Two of K-State coach Jerome Tang's top recruiting priorities in the offseason were 3-point shooters and size. These have not happened so far, although the defense was outstanding in the first half.

The Wildcats shot 36.7% at halftime but were just 4 of 18 from 3-point range and made 8 of 12 free throws. But they limited Fort Hays to 25.7% shooting and had five steals. But rebounding has been a problem as Fort Hays State has a 24-23 advantage on the boards and 9-6 on offense.

Individually, Coleman Hawkins led all scorers with 10 points for K-State, and CJ Jones had seven. Kyle Grill led Fort Hays with seven points.

K-State pulls away late in the half and takes the lead at halftime. Here are your halftime stats.

Since Brendan Hausen knocked down two 3-pointers early in the game, K-State is 0-12. Wildcats are 9 of 25 from the field, 2 of 14 from three and 6 of 10 from the free throw line. Fort Hays is 7 of 28 overall, 2 of 4 from three and made both free throws.

Coleman Hawkins' basket with 5:18 left in the half gave K-State a 26-16 lead and Fort Hays called a timeout.

Jerome Tang said this should be a good defensive K-State team and so far so good. But the offense hasn't really gotten going yet, as the Wildcats lead Fort Hays State 18-14 with 7:27 left in the half.
