K-STATE MEETS 16/17 KANSAS IN SUNFLOWER SHOWDOWN SATURDAY
K-State (11-11, 5-6 Big 12), winners of 4 in a row for the first time since 2023, returns to Bramlage Coliseum on Saturday afternoon, as the Wildcats renew the Dillons Sunflower Showdown with a visit from No. 16/17 Kansas (16-6, 7-4 Big 12) at 1 p.m., CT on ESPN. It is the sixth-most played series (302) in Division I men's basketball history with the Jayhawks leading the series, 206-96. It is also the second-longest active rivalry, as the schools have met every year since 1907.

K-State has been equally as impressive on offense as on defense during its winning streak, as the Wildcats are averaging 77.3 points on 47.8 percent shooting, including 44.2 percent from 3-point range, and 74.6 percent from the free throw line while allowing 62 points on 37.8 percent shooting, including 31.6 percent from beyond the arc, and forcing an average of 14 turnovers per game.

The Wildcats will attempt to win 3 in a row at home against the Jayhawks for the first time since a 4-game winning streak in 1981-83, while head coach Jerome Tang will look to become the first Wildcat coach since Jack Gardner to win his first 3 home games in the series since 1947-49.

LAST TIME OUT
K-State ran its winning streak to a season-high 4 games by rallying from an improbable 16-point first-half deficit for a 71-70 win at Arizona State on Tuesday. It was the largest deficit overcome in a road conference game and the second largest behind a 17-point rally at Cal on Dec. 29, 1995.
Senior David N'Guessan paced four Wildcats in double figures with a season-high 22 points to go with team-tying 8 rebounds. He made the play of the night with K-State clinging to a 71-70 lead with 4.1 seconds as he fouled freshman Jayden Quaintance as he was attempting to dunk the game-winning basket, forcing him to hit 2 free throws to win the game. He missed on both attempts and junior Dug McDaniel corralled the rebound and threw it down court to run out the clock.

KEY STORYLINES

Newcomers have combined to score 1265 (78.3 percent) of the team's 1616 points, accounting for 60 of 79 double-digit scoring games. Senior returner David N'Guessan has scored in double figures in 19 games, but the next 6 highest scorers are newcomers, including 15 double-digit scoring efforts by junior Brendan Hausen, 14 by senior Coleman Hawkins and 13 by senior Max Jones.
N'Guessan has been the most consistent player, as he leads in scoring (12.6 ppg.) and is tied for the team lead in rebounding (7.0 rpg.) while hitting on a Big 12-best 64.2 percent (111-of-173) from the field. He has scored in double digits in 9 of 11 Big 12 games with 3 double doubles.
Hawkins is the only player in Division I averaging at least 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game this season. He is the team's leading scorer in Big 12 play at 13.2 points per game, while averaging 6.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. He became the first Wildcat to post a points/assists double-double vs. Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse, while he is one of just 5 Division I players to lead his team in rebounding, assists, blocks and steals.

A K-STATE WIN WOULD…

Give the team 5 straight wins for the first time this year.
Give the team 3 consecutive home wins vs. Kansas.
Extend Jerome Tang's Big 12 home record to 19-5.
Extend Jerome Tang to 12-3 vs. AP Top 25 teams at home.
Be the 1,752nd in program history, including 97th vs. Kansas.

LAST MEETING:
9/10 KANSAS 84, K-STATE 74 [Jan. 18, 2025]

K-State showed fight and resilience against a top 10 ranked Kansas team before a sold-out crowd at Allen Fieldhouse, but the Wildcats could not quite dig itself out of a double-digit deficit in falling 84-74 on Jan. 18.

LAST MEETING IN MANHATTAN:
K-STATE 75, 4/4 KANSAS 70 [OT] [Feb. 5, 2024]

Senior Tylor Perry scored a then season-high 26 points, including 8 in overtime, as K-State earned its second consecutive overtime win over Kansas in the last meeting at Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 5, 2024.

