Arizona rolls through Kansas State in a statement win at home.
It seems each game the Arizona Wildcats are sending a message to the college basketball world. That message is they are here to play and not messing around. Statement win after statement win, the brakes have not been put on for one second.
The Wildcats size and athleticism in the paint creates so many mismatches for teams. That is exactly what it did for the Kansas State defense, not being able to find the right combination all game, allowed Arizona to dominate the paint and take advantage.
Senior guard, who's name we have said time and time again is Brayden Burries. Burries led the charge with 28 points going 12-of-16 from the field and collecting nine rebounds.
Burries had two key, very physical dunks in the game that kept momentum going and got the crowd on their feet.
Motiejus Krivas had his best performance of his career in the game as well with a double-double. Krivas had a career high 25 points and led the team in rebounds with 12.
Krivas and Burries were an unstoppable duo, stretching Kansas State defense and forcing rotations that opened up space for their teammates.
The freshman that is catching every NBA scout's eye right now, put on a show as well.
Koa Peat got himself a double-double putting up 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats. Peat did a great job creating second chance opportunities, and fastbreak plays.
There was a 23-rebound margin in this game, the Wildcats literally owned the glass.
Have to give Kansas State credit, they did show up and compete. Not going down without a fight if you must.
Mid way through the second half Kansas State was able to trim the lead to 58-49. That would be as close as it would get though.
After the comeback attempt the Wildcats went on a 6-0 run and another 13-0 run late in the game.
For the second game in a row Arizona shot 50-percent from the field and made 30 free throws.
Kansas State shot a mere 33-percent and shot 8-36 from three-point range.
The Arizona Wildcats continue their historical run and stay undefeated with a 101-76 domination at home against Kansas State.
Arizona goes to 15-0 on the season and 2-0 in conference play now.
