Syracuse too much for WVU
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kirk Hinrich shot 10-for-10 from the foul line and scored 26 points Monday night as No.2 Kansas beat Kansas State 98-71 in a game marred by four technical fouls and the ejection of Wildcats coach Jim Wooldridge.
Jeff Boschee added 16 points, and Nick Collison and Drew Gooden each had 15 for Kansas (20-2, 9-0 Big 12), which clinched its 13th consecutive 20-win season. The Jayhawks won for the 19th straight time in Manhattan and have never lost in Bramlage Coliseum, the Wildcats' home since 1988.
Kansas State's last home victory over the Jayhawks came on Jan. 29, 1983, in Ahearn Fieldhouse, and the Wildcats last beat Kansas — then ranked No.1 — 68-64 on Jan. 17, 1994 in Lawrence.
Kansas State (9-11, 3-6), which upset then-No.9 Oklahoma State 70-61 on Saturday, has never beaten two Top 10 teams in a row.
