K-STATE HOSTS 10/10 IOWA STATE ON SENIOR DAY SATURDAY
K-State (15-15, 9-10 Big 12) concludes the regular season on Saturday, as the Wildcats play host to No. 10/10 Iowa State (22-8, 12-7 Big 12) at 12:30 p.m. CT on CBS. It will be Senior Day at Bramlage Coliseum, as the school will honor managers David Brown, Jarek Clark and Kameron Shaw as well as players Spencer Bain, Coleman Hawkins, Max Jones and David N'Guessan in pregame.

K-State and Iowa State will be meeting for the 242nd time on Saturday, as the Wildcats' 147 win are the most against one opponent in school history. The Cyclones hold a slight 31-30 edge in the Big 12 era, as the Wildcats look to sweep the season series for the first time since 2020-21 after earning an 80-61 win on Feb. 1 to snap a 29-game homecourt winning streak at Hilton Coliseum.

It has been a roller coaster of a Big 12 season for K-State, which has had a 6-game losing streak followed by a 6-game winning streak followed by a 4-game losing streak followed by a current 2-game winning streak. The Wildcats got some good news in Wednesday's win at Cincinnati, as senior Coleman Hawkins played nearly 34 minutes in his return to the court after missing 2 games.

LAST TIME OUT
Senior David N'Guessan continued his strong play in Wednesday's 54-49 win at Cincinnati with his team-leading sixth double-double of the season (and ninth overall) with a game-high 18 points and 10 rebounds. N'Guessan led or was tied for the team lead in 5 different categories, including points, rebounds, assists (4), steals (2) and blocks (1). He scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half in helping the Wildcats overcome a halftime deficit for the first time this season.

The stifling defensive effort helped snap a 3-game road skid while sweeping the regular-season series from the Bearcats. The 49 points were the fewest allowed by a Jerome Tang team and the fewest allowed in a conference game since Oklahoma State had 46 points on Feb. 23, 2019. The 54 points were the fewest in a road win since a 50-46 win at Iowa State on Feb. 21, 2009.

KEY STORYLINES

Newcomers have combined to score 1676 (77.8 percent) of the team's 2153 points, accounting for 78 of 102 double-digit scoring games. Senior returner David N'Guessan has scored in double figures in a team-best 24 games (out of 30 games played) with five 20-point performances, but the next 6 highest scorers are newcomers, including 19 double-digit scoring efforts by junior Brendan Hausen and 18 by junior Dug McDaniel, 16 by senior Max Jones and 15 by senior Coleman Hawkins.
N'Guessan, who earned Big 12 Player of the Week honors for the first time on Feb. 10, continues to lead the Wildcats in both scoring (13.1 ppg.) and rebounding (7.2 rpg.) while connecting on a Big 12-best 63.1 percent (161-of-255) from the field. He has scored in double figures in 14 of 19 Big 12 games with 5 double-doubles, including an 18-point, 10-rebound effort at Cincinnati on Wednesday.
McDaniel has continued his emergence in the last 13 games, as he is averaging 13.5 points, 5.9 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals with 11 double-digit scoring games, including three 20-point efforts against No. 3/3 Iowa State (2/1/25), No. 13/13 Arizona (2/11/25) and BYU (2/15/25).

LAST TIME OUT:
K-STATE 54, CINCINNATI 49

Senior David N'Guessan collected his team-leading sixth double-double of the season with a game-high 18 points and 10 rebounds in helping K-State to a 54-49 win over Cincinnati on Wednesday before 10,814 fans at Fifth Third Arena.
K-State (15-15, 9-10 Big 12) used a stifling defensive effort to snap a 3-game road losing streak while sweeping the regular season series from Cincinnati, including its first-ever road win in four tries. The 49 points were the fewest allowed by a Jerome Tang team and the fewest allowed by the Wildcats in a conference game since Oklahoma State scored 46 points on Feb. 23, 2019.
In addition to N'Guessan's stellar performance, the game marked the return of senior Coleman Hawkins, who missed the last 2 games due to injury. Hawkins was his usual all-around self despite some rust, posting 9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block in nearly 34 minutes.
The two seniors, along with junior Dug McDaniel and senior Max Jones, helped spark a big second-half run by K-State, which rallied from a halftime deficit for the first time in 11 tries while connecting on 50 percent (13-of-26) from the field, including 61.9 percent (13-of-21) on 2-point attempts. The turnaround in the second half came after the Wildcats scored a season-tying low 22 points in the opening half on just 32.1 percent (9-of-28).
K-State went nearly 5 minutes without scoring in the first half, making just 4 of their first 17 field goals, including 1 of their first 10 from 3-point range, as Cincinnati built as much as an 8-point lead (19-11). A 3-pointer from Jones helped start a 10-2 run that knotted the game at 21-all with 1:38 to play in the opening half. However, two free throws from Aziz Bandaogo and layup from Dan Skillings Jr. lifted the Bearcats to a 25-22 lead at halftime.
Cincinnati carried its momentum into the second half, scoring 10 of the first 16 points to extend the lead to 35-28 after the first media timeout. However, Jones ignited another K-State run, as his jumper sparked a string of 8 straight points that gave K-State a 36-35 lead with just under 12 minutes remaining.
After the Bearcats went back ahead on a jumper at 37-36 after a timeout, junior C.J. Jones gave the Wildcats the lead for good with a jumper at the front of the rim that sparked a 6-3 run that extended the lead to 44-40 at the third media timeout. The home team pulled to within 46-45 with 6:21 to play but 6 straight points gave the Wildcats a 52-45 edge with just over 4 minutes left.
A 4-0 run got Cincinnati to within 52-49 with 1:48 to play, but the Bearcats could get no closer as the Wildcats locked down defensively before Brendan Hausen knocked down a pair of free throws for a 54-49 lead with 22 seconds.
McDaniel joined N'Guessan in double figures with 13 points to go with 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 rebounds in more than 38 minutes. Jones matched Hawkins' 9 points to go with 7 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal.

