On what Kansas State did in the first meeting (a 75-59 loss) that other teams haven’t …

“They took us out to the woodshed. They whipped us. Simple as that. They physically dominated the game, and they physically dominated us, on the glass, in all aspects of the game. It was a butt-whupping.

On if that result makes it easier not to peek ahead to Saturday’s game at Kansas …

“I don’t think this team has done that at all, all year. I think this team has been focused on the task at hand, and I’m real proud at how they’ve stayed focused. We understand this. There’s no doubt that K-State can come in here and whip up just like they whipped us in Manhattan if we’re not ready to play. We’ve got to be ready to play, and it’s going to take a yeomen’s effort for us to beat K-State, even in our own house. They’re that type of team that can really take us out and be very physical with us.”
