Jacob Pullen had 15 points and 10 assists, and No. 9 Kansas State pulled out of a first-half funk to turn an ugly game into a 68-51 rout over Colorado on Saturday night.
Kansas State (20-4, 7-3 Big 12) seemed out of sorts after a week off, fumbling and throwing the ball away most of the first half. The Wildcats pulled it together with an impressive run to start the second half and dominated the rest of the way to win their ninth straight over Colorado (11-13, 2-8).
Curtis Kelly had 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Jamar Samuels added 12 points to give Kansas State 20 wins in four straight seasons for the first time.
The Buffaloes were uncharacteristically loose with the ball in a sloppy first half and struggled defensively in the second to lose their 34th consecutive Big 12 road game.
