Iwundu debuts

K-State sophomore Wesley Iwundu played in his first game of the season Monday, scoring three points and grabbing three rebounds in 24 minutes. Weber said the team’s trainer recommended playing Iwundu for about eight minutes, but Weber ignored that advice when he saw Iwundu playing well. Malek Harris and Nino Williams remained sidelined, but Weber said Williams could return against Long Beach State. He said Harris may play in Maui next week.
