Wade leads Kansas State to 78-66 win over Iowa State
Dean Wade nearly grabbed a triple-double in Kansas State's 78-66 victory over Iowa State.
"We were in the same situation last week, against Texas Tech," Kansas State head coach Bruce Weber said. "I said to the guys during halftime, `What's your dreams? What're your goals and what's your vision? Don't let them (Iowa State) take that from you."
Wade shot 9 of 13 for 22 points while grabbing eight rebounds and collecting nine assists.
"I think I played well," Wade said. "My teammates played great and that allowed me to play well. I was feeding off of their energy. It was an overall good game for us."
After a deadlocked 33-33 halftime score, the Wildcats (19-8, 8-6 Big 12 Conference) exploded for 45 second-half points on 17-of-29 shooting. Joining Wade in double-figure scoring was Barry Brown, who scored 16 second-half points for a total of 20, and Xavier Sneed, who scored 17 points on seven shots.
"It is tough when we are all scoring for a team to adjust. They cannot just help off one man and leave another one open," Brown said.
"We had X (Xavier Sneed) hitting threes. I even hit a few. When we are all attacking and making the right read and finding the right person it is tough to scout."
After a slow start, Iowa State (13-13, 4-10) managed to get the game close and tied it several times but could not ever capture the lead.
Cameron Lard scored 15 points on 7-of-12 shooting for the Cyclones.
BIG PICTURE
Kansas State: The win against Iowa State pushes the Wildcats to 19 wins and they are two wins away from matching last season's win total.