LAST TIME OUT:
K-STATE 71, ARIZONA STATE 70

Senior David N'Guessan led four Wildcats in double figures with a season-high 22 points, as K-State overcame a 16-point first-half deficit to run its winning streak to 4 games with a 71-70 win over Arizona State on Tuesday night before 6,868 fans at Desert Financial Arena.
N'Guessan made perhaps his best play of the night with K-State clinging to a 71-70 lead late in the game, as he fouled freshman Jayden Quaintance as he was attempting to dunk the game-winning basket with 4.1 seconds remaining, forcing him to connect on 2 free throws to win the game. However, Quaintance missed on both attempts and junior Dug McDaniel corralled the rebound and threw it down court to senior Max Jones to run out the clock.
N'Guessan finished the night 8-of-11 from the field, including 1-of-1 from 3-point range, and 5-of-6 from the free throw to go with a team-tying 8 rebounds in nearly 36 minutes. He posted his third career 20-point game, falling one point shy of his career-high 23 vs. ACU on Dec. 6, 2022, including his second this year.
N'Guessan was joined in double figures by Jones (15 points), junior Brendan Hausen (12 points) and senior Coleman Hawkins (11 points). McDaniel flirted with the school's first triple-double, finishing with 7 points, a team-tying 8 rebounds and a game-high 9 assists in 38 minutes.
The finish would not have been made possible if not for the Wildcats' epic comeback from a 16-point first half deficit, as the Sun Devils jumped out to a 15-0 lead en route to an 18-2 lead after a 3-point play from senior Alston Mason with just 12 minutes to play before halftime.
However, K-State slowly chipped away at the deficit, scoring 17 of the next 25 points to close to within 26-19 and forced a timeout by ASU head coach Bobby Hurley at the 4:47 mark. After a 3-pointer put the Sun Devils up by 10, the Wildcats ended the half on a 16-3 run to go ahead 35-32 at the break. Five players contributed points in the run, including 5 in a row by Jones.
K-State carried the momentum into the second half, scoring 13 of the first 16 points to go ahead 48-35 and force another ASU timeout with just over 13 minutes to play. The Sun Devils closed to within 53-49 on a 14-5 run just before the under-8 media timeout, but back-to-back 3-pointers from Jones and Hausen pulled the Wildcats ahead 60-52 with just over 7 minutes to play.
ASU made one last run after Hausen's 3-pointers, using an 11-2 run to go ahead 63-62 and force Tang to call a timeout with 3:24 remaining. The team traded the lead over the next few possessions before a 3-pointer by Hawkins and 2 free throws from N'Guessan gave K-State a 71-67 lead with 54 seconds. Alston was able to convert on a 3-point play to close it to 71-70 with 42 seconds.

INSIDE THE WINNING STREAK

K-State has made improvements on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball during its current 4-game winning streak, which is the longest such streak in Big 12 play since winning 4 in a row from Feb. 18 to March 1, 2023.
The Wildcats are averaging 77.3 points during its winning streak, connecting on 47.8 percent (109-of-228) from the field, including 44.2 percent (38-of-86) from 3-point range, while making 74.6 percent (53-of-71) from the line. Five players are averaging between 12.8 and 13.5 points per game, including Coleman Hawkins (13.5 ppg.), Max Jones (13.3 ppg.), Dug McDaniel (13.0 ppg.), David N'Guessan (12.8 ppg.) and Brendan Hausen (12.8 ppg.).
On the defensive end, K-State is allowing 62 points during the streak on 37.8 percent (87-of-230) shooting, including 31.6 percent (30-of-95) from 3-point range, while out-rebounding its opponents, 37-32.5, and forcing 14 turnovers. The Wildcats are averaging 33 points in the paint, 17 points off turnovers, 11.3 second-chance points and 15.5 fast-break points in this span.
The last 4 wins are examples of why getting off to good starts are important to winning, as K-State outscored No. 23/23 West Virginia, Oklahoma State, No. 3/3 Iowa State and Arizona State, 159-108, in the first half on 48.7 percent (58-of-119) shooting. The Wildcats jumped out to a 19-2 lead vs. the Mountaineers en route to a 42-18 lead at the break, while they enjoyed a 15-4 start against the Cowboys en route to a 45-23 advantage at the half.

