After having numerous opportunities throughout the season to take down a top 25 ranked team, Kansas State finally comes through, beating the top ranked team Oklahoma 80-69 Saturday evening at Bramlage Coliseum.

A strong defensive effort and special play by Wesley Iwundu helped the Wildcats along the way. Iwundu finished with 22 points, 7 assists and just one turnover to lead Kansas State.

“He was special, there’s no doubt. You need somebody to step up and be special,” said Weber. “You need somebody to be special, but these guys, the whole team did a great job. It was a team win there’s no doubt, but Wes spearheaded it.”

The Wildcats were 0-8 against ranked teams this season, including overtime losses to West Virginia and Baylor. Weber now improves to 4-0 at Bramlage Coliseum against the Lon Kruger led Sooners.

“It’s tough to win on the road period, the K-State club fought and competed hard, and it’s just hard to win, hard to win games,” said Kruger about losing four straight in Bramlage.

Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield, was held in check by Iwundu. Scoring his 23 points for the game was not made easy, going just 3-8 from three-point land.

“Everyone is going to make it tough for me. I just have to find a way to score the ball,” said Hield. “I started attacking better late in the second half, and I should have done that Earlier. I just have to do a better job. They had a great game trying to defend me.”

Oklahoma falls to (19-3, 7-3), and Kansas State improved to (14-9, 3-7).

The Sooners will have the quick turnaround, as they host Texas Monday night in the Big Monday matchup on ESPN. Kansas State now has a couple extra days before getting right back at it against #15/13 Baylor Wednesday night at Bramlage Coliseum.
