Jayhawks outperform Wildcats in Sunflower Showdown
In Saturday's Sunflower Showdown, the No. 9 Jayhawks came out and torched the Kansas State Wildcats in the first few minutes of the game and never let them have a chance from there.
Kansas started out with a 20-5 run thanks to transition play and a firm defense. As a team, the Wildcats shot a horrendous 33 percent from the field on 60 shots, while the Jayhawks shot 44.8 percent. Kansas' persistent defense led it to victory with the team collecting seven steals and seven blocks.
Four of those blocks came from the hustle of Kansas sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr. One of his blocks came in the first half when Selden sent Kansas State sophomore guard Marcus Foster's layup into the stands. Selden not only gave the Jayhawks defensive intensity, but also spread the floor with nine points from beyond the arc.
Unlike most games this season, the Kansas offense was not able to run through sophomore guard Frank Mason III, who shot 0-of-12 from the field (0-of-4 from three-point range). Junior forward Perry Ellis led the Jayhawks with 16 points and 12 rebounds, including an alley-oop dunk from junior forward Jamari Traylor.
omore guard Brannen Greene had another big game for the Jayhawks with 11 points, including 3-for-4 shooting beyond the arc. Freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. also gave the Jayhawks eight points and nine rebounds on the day.

The Wildcats were simply outplayed on both sides of the basketball. On offense they couldn't buy a bucket and had a hard time distributing, only recording nine assists on the game. Along with the shooting percentage, the Wildcats struggled from the free-throw line with 12-of-21 free throws. Kansas State senior forward Nino Williams only contributed four points on seven shots. Williams has averaged nearly 12 points a game but couldn't find his stroke on Saturday.
up two-thirds of Kansas State's total score for the night. Gipson was 7-of-13 shooting along with seven rebounds.
Despite the strong performance from the Jayhawks on both sides of the basketball, the two freshmen, forward Cliff Al
exander and guard Devonte' Graham, struggled coming off the bench with a combined three points on 1-of-6 shots.
At the end of the second half the Jayhawks prevented any sort of comeback from Kansas State, playing great defense and keeping the Wildcats from getting within single digits. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 68-57, and after defeating Iowa State 89-76, are now 19-3 (8-1) in the Big 12.