BETTER FROM 3-POINT RANGE

One of the top priorities for Jerome Tang this past offseason was getting better production from the 3-point line. Last season, K-State ranked last in the Big 12 and 289th nationally in 3-point percentage at 31.8, while the Wildcats were 183rd in the nation in 3-point field goals made/game at 7.4.
Through 22 games, the Wildcats have made some improvement in that area, as they rank 106th nationally and sixth in the Big 12 in 3-point field goal percentage (35.3) and 94th in the nation and seventh in the league in 3-point field goals/game (8.6). They are also eighth in the Big 12 in attempts (24.5).
K-State has connected on 10 or more 3-pointers in 8 games, including a near school-record 21 triples vs. UAPB (12/1/24). The 21 3-pointers are the second-most behind the record 23 set vs. Fresno State in 1994. The Wildcats have made 10 or more treys in 7 other games, including 12 vs. Oklahoma State (1/29/25).
Six Wildcats have already registered double-digit 3-pointers led by junior Brendan Hausen's 68 makes. Hausen ranks first in the Big 12 in 3-point field goals made (68) and 3-pointers/game (3.1) and third in 3-point attempts (163). He ranks among the top-64 in all 4 categories. Other players with double-digit 3-pointers include senior Max Jones (35) and senior Coleman Hawkins (27).

OVERTIME STREAK ENDS

K-State saw its 12-game winning streak in overtime games end in the 73-70 loss to unbeaten Drake on Dec. 21 in the Wildcat Classic at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. In a game in which they trailed by as many as 20 points in the first half, the Wildcats seemingly tied the game at 70-all in overtime on a 3-pointer by senior Coleman Hawkins with 13 seconds before the Bulldogs' Bennett Stirtz's 3-pointer with 4 seconds left proved to be the game-winner.
K-State's 12-game overtime winning streak was the second-longest in Division I history since 1950 and the second-longest current streak behind Florida State (14; 2018-current) and right ahead of Winthrop (10; 2017-current).
K-State set the Division I single-season record with 7 overtime wins in 2023-24, which included Providence (73-70), Oral Roberts (88-78), North Alabama (75-74) and Villanova (72-71) in non-conference play and No. 9/9 Baylor (68-64), No. 4/4 Kansas (75-70) and West Virginia (94-90) in Big 12 action.
The 7 overtime wins in 2023-24 set the Division I single-season record, snapping a tie of 6 with Wake Forest (1983-84), Chattanooga (1988-89) and Lafayette (2007-08). The 7 overtime wins also broke the school record of 5, while it was the most overtime games in school history (5 total set in 1992-93 and 2022-23). The 6 overtime home wins were also the Division I mark.
The loss also snapped coach Jerome Tang's 13-game personal winning streak in overtime game, which dated back to an overtime win as interim head coach at Baylor in 2013 over Texas.

