Manhattan, Kan. ? It wasn?t just Missouri?s first loss of the season that had coach Frank Haith so upset. It was the way in which it happened to the Tigers.
?As a coach, what you really hate is to get your butt kicked,? Haith said. ?They were tougher. They kicked our butt.?
Kansas State ran into little resistance in a 75-59 win over the Tigers, leading by at least a dozen for the game?s final 27 minutes on Saturday.
For Missouri (14-1, 1-1), it was eye-opening to see an offense that came in averaging a Big 12-best 86.2 points shoot 32.7 percent from the floor.
?We weren?t able to make our cuts freely, so we couldn?t get guys open,? said Tigers guard Marcus Denmon, who led his team with 17 points.
Rodney McGruder led K-State (12-2, 1-1 Big 12) with 20 points. Will Spradling had 14 for the Wildcats, and Jordan Henriquez added 10 points and eight rebounds.
Michael Dixon scored 16 and Matt Pressey had 11 for Missouri, which struggled in a conference road atmosphere according to Haith.
?We turned it over on three of our first four possessions,? he said. ?We don?t turn it over much, but we were gambling with passes.?
