NCAA: Kansas State over BYU, 84-72
ncaa, kansas state, byu, college basketball, bracket
Jacob Pullen scored a career-high 34 points, and Kansas State gained energy from a late first-half run to beat BYU, 84-72, in a second-round game from the West Region in the NCAA Tournament.
Denis Clemente added 19 points, and Curtis Kelly scored 10 for the second- seeded Wildcats (28-7), who advanced to Salt Lake City to play in the Sweet 16 against the winner of Sunday’s game between third seed Pittsburgh and sixth seed Xavier. Pullen, who made all 11 of his foul shots, went 7-of-12 from three-point range.
“We knew our defensive presence could bother them if we got into pressure,” Pullen said. “We knew if we stood still and they passed the ball around and shot threes, it would be a long night for us. We just really had to key in on our defense, and we got comfortable on the offensive side and got the shots we wanted to really control the game.”
This is the best showing for Kansas State in the tourney since losing to in- state rival Kansas in a regional final in 1988. Incidentally, the Wildcats are the last team remaining from the Sunflower State, as the Kansas Jayhawks, the top overall seed, were upset by Northern Iowa on Saturday.
Jimmer Fredette had 21 points for the seventh-seeded Cougars (30-6), who haven’t won two games in a single NCAA Tournament year since 1981, when they fell to Virginia in a regional final. Tyler Haws had 14 points, and Jackson Emery 13 in defeat.
Coming into this year, BYU had lost eight straight NCAA Tournament games. After defeating No. 10 seed Florida in a thrilling double-overtime game on Thursday, BYU scored the first 10 points against the Wildcats but gave up the lead late in the first half and never recovered.
