KANSAS STATE WILDCATS 5-2 · 8TH IN BIG 12
5-2 · 8TH IN BIG 12
Next Game vs Arkansas-Pine Bluff · Sun 7:00PM
Jerome Tang asks K-State fans for extra support as Wildcats prepare for Iowa State ”We need your help”: Here’s the message from KSU coach Jerome Tang.
Keyontae Johnson - Relatively moderate production Johnson totaled 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 79-65 loss to Oklahoma.
Impact Johnson finished with a slightly below-average outing by his standards this season, logging fewer than five boards for the fifth time this season while also scoring below his season average for the fourth game in a row. The 6-foot-6 senior has been one of the Big 12's best fantasy players this season with 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. However, he's now averaged just 13.3 points and 5.5 boards across the last four contests. Johnson will look to regain his massively productive form during Saturday's home game against a defensive-minded Iowa State squad.

David N'Guessan - Limited to two minutes by illness N'Guessan finished Tuesday's 79-65 loss to Oklahoma with no counting stats across two minutes while playing with an illness.
Impact N'Guessan played just two minutes before being pulled for the remainder of Tuesday's blowout loss, as Wildcats coach Jerome Tang said the 6-foot-9 junior "was sick before the game," according to Zac Carlson of 247Sports. Tang added that N'Guessan was questionable to play pregame and decided to pull him after he "couldn't sprint back on defense." Kansas State's head coach did not elaborate further on the nature of N'Guessan's illness, leaving unclear if he'll be able to suit up Saturday against Iowa State.

Abayomi Iyiola - Logs 18 minutes in blowout loss Iyiola supplied 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 79-65 loss to Oklahoma.
Impact Iyiola played at least 18 minutes for the first time since moving back to a role off the bench over the last six games. The 6-foot-10 senior has now played 16 and 18 minutes across the last two games, though these have both come in eight and 14 points losses to Texas Tech and Oklahoma, respectively. Iyiola has averaged 15.3 minutes per game across the last four games, and he's averaging 6.5 points and 4.0 rebounds over that span.

Markquis Nowell - Inefficient in double-digit loss Nowell racked up 18 points (5-19 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists and four steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 71-63 loss to Texas Tech.
Impact Nowell posted logged 18 points for the second consecutive game, though this game in an extremely inefficient outing that included seven turnovers from the 5-foot-8 point guard. The senior has put up massive stats this season with 16.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 2.3 steals while playing 36.2 minutes per game. However, much of his scoring production has come from his consistent ability to get to the charity stripe (5.7 attempts per game), as he's only shot 39 percent from the field and 35.2 percent from beyond the three-point arc. Nowell has now committed 24 turnovers over his last four games, pushing his average up to 3.6 per game on the season. Nevertheless, his massive usage will still make Nowell one of the most prolific fantasy scorers in the entire Big 12.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin - Plays just 18 minutes Tomlin provided 10 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals over 18 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 71-63 loss to Texas Tech.
Impact Tomlin has been a significant contributor down low for Kansas State this season with 10.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals while playing 27.9 minutes per game over 25 starts. However, he's now played just 18 minutes in each of the Wildcats' past two games, accumulating 14 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals. It's likely not worth putting too much stock in these short outings, as they came in an 82-61 blowout loss to TCU followed by Saturday's game, which he fouled out of. Tomlin will look to stay on the court Tuesday against Oklahoma.

Tykei Greene - Nears double-double in blowout win Greene logged 13 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 82-61 win over TCU.
Impact Greene posted his most extensive outing of the season since early November. As a result, the senior reserve logged season highs in points and field-goal attempts. Across 23 appearances off the bench, Green has averaged 3.4 points and 1.9 boards while playing 11.1 minutes per game. It's likely he'll revert to his usual minimal role moving forward.
