▪ ABOUT KANSAS STATE (11-7, 1-5 Big 12): The Wildcats return home for a rare game against a team not ranked in the top 25. Four of K-State’s past four games have come against ranked opponents, and it lost all four games. Stokes came off the bench last time out against Baylor, but he led K-State with 20 points. Odds are good he will return to the starting lineup.
▪ ABOUT OKLAHOMA STATE (10-8, 2-4 Big 12): The Cowboys initially struggled when guard Phil Forte went down with an injury, but they have looked much better of late. Evans is the main reason. One of the most promising freshmen in the Big 12, he has averaged 17.3 points in his past eight games, including a 42-point outburst against Oklahoma and 22 against Kansas.