N'GUESSAN OFF TO STRONG START

Senior David N'Guessan is off to a strong start to his fifth and final year of college in 2024-25, as the De Lier, The Netherlands native has scored in double figures in a team-leading 19 games. He leads the Wildcats in scoring (12.6 ppg.) and field goals made (111) and is tied for the team in rebounding (7.0 rpg.) while hitting on a team-best 64.2 percent (111-of-173) from the field.
N'Guessan has scored in double figures in 9 of 11 Big 12 games, including his first career 20-point game in league play in the win at Arizona State. He scored a season-high 22 points vs. the Sun Devils on 8-of-11 field goals, including 1-of-1 from 3-point range, and 5-of-6 free throws to go with a team-tying 8 rebounds. He made the play of the night with K-State clinging to a 71-70 lead late in the game, as he fouled freshman Jayden Quaintance as he was attempting to dunk the game-winning basket with 4.1 seconds left, forcing him to hit 2 free throws to win the game. Quaintance missed both and K-State got the rebound.
N'Guessan has double-doubles in 3 Big 12 games, including 12 points and a career-best 17 rebounds at TCU (1/4/25), 12 points and a game-high 12 rebounds at Oklahoma State (1/7/25) and 13 points and 11 rebounds at Baylor (1/22/25). His 17 boards tied for the third-most by a Wildcat in a Big 12 game and were the most since Michael Beasley's 17 rebounds vs. Missouri in 2008.
N'Guessan made quite the season debut against New Orleans on Nov. 5 becoming the first Wildcat with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in an opener since Wesley Iwundu (23 points, 10 rebounds) in 2015. He scored his 21 points on 10-of-14 field goals to go with 15 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in nearly 31 minutes. It was his first career 20-point, 10-rebound performance.
N'Guessan, the last remaining member of the 2023 Elite Eight team, is in his third season at K-State after transferring from Virginia Tech in 2022-23. He has scored 730 points in his Wildcat career, connecting on 63.3 percent from the field, to go with 486 rebounds, 88 assists, 63 blocks and 62 steals in 85 games.
N'Guessan has been a part of 94 victories in college, including 3 trips to the NCAA Tournament (2021, 2022, 2023), an NIT appearance in 2024, an ACC Tournament title in 2022 at Virginia Tech and Elite Eight run in 2023 at K-State.

MR. ALL-AROUND

Senior Coleman Hawkins has proven himself to be an elite all-around player for the Wildcats, as he is one of 5 Division I players to lead his team in rebounding (7.0 rpg.), assists (4.5 apg.), steals (2.0 spg.) and blocks (1.3 bpg.), while he is second in field goals made (90) and third in scoring (11.2 ppg.).
Hawkins scored in double figures 14 times (9 in Big 12 play) with a season-high 20 points vs. No. 16/17 Cincinnati (12/30/24) on 7-of-13 field goals. He also has 3 double-digit rebounding games, while he became the first Wildcat to record a points/assists double-double at Allen Fieldhouse vs. Kansas (1/18/25) with 15 points and a career-tying 10 assists for his ninth career double-double.
Hawkins ranks in the Big 12's top-10 in 6 categories, including steals (2.1 spg./5th), minutes (33.2 mpg./5th), assists (4.5 apg./7th), defensive rebounds (4.95/7th), rebounds (7.0 rpg./9th) and blocks (1.3 bpg./10th).
Hawkins is the Wildcats' leading scorer (13.2 ppg.) in Big 12 play, scoring in double figures in 9 of 11 league games. He also leads the team in field goals made (53), assists (53), steals (19) and blocked shots (12) in league action.

HAUSEN GOOD FROM 3

Junior guard Brendan Hausen has given the Wildcats a scoring threat from 3-point range, as the Villanova transfer ranks first in the Big 12 in total 3-point field goals made (68) and 3-pointers/game (3.09) and third in 3-point field goal percentage (41.7) and 3-point attempts (163).
Hausen has connected on at least 2 made 3-pointers in 18 of 22 games while he had a season-high 6 makes against Cleveland State (11/9/24) and at St. John's (12/7/24). With his 5-of-5 performance vs. Oklahoma State (1/29/25), he became the seventh player to go 5-of-5 or better from 3-point range and the first since Denis Clemente went 6-of-6 at Texas on Jan. 31, 2009.
Hausen had his best shooting performance in the Big 12/BIG EAST Battle at St. John's (12/7/24), as he posted his second 20-point game of the season with a career-best 27 points on 9-of-17 field goals, including 6-of-10 from 3-point range. He scored 21 of his 27 points in the first half, becoming the 21st player in school history to score 20 or more points in an opening half.
A starter in all 22 games, Hausen ranks second on the team in scoring (12.1 ppg.) while connecting on 42 percent from the field, including 41.7 percent from 3-point range. He is second on the team behind David N'Guessan with 15 double-digit scoring games, including 13 of the last 18 games.
Dubbed the 'Amarillo Assassin' for his 3-point ability in high school, Hausen has totaled 156 made 3-pointers in his 88-game college career, making 40.4 percent from the field. He was Villanova's top 3-point shooting threat in 2023-24, totaling 61 makes on 38.1 percent shooting from the bench.

