ABOUT OKLAHOMA STATE (18-9, 7-7): The Cowboys have turned things around dramatically since they last played the Wildcats. K-State beat Oklahoma State 96-88 last month, handing the Cowboys their sixth straight loss. Oklahoma State has been the hottest team in the league since, winning eight of nine. The Cowboys have taken advantage of a soft stretch in the schedule to make an NCAA Tournament push. Evans has really turned it on and is among the conference’s leading scorers.
ABOUT KANSAS STATE (17-10, 6-8): This is an important game for coach Bruce Weber and for K-State’s NCAA Tournament hopes. A victory would give Weber a season sweep against Oklahoma State coach Brad Underwood, a fan favorite some wanted to replace Weber last season, and also give the Wildcats the inside track to the No. 5 seed at the conference tournament. K-State defeated Oklahoma State at Gallagher-Iba Arena last month with balanced scoring, led by Brown’s 22 points.
