MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Clent Stewart scored a career-high 15 points and Kansas State used stifling defense for a 76-42 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Monday.
Stewart was 5-for-5 on 3-pointers, including back-to-back 3s with 7:31 to go in the first half to give Kansas State a 22-6 lead.
The Wildcats (4-0) held Pine Bluff to just 15 percent shooting in the first half to lead 32-10 at halftime. The Golden Lions had scoreless droughts of 4:22 and 5:41 before going the final 6:19 without a basket.
The 10 first-half points set a Bramlage Coliseum record for fewest in a half, breaking the previous record of 13 by Texas A&M in 2002.
Kansas State built its lead up to 70-31 before coach Jim Wooldridge emptied his bench with 3:14 to go.
Marques Hayden had 11 points and 10 rebounds, and Jeremiah Massey added 11 points for the Wildcats.
Tamarius Brown scored 13 points to lead Pine Bluff (0-3), which has lost 18 in a row dating to last season.
