OPENING TIP

• No. 23/21 Kansas State (20-6, 10-3 Big 12) returns home this weekend, as the Wildcats host Oklahoma State (10-16, 3-10 Big 12) at Bramlage Coliseum. K-State used a near school-record 16 3-point field goals to down OSU, 75-57, in the first meeting on Feb. 2 at Gallagher-Iba Arena. The game will tip at 3:05 p.m., CT on ESPN2 with Chuckie Kempf (play-by-play) and Bryndon Manzer (analyst) on the call.
• K-State enters Saturday’s game in first place in the Big 12, one game ahead of the second-place duo of No. 14/14 Texas Tech (21-5, 9-4 Big 12) and No. 12/12 Kansas (20-6, 9-4 Big 12) and two games ahead of the fourth-place tandem of No. 19/20 Iowa State (19-7, 8-5 Big 12) and Baylor (17-9, 8-5 Big 12). Seven Big 12 schools have at least 5 league wins with 5 games left in the regular season.
• Saturday’s contest will be Throwback Day at Bramlage Coliseum, as K-State will wear special two-tone lavender throwback uniforms, which were worn from 1973 to 1982 and made famous by the Purple Pop-Gun tandem of Mike Evans and Chuckie Williams during the 1974-75 and 1975-76 seasons and commemorated by Rolando Blackman on the cover of Sports Illustrated after the 1981 upset of No. 1 Oregon State in the NCAA Tournament. Overall, the Wildcats posted an 186-81 (.697) record during the period of the uniform (1973-82), including an 85-41 mark in Big Eight play, winning the 1977 Big Eight regular-season title and the 1977 and 1980 Big Eight Tournament crowns to go with five NCAA Tournament appearances.
• K-State bounced back from its first Big 12 loss in more than a month on Monday, as the Wildcats broke open a 42-all tie with a 19-2 run midway through the second half to extend their Big 12 road winning streak to 6 games with a 65-51 win at West Virginia. The victory gave K-State 20 wins for the fifth time in head coach Bruce Weber’s 7 seasons, including 10 in Big 12 play for the fourth time under Weber and in back-to-back seasons. The 6-game Big 12 road winning streak is the longest since also winning 6 from Jan. 16 to Feb. 23, 2010. Senior Barry Brown, Jr., paced three Wildcats in double figures with a game-high 21 points to go with game-highs in both assists (4) and steals (4) to help the Wildcats snap a 5-game skid at the WVU Coliseum and sweep the series from the Mountaineers for the first time since 2013.
• Oklahoma State enters Saturday’s game with a momentum after ending a 5-game losing streak with a 68-61 win over TCU at home on Monday. The Big 12’s best 3-point shooting team knocked down 11 triples against the Horned Frogs and have 2 players among the league’s Top 5 in 3-point field goals made (Thomas Dziagwa [3.3 3FGM/1st] and Lindy Waters III [2.1 3FGM/5th]). Junior Cameron McGriff paces the Cowboys in both scoring (12.9 ppg.) and rebounding (7.5 rpg.).
• K-State got back to its defensive ways against West Virginia on Monday, holding the Mountaineers to 51 points on 34.6 percent shooting, including 21.7 percent from 3-point range. The Wildcats have been one of the better defensive teams in the nation, allowing 59.8 points on 41.5 percent shooting, including 31.8 percent from 3-point range, and forcing opponents into 15.0 turnovers per game.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Senior guard Barry Brown, Jr., has been named one of 10 semifinalists for the 2019 Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Award presented by Bona, as announced by the Atlanta Tipoff Club (Feb. 21).

 

Brown was one of two Big 12 players named as semifinalists, joining Texas Tech graduate transfer Tariq Owens. The other semifinalists include Gonzaga’s Brandon Clarke, Kentucky’s Ashton Hagans, Virginia’s De’Andre Hunter, Duke’s Tre Jones and Zion Williamson, Michigan’s Zavier Simpson, Washington’s Matisse Thybulle and Tennessee’s Grant Williams.

 

A 6-foot-3, 195-pound three-year lettermen from St. Petersburg, Florida, Brown currently captains the nation’s fourth-best scoring defense (59.8 ppg.). The Wildcats rank among the national leaders in several defensive categories and have held 14 of 26 opponents to 60 points or less this season.

 

The school’s all-time steals leader, Brown currently ranks seventh in Big 12 history with 240 steals, just seven behind Kansas’ Russell Robinson (2004-08) for sixth place. He needs 25 more steals to crack the Top 5.

 

Brown leads the Wildcats in a number of categories, including scoring (15.9 ppg.), 20-point games (7), double-figure scoring games (22), field goals made (154) and steals (51). He ranks among the career Top 10 in 14 different categories, including points (1,696/5^th), double-digit scoring games (85, 6^th), field goals made (603, 6^th), field goals attempted (1,429, 5^th), 3-point field goals made (167, 8^th), 3-point field goals attempted (512, 6^th), free throws attempts (464, 10^th), assists (326, 7^th), steals (240, 1^st), consecutive games played (131/1^st), consecutive starts (109, 2^nd), games played (131, t-7^th), starts (109, 7^th) and minutes played (4,190/2^nd).

 

The all-time leader in consecutive games played, Brown is one of just two Wildcats (Steve Henson) to eclipse 4,000 career minutes played, while his 4,190 career minutes rank eighth in Big 12 history.

 

No. 23/21 K-State (20-6, 10-3 Big 12) returns to Bramlage Coliseum on Saturday when the Wildcats host Oklahoma State (10-16, 3-10 Big 12) at 3 p.m., CT on ESPN2.
