Box Score

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) -- Jeremiah Massey scored 24 points, and Kansas State beat Nebraska 78-61 Wednesday night to snap a three-game conference losing streak.

 

Kansas State (10-8, 2-5 Big 12) shot a season-high 63 percent from the floor and held the Huskers to 32 percent with a stingy zone defense. It was Kansas State's best shooting performance since shooting 61 percent against Texas-Pan American Feb. 12, 2002.

 

Nebraska (11-7, 1-6) lost its 13th straight conference road game, dating back to Feb. 20, 2002.

 

Jarrett Hart and Tim Ellis added 16 points each for Kansas State.

 

Marcus Neal led Nebraska with 15 points. Andrew Drevo had 13 points, and Nate Johnson had 12.

 

Nebraska trimmed an eight point Kansas State lead to three with 15:55 to go in the game.

 

Then the Huskers went cold. They didn't make another field goal for almost 11 minutes.

 

Massey scored 10 points during a 17-4 run that put the Wildcats up 61-44 with 6:36 remaining. Kansas State made eight straight buckets, but turnovers helped Nebraska trim the lead to nine with 3:38 to go.

 

Massey answered with two free throws, and the Huskers never got closer.

 

The Huskers were 15-of-18 from the free throw line, but 8-of-33 from 3-point range.
