Kansas State Wildcats Outlook
Kansas State snapped a four-game skid with a 108-49 rout of Mississippi Valley State. PJ Haggerty poured in 28 points on 78.5% shooting, continuing his nation-leading 24.0 scoring average. David Castillo (12.9 ppg), Nate Johnson (12.4), Abdi Bashir Jr. (12.3), and Khamari McGriff (10.1) provide balanced support. The Wildcats average 86.7 points per game and rank 11th nationally in three-point shooting (40.2%). Their offensive firepower makes them dangerous, especially if Haggerty stays hot.
