Impact Pack came out firing early for the Wildcats. He was red hot from behind the arc and helped Kansas State take a 17-point lead over the Jayhawks.

Puts up 18 points in victory Pack logged 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 74-59 win over McNeese State.

Impact Pack and Markquis Nowell combined for 36 points in this contest. Pack came into the season as the primary point guard, but Nowell has seized a lot of the ball distribution duties which should allow Pack to focus on scoring going into Big 12 play. The sophomore is averaging 14.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 three-pointers, and 2.4 assists per contest.

Impact Pack did not start in his return last week from a concussion. He was inserted back into the starting five on Sunday and led his team in scoring. It wasn't his best shooting performance, but it's clear the Wildcats will lean on him going forward this season. McNeese State on Tuesday will be next.

Pack's 15 points spark Kansas State past Nebraska, 67-58

Nijel Pack scored 15 points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished five assists, sparking Kansas State to a 67-58 win over Nebraska

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • Associated Press

Back in starting five Pack is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Nebraska.

Impact Pack came off the bench last Sunday in his first game back from a concussion. The 6-0 sophomore had to sit out two games due to the injury and was on a restriction his last time on the floor. Pack shouldn't have any more restrictions moving forward. He was averaging 15.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.8 minutes per contest before the concussion.

Scores six off bench Pack (concussion) logged six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 15 minutes during Sunday's 82-64 win over Green Bay.

Impact Pack took on a bench role Sunday following his two-game absence due to a concussion, and his performance against Green Bay marked the first time this season that he didn't score in double figures. It was encouraging to see the sophomore back on the court Sunday, and he'll likely regain more playing time as his conditioning improves.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Sunday Pack is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Impact Pack was seen warming up and was expected to play but be limited in his return from a two-game absence due to a concussion. It'll be worth seeing how much head coach Bruce Weber ends up playing him and if he'll end up returning to the starting lineup next Sunday when the team travels to face Nebraska.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up early Pack (concussion) is on the floor warming up ahead of Sunday's game against Green Bay, Derek Young of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Pack is expected to return Sunday but be limited after missing the last two games due to a concussion. The 6-0 sophomore has been a vital player for the Wildcats this year, averaging 15.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.8 minutes per game. Even if limited, Pack's anticipated return to the floor should significantly help the team's offensive production.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be limited Sunday Coach Bruce Weber said Friday that he expects Pack (concussion) to play limited minutes against Green Bay on Sunday, Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact The sophomore guard has missed two consecutive games due to a concussion, but he is expected to return to action Sunday. Pack is averaging 15.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.8 minutes, so his presence -- even in a limited capacity -- will be a huge boost for Kansas State.
