Kansas State upsets Oklahoma
Kansas State guard Barry Brown didn’t need any lastminute heroics this time.
After hitting game-winners in the final minute of the Wildcats’ previous two games, he helped Kansas State control Oklahoma from start to finish. Brown scored 25 points as Kansas State beat the 20thranked Sooners 74-61 on Wednesday night in Norman, Okla.
Brown, off his first Big 12 player of the week honor, is averaging 25.7 points during a three-game win streak.
“Obviously, Barry’s playing at a really high level,” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. “But I love that he had five assists. That means at least he’s seeing some other things.”
Dean Wade added 20 points in his second game back since missing six in a row because of a torn tendon in his right foot.
Kansas State (13-4, 3-2 Big 12) shot 50 percent from the field against Oklahoma (13-4, 2-3), which was holding opponents to 37.7 percent, ninth nationally.
