The question is inescapable for the Kansas State men, especially now that they’ve won six straight games after downing No. 13 Arizona Tuesday evening: What switch has flipped that’s turned the Wildcats from looking like one of the worst teams in the country into what is statistically the best team in the nation over the last three weeks.

No one knows the full answer. In fact, head coach Jerome Tang has joked several times that if he and his staff knew exactly what’s led to the Wildcats’ recent uptick, they would’ve done it sooner.

Some of it’s fairly basic. K-State assembled a roster that most agreed was loaded with talent. They had one of the top transfer portal classes in the country. With 10 new players on the roster and only one returner with significant playing time from previous seasons, the Wildcats needed time to gel and now, roughly two and a half months into the season, it’s happened.

The Kansas State men are coming off a big win at home by eight over in-state rival Kansas and are looking at No. 13 Arizona, won by nine against No. 12 Texas Tech.

Both of these teams have the longest winning streaks in the Big 12, with Arizona winning six in a row and K-State with five.

Arizona is 11-1 in conference play and tied for first place with Houston and their lone loss was on the road to Texas Tech. Arizona’s overall record is 17-6 and they struggled in non-conference going 6-5 with losses to Wisconsin, Duke, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and UCLA.

Senior David N’Guessan led four Wildcats in double figures with 20 points, as Kansas State extended its winning streak to 5 games with a near wire-to-wire 81-73 win over No. 16/17 Kansas in the 303rd edition of the Dillons Sunflower Showdown before a sold-out crowd of 11,010 fans at Bramlage Coliseum.

K-State (12-11, 6-6 Big 12) led for more than 37 minutes, using an 18-5 run midway through the first half to assert control of the game en route to a 44-36 lead at the half. The lead grew to as many as 15 points in the second half, as the Wildcats earned their third consecutive win at home over the Jayhawks for the first time in more than 40 years since a 4-game streak from 1981-83.

The 5-game overall winning streak is the longest for K-State since a similar 5-game streak from Nov. 22 to Dec. 9, 2023, while it is the longest such streak in Big 12 play since a 5-game winning streak from Jan. 9 to Jan. 22, 2019.

N’Guessan posted consecutive 20-point games for the first time in his career, hitting on 9-of-13 field goals to go with a team-high 7 rebounds in 33 minutes. He was joined in double figures by junior Dug McDaniel (15 points) and seniors Coleman Hawkins (12 points) and Max Jones (12 points). McDaniel dished out a career-high 11 assists for his second career double-double.
