It’s hard to win when you don’t work as a unit and post 14 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact Okla. State found out the hard way on Tuesday.

Despite their defeat, Kansas State saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Tylor Perry, who scored 23 points along with five rebounds, was perhaps the best of all.

Less helpful for Kansas State was Cam Carter’s abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.
The Cowboys’ loss was their fifth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 9-12.
