No. 12 Kansas State remains unbeaten

-

Dean Wade scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half and Barry Brown added 16 as No. 12 Kansas State beat Lehigh 77-58 on Saturday in Manhattan Kan.

The Wildcats (6-0) controlled the second half after the Mountain Hawks (4-2) hung around and trailed by just two at halftime.

The Wildcats' shooting woes at home continued: They made just 6 of 20 3-point attempts.

James Karnik had 15 points and eight rebounds for Lehigh (4-2), and Pat Andree scored 12.

Kansas State will take on arguably its toughest test of the season thus far when it travels to Marquette next Saturday.

Buffalo stays perfect: CJ Massinburg scored 21 points and No. 22 Buffalo overcame a slow start to beat Marist 76-49 in Amherst, N.Y.

Buffalo is 5-0 for the first time since 1986-87, when it was a Division III program.

Buffalo averaged more than 88 points over its first four wins, and only Villanova scored in the 80s more times last season. The Bulls matched a school record for points in a Division I game in Wednesday's 110-71 win over Dartmouth.

“We knew they were going to try to slow it down,” coach Nate Oats said. “Everybody does it. Nobody wants to try to run with us, so everybody is going to try to run as much clock as they can.

“I would hate to play like that as a player. That's why I don't coach like that. But that might be the best way for them to try and get a win.”
