Senior forward David N’Guessan spent much of his Tuesday night glued to the K-State bench due to foul trouble in their First Round matchup with Arizona State. N’Guessan only played 17 minutes in that contest, recording just 5 points and 4 rebounds, but was much more productive Wednesday.

N’Guessan, a forward who was spent the past three years at K-State, scored 20 points and he was far and away the best offensive weapon on his team. He also grabbed 10 rebounds for a double-double. Hawkins, a transfer from Illinois, was held to five points.

Fully adorned with “XII” symbols, the court has been panned as headache-inducing, although the Big 12’s commissioner said players approved of the “aspirational” design.