INSIDE THE WINNING STREAK

K-State made improvements on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball during its 6-game winning streak from Jan. 25-Feb. 11, which was the longest in Big 12 play since winning 9 in a row from Jan. 9 to Feb. 12, 2019.
The Wildcats averaged 77.2 points during its winning streak, connecting on 47.8 percent (170-of-356) from the field, including 37.9 percent (50-of-132) from 3-point range, while making 70.9 percent (73-of-103) from the free throw line. Five players averaged between 15 and 11.3 points per game, including Dug McDaniel (15.2 ppg.), David N'Guessan (14.5 ppg.), Coleman Hawkins (12.0 ppg.), Max Jones (12.0 ppg.) and Brendan Hausen (11.3 ppg.).

The Wildcats averaged 36.3 points in the paint, 17.3 points off turnovers, 9.2 second-chance points and 14.3 fast-break points in this span.
The last 6 wins were 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, Arizona State, No. 16/17 Kansas and No. 13/13 Arizona, 238-173, in the first half on 48.9 percent (91-of-186) shooting. The Wildcats jumped out 19-2 vs. the Mountaineers en route to a 42-18 lead at the break, while they enjoyed a 15-4 start vs. 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 30 games, the Wildcats have made some improvement in that area, as they rank 140th nationally and eighth in the Big 12 in 3-point field goals/ game (8.0) and 204th in the nation and eighth in the league in 3-point field goal percentage (33.6). They are also eighth in the Big 12 in attempts (23.9).
K-State has connected on 10 or more 3-pointers in 9 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 8 other games, including 11 at Utah (2/17/25).
Six Wildcats have registered double-digit 3-pointers led by junior Brendan Hausen's 86 makes. He ranks third in the Big 12 in 3-pointers/game (2.87) and 3-point field goals and 3-point percentage (39.3). He ranks among the top 60 in all 4 categories. Other players with double-digit 3-pointers include senior Max Jones (43), junior Dug McDaniel (32) and senior Coleman Hawkins (31).

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.

TOP 25 SUCCESS UNDER TANG

Head coach Jerome Tang has enjoyed success against Top 25 teams since he came to K-State prior to the 2022-23 season, posting a 16-15 record, including a 5-2 mark in 2024-25. The win over No. 13/13 Arizona (2/11/25) was the fifth this season, which ties the Wildcats for the most in the Big 12.
Tang is now 13-3 at home vs. AP Top 25 opponents, including 4-1 in 2024-25. His 16 career Top 25 wins tie Tex Winter (1954-68) for the fourth-most in school history. K-State's 16 Top 25 wins tie for the third-most (along with Alabama and Iowa State) since 2022-23, trailing the 19 by Tennessee and 17 by Kansas.

N'GUESSAN CONTINUES STRONG START

He recorded his second career 20-point, 10-rebound effort in the second matchup vs. ASU (2/23/25) with 20 points and 13 rebounds before his latest 20-point outing vs. Colorado (3/2/25) on 8-of-14 field goals.
N'Guessan has double-doubles in 6 games this season, including 5 during Big 12 play. He had 12 points and a career-best 17 rebounds at TCU (1/4/25), 12 points and 12 boards at Oklahoma State (1/7/25), 13 points and 11 rebounds at Baylor (1/22/25), 20 points and 13 rebounds vs. Arizona State (2/23/25) and 18 points and 10 rebounds at Cincinnati (3/5/25). His 17 boards tied for the third-most by a Wildcat in a Big 12 game and were the most since 2008.
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 846 points in his Wildcat career, connecting on 63 percent from the field, to go with 548 rebounds, 98 assists, 67 blocks and 69 steals in 93 games.

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 the only Division I player to average at least 10 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks this season. He leads in steals (1.9 spg.) and blocks (1.3 bpg.) while he is second in rebounding (6.8 rpg.) and assists (4.5 apg.) and fourth in scoring (10.6 ppg.).
Hawkins scored in double figures 15 times (10 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.

HAUSEN GOOD FROM 3

Junior guard Brendan Hausen has given the Wildcats a scoring threat from 3-point range, as the Villanova transfer ranks third in the Big 12 in total 3-point field goals (86), 3-pointers/game (2.87), 3-point field goal percentage (39.3) and 3-point attempts (219).
Hausen has connected on at least 2 made 3-pointers in 24 of 30 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.

Dubbed the 'Amarillo Assassin' for his 3-point ability in high school, Hausen has totaled 174 made 3-pointers in his 96-game college career, making 39.4 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.

HEAD OF THE SNAKE

Junior Dug McDaniel has asserted himself as the team's point guard, as he has started all 19 Big 12 games after coming off the bench for much of the non-conference season. Since he was put into the lineup in the Big 12 opener, he ranks first in assists (5.1 apg.), steals (1.5 spg.) and minutes (34.8 mpg.), second in scoring (12.0 ppg.) and third in 3-point field goals made (23).
McDaniel was particularly impactful during the Wildcats' 6-game win streak, as he averaged a team-best 15.2 points on 40.4 percent shooting with 6.7 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 34.5 minutes per game. He scored in double figures in 5 of those 6 games, including a pair of 20-point efforts (at No. 3/3 Iowa State and vs. No. 13/13 Arizona), while he posted his second career double-double vs. No. 16/17 Kansas with 15 points and a career-best 11 assists.

'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.
