MANHATTAN — After a painful two-game road trip last week, Kansas State basketball is back at home Tuesday night to face Oklahoma in another Big 12 test at Bramlage Coliseum.
The Wildcats (14-6, 4-3 Big 12) are coming off a 74-52 blowout loss at Houston on Saturday and also dropped a 78-67 decision to Iowa State last Wednesday to fall out of first place in the conference. They now face a third straight nationally ranked opponent in No. 24 Oklahoma (15-5, 3-4), although the Sooners suffered two losses of their own last week — both at home, not less — to Texas (75-60) and Texas Tech (85-84).
K-State has been plagued all season by turnovers, averaging 15 per game, and their turnover margin in the past three games against Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Houston is a combined minus-12. But coach Jerome Tang said Monday he is more concerned about the fact that over the same three games the Wildcats have been outrebounded on the offensive end, 38-17, and have been outscored from the free-throw line, 63-34.
For Oklahoma, which averages 78.6 points per game and allows 66.6, Javian McCollum is the leading scorer at 14.3 points, with Otega Oweh adding 13.9. Cam Carter leads K-State with a 16.3-point average, while Arthur Kaluma averages 15 and Tylor Perry 14.
