K-State came into the Coors Event Center with four straight wins over the Buffaloes. The first half was not the kind of play by the Wildcats that would help them to their fifth straight victory. Even with 11 turnovers committed by Colorado, K-State shot an ugly 7 of 29 from the field. The team’s leading scorer was also sophomore forward Jordan Henriquez-Roberts with five.
Junior forward Jamar Samuels picked up three fouls, while senior forward Curtis Kelly and senior guard Jacob Pullen picked up two. Head coach Frank Martin didn’t seem pleased with the first half performance.
Early in the half, Kelly called a timeout after having trouble with putting the ball in bounds. The players trotted over to the bench and Martin gave the team a big scowl – not speaking a word to any of the players. The star watch for the game was not as expected at first. Pullen only had three points while Colorado’s Alec Burks was held to just two.
