McLemore lifts KU past K-State in tight 59 55 win at Bramlage
Kansas University grinded out a 59-55 victory over Kansas State at Bramlage Coliseum. Freshman Ben McLemore sat most of the first half due to foul trouble yet sparked the rally with two key defensive plays in a 14-second span. Perry Ellis and Nandir Tharpe provided late punch as KU extended its win streak to 16. Gipson's pump fakes troubled Jeff Withey, but McLemore flashed untapped potential with clean steals and decisive finishes.
