MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State scored the first 8 points out of halftime as part of an 11-2 run to open the second half, as the Wildcats flipped the momentum en route to wrapping up non-conference play with a 62-55 win over Chicago State on Tuesday night before 9,123 fans at Bramlage Coliseum.
With the victory, K-State (10-3) tallied double-digit wins in non-conference play for the second consecutive season while dispatching a pesky Chicago State (7-13) team – the lone independent team in Division I – which already has a win over a Top 25 opponent (Northwestern) this season.
Junior Cam Carter had an all-around impressive night for the Wildcats, scoring a game-tying 19 points on 6-of-16 field goals and 6-of-6 free throws to go with 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 assists in 36 minutes. Fellow junior Arthur Kaluma collected his sixth career double-double, including his third as a Wildcat, with 14 points and a season-tying 13 rebounds, while senior David N'Guessan narrowly missed a double-double with 12 points and 9 rebounds and a pair of blocks.
