Box Score

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) -- Jeremiah Massey scored 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as Kansas State rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit to beat Wichita State 54-50 Wednesday night.

 

The Wildcats (5-1) overcame poor shooting in the first half and held on in the final minute to win their second straight over the in-state rival Shockers.

 

Down 53-50 in the final minute, the Shockers missed four potentially game-tying 3-pointers before Tim Ellis' free throw with 2.8 seconds left sealed the win for the Wildcats.

 

Less than two minutes into the second half, Wichita State (5-2) led 31-21. But Massey, who was 8-of-12 from the field, scored seven points during a 12-2 run that gave the Wildcats their first lead of the game at 35-34 with 12:06 remaining.

 

The game stayed close until the end, as Marques Hayden's layup with 48.7 seconds left pushed Kansas State ahead 53-50. But he would go on to miss three free throws, giving the Shockers the chance to tie with a 3-pointer.

 

Jarrett Hart and Ellis each scored eight points for Kansas State. Randy Burns led the Shockers with 12.

 

Wichita State's zone defense had the Wildcats befuddled in the first half. They shot just 26.7 percent and trailed 24-19 at halftime. Kansas State leads the series 20-11.
