Olson, a junior on the Fertile-Beltrami High School 9-player football team, was killed in an accident, which shook the approximately 1,000 residents of Fertile.

This year, however, the Fertile-Beltrami football team provided a positive boost to the town with an undefeated regular season and a first-ever trip to the Minnesota State High School League 9-player State Football Championship last weekend at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

According to an article in the&nbsp;Grand Forks (North Dakota) Herald, many of the town’s residents did not have the means to make the five-hour trek to the game. As a result, local businesses and farmers donated $25,000 for five charter buses to make sure every fan who wanted to make the trip had a free ride to the game.

“It means a lot to the whole town,” said Jodie Strem, the co-owner of Fertile Oil Company. “We want them to look in the stands and see us and know we are there for them. We are coming down full force.”

While the Fertile-Beltrami Falcons lost to LeRoy-Ostrander in the MSHSL 9-player championship, the players and the 274 fans who made the journey will remember much more than the outcome of the game.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

High school sports and performing arts also provide opportunities for teachable moments. In Huntingtown, Maryland, golf coach John McGuffin recently demonstrated to his team at Huntingtown High School that, in addition to the actual competition, high school sports are about making a difference in people’s lives.

According to an article in&nbsp;TheBayNet.com, McGuffin provided an opportunity for Garrett Krohnert to join the golf team. Four years ago, Krohnert suffered a major brain injury from a traumatic car accident, which robbed him of most of his motor skills.

As time went on, however, Krohnert began to regain some of those skills and began swinging a golf club. His teammates began pushing for Krohnert to join the lineup and actually play in a match.

“Some would say he is not qualified to play in a match,” McGuffin said, “but we don’t look at it that way. We looked at it as this was an opportunity to do something special for Garrett, which is special for all of us that were witness to it.”

When his opportunity came, Krohnert amazed everyone by playing all nine holes of the match. The team was honored and received recognition, but everyone on the team said this was all about Garrett. “He turned his once dreams into reality, which goes beyond any win or loss.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

These two recent events say all that needs to be said about the value of high school sports and performing arts in our nation’s schools. We thank the coaches, administrators and officials who make these programs available each and every day.

More Than Anything Else, Students Play Sports to Have Fun with Friends

Mylena Testoni of the Barton Community College volleyball team has been announced as a first team selection of the 2021 NJCAA Division I Volleyball All-America honors.

Named NJCAA first team last season as well, Testoni becomes the first Cougar since 2001 in earning consecutive national honors and is the third straight year under Head Coach Alan Segal the Cougars earned the post-season distinction as Karina de Oliveira was named honorable mention following the 2019 season.

Testoni is also the program's 23rd first team selection and the 29th overall in forty-two years of volleyball competition.

Also repeating as the KJCCC and Region VI Most Valuable Player, Testoni won conference player of the week award four times this season, two on the offensive side and two from her defensive performances. Having won the award six times her initial season on the way to becoming a 1st Team NJCAA All-America selection, Testoni never won the national weekly award until this season in being named the week nine NJCAA Defensive Player of the Week.

The all-around play from Testoni was not only evident in the weekly awards, but within the 17 double-double performances in 35 matches played. On the offensive side Testoni ranked among the West leaders' top three of the major categories: second in kills (347) and third in kills per set (3.04) and hitting percentage (.318). Defensively, the native of Barra Velha, Brazil, was equally tough in finishing with the 8th best single season dig total of 540 in wrapping up her Barton career fourth on the all-time list accumulating 1014 digs.

Testoni and the Cougars finished 13-3 in conference for the program's third straight runner-up finish, concluding the season 24-11 after coming up short in five sets of the region semifinals.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Ricky Council IV scored 17 points, Morris Udeze added 13 points and Wichita State beat Oklahoma State 60-51 on Wednesday night for the Shockers third straight win at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Wichita State also defeated OSU on its home floor in December of 2017 and 2019. Prior to that, the Shockers were a combined 2-17 in Stillwater. The Shockers are the third nonconference team to win three straight at GIA, joining Tulsa (1979, 81, 83, 85) and DePaul (1945, 49, 50).

Oklahoma State had a 48-45 lead after a 3-pointer from Avery Anderson III with 6:15 left. But that was the last made field goal for the Cowboys. Council scored four straight points to start Wichita State’s 8-0 game-closing run as OSU missed its final nine shots.

Clarence Jackson chipped in with 10 points for Wichita State (6-1), which travels to Kansas State on Sunday. Council also had seven rebounds and four assists.

The Shockers missed their first six shots and turned the ball over four times in the opening four minutes as Oklahoma State built an early 10-0 lead starting with an Anderson 3.

Anderson led Oklahoma State (6-2) with 17 points and Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe grabbed 10 rebounds. Next up for the Cowboys is Sunday when Xavier comes for a visit.
