With 1:41 left, the Wildcats had stretched the lead to almost 20 at 70-51.

Washington State scored the first nine points of the game and Kansas State spent most of the rest of the half playing catch-up.

The Wildcats controlled the defensive boards, yielding only one offensive rebound. Neither team could find the bucket in the first half, with Washington State shooting just 38 percent from the field and Kansas State going 35 percent from the floor.
