(k-state) Nijel Pack’s layup with 1:13 remaining proved to be the game-winner, as Kansas State held No. 23/22 Texas scoreless in the last 3:31 of the game en route to posting a 66-65 win over the Longhorns Tuesday night.
K-State was led offensively by Mark Smith, who finished with a team-high 22 points on 9-of-14 field goals, including 2-of-5 from 3-point range, to go with game-tying 8 rebounds.
He was joined in double figures by Nijel Pack, who registered double figures for the 14th time in 15 games played with 16 points, and senior Mike McGuirl, who had 13 points off the bench.
Kansas State hosts Kansas Saturday afternoon.
