Luke Adams, a 5-foot-9-freshman, scored 15 points for the Red Raiders (7-16, 0-11).
Offense was a challenge for both teams, especially in the first half. Kansas State shot 6 of 26 (23.1 percent) in the half but led 31-17 at the break. Midway through the first half, there was a stretch of more than five minutes where neither team scored.
