TCU ends Kansas State’s 9-game winning streak

FORT WORTH — Emanuel Miller scored 23 points, Eddie Lampkin Jr. had a season-high 17 with several key inside baskets and No. 17 TCU beat 11thranked Kansas State 82-68 on Saturday, ending the Wildcats' ninegame winning streak.

Mike Miles Jr. had a double-double with 13 points with 11 assists for the Horned Frogs (14-3, 3-2 Big 12), who were coming off back-to-back losses after an 11-game winning streak of their own. Damion Baugh had 11 points.

Kansas State (15-2, 4-1) had gone from unranked to the verge of the top 10 after winning three consecutive games against Top 25 teams. The Wildcats beat Oklahoma State in their first home game as a ranked team in four years on Tuesday, then jumped out to a 11-6 lead in their first road game before Lampkin and TCU took over.

Keyontae Johnson had 18 for the Wildcats, who trailed by as many as 25 points midway through the second half before some late baskets. Markquis Nowell finished with 16 points on 6-of-14 shooting, but only after scoring 14 in the final 5½ minutes. Nowell was coming off four consecutive 20point games.

Lampkin had back-toback layups on passes from Miles during the middle of TCU's second 13-2 run before halftime. He took an inbound pass from Miles, who then stole the ball from Nowell and was in the lane when he made a leaping nolook pass to his 6-foot-11, 263-pound teammate for another layup that made it 32-21. That run ended with consecutive baskets by Miller that made it 38-23.

During the middle of their earlier 13-2 run, which took the Frogs from a five-point deficit to leading for good, Lampkin made a layup with the crowd already in a frenzy. When he got back to the other end setting up for defense, Lampkin bent over and slammed both hands on the floor to fire up the

fans even more.

CHARLOTTE 72, UTSA 54

Igor Milicic Jr. scored 16 points and Jackson Threadgill added 14 and the 49ers never trailed in a Conference USA game at Charlotte, N.C.

Japhet Medor led UTSA with 18 points and five rebounds. DJ Richards was the lone other double-digit scorer for the Roadrunners as the freshman from Houston knocked down three triples and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds to go with his 14 points.

Charlotte (12-5, 3-3 C-USA) snapped a twogame skid of its own and has now won three of its last five contests. The 49ers held UTSA to a 36 percent shooting percentage and limited the Roadrunners to just three assists.
