Hawkins scores 26 as No. 10 seed K-State beats No. 15 seed Arizona State 71-66 in Big 12 tourney

Coleman Hawkins had a season-best 26 points, leading No. 10 seed Kansas State past No. 15 seed Arizona State 71-66 in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament on Tuesday night

MARCH 12 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Season-high 26 points in win Hawkins ended Tuesday's 71-66 win over Arizona State with 26 points (10-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes.

Impact Hawkins connected on 4-of-9 from deep en route to a season-high 26 points while finishing just two rebounds shy of his third double-double of the campaign. The senior forward who was one of the highest-profile players to hit the portal last offseason has had a solid-if-unspectacular season for the Wildcats and recently missed three games due to a knee injury. However, he was at his best Tuesday and will look to lead Kansas State as they hope to continue their season by taking down a fading Baylor squad on Wednesday.

Nine points, eight boards in return Hawkins supplied nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 54-49 victory over Cincinnati.

Impact It was a modest offensive output for Hawkins in a game that saw barely over 100 combined points scored, but they key takeaway here is that the 6-10 senior is back after three games on the sidelines with a knee injury. Kansas State is well outside the NCAA Tournament bubble, however, but the Wildcats will have a resume-building opportunity at home Saturday against Iowa State before moving on to the Big 12 tournament.