POINT GUARD BY COMMITTEE

A weakness a year ago, head coach Jerome Tang made it a point to have options at the point guard position in 2024-25, bringing in transfers C.J. Jones (UIC) and Dug McDaniel (Michigan) to go with incoming freshman David Castillo. Throw in versatile big man Coleman Hawkins, who is second on the team with 4.5 assists/game, and the coaching staff have plenty of ball handlers.
K-State is averaging 16.4 assists through 22 games this season, which ranks 41st nationally and sixth in the Big 12, while the team has assists on more than 60 percent of their made baskets (359 out of 584). The Wildcats have dished out more than 20 assists 3 times, including 30 on 40 field goals while breaking the school scoring record (120) vs. UAPB (12/1/24). The 30 assists tied for the second-most and the most since the record of 34 was set in 1985.
McDaniel has started each of the first 11 Big 12 games after coming off the bench much of the season. He is second on the team in both assists (93) and steals (34) while averaging 30.0 minutes per game. He has scored in double figures in 11 of the last 18 games, including a season-best 20 points in the win over No. 3/3 Iowa State (2/1/25) to go along with a game-high 5 assists.
Jones has started 8 games, averaging 5.9 points on 41.6 percent shooting with 1.7 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 18.9 minutes per game. He has at least 2 assists in 10 games, while he posted his first double-digit scoring game (10 points) in Big 12 play vs. No. 23/23 West Virginia (1/25/25).
Castillo, who started vs. Drake (12/17/24) and Wichita State (12/21/24), played a season-high 23 minutes off the bench vs. No. 9/10 Kansas (1/18/25).

SUCCESS IN NON-CONFERENCE PLAY

K-State has posted a 187-61 (.764) record in non-conference play since the 2006-07 season. During that span, the Wildcats have a 146-18 (.899) mark at home venues (includes games played at Bramlage Coliseum, INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita and the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City) in non-conference play, including a 130-14 (.907) mark at Bramlage Coliseum.
K-State's 12-1 non-conference mark in 2022-23 was the best since the 2009-10 team went a program-best 13-1. The 6-5 record in 2024-25 is the worst since the 2020-21 season (4-5) and worst non-COVID season start since 1970-71 (5-6).

'CATS PICKED 8TH IN BIG 12 POLL; HAWKINS NAMED CO-NEWCOMER

K-State was picked eighth in the new 16-team Big 12 preseason poll, while senior transfer Coleman Hawkins was named the league's co-Newcomer of the Year, alongside Baylor's Jeremy Roach.
Hawkins is the first Wildcat to be selected as the Preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and the fourth to be chosen for a preseason player honor, joining Michael Beasley (2007-08 Preseason Big 12 Freshman of the Year), Jacob Pullen (2010-11 Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year) and Dean Wade (2018-19 Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year).
Hawkins, who earned All-Big Ten honors at Illinois in 2023-24, was also selected to the preseason All-Big 12 Second Team by the league coaches, joining Baylor's Norchad Omier and Roach, Iowa State's Keshon Gilbert and Kansas' Dajuan Harris Jr.
Hawkins is also the first Wildcat to earn selection to one of the main preseason all-conference teams by the coaches since Barry Brown Jr. and Wade in 2018-19. He is one of eight players in school history to be chosen for preseason all-conference honors dating to Manny Dies in 1998-99. Others include Pullen and Curtis Kelly in 2010-11, Rodney McGruder in 2012-13 and Marcus Foster in 2014-15.
K-State received 133 points to place eighth in the poll, just two points behind seventh-place Texas Tech and 17 points ahead of ninth-place BYU.
Kansas was picked first with 215 points and nine first-place votes followed closely by Houston (211, five first-place votes), third-place Iowa State (194, one first-place vote), fourth-place Baylor (185) and fifth-place Arizona (179, one first-place vote).
Hawkins has also been named to the watch list for the Naismith Trophy as well as the Karl Malone Power Forward of the Year Award.
