The No. 13 Arizona Wildcats ran into a buzzsaw on Tuesday. Winners of five straight games coming into the night, Kansas State bullied Arizona from start to fin

K-State won its sixth straight game, and continued its late-season push toward the NCAA Tournament, by handing Arizona its first loss since Jan. 18. After a dismal start to the season, no team in the conference has won more consecutive games than the one that wears lavender uniforms.

Kansas State point guard Dug McDaniel led the homecourt Wildcats with 24 points. K-State shot 45.2% while scoring 23 points off 16 UA turnovers. Arizona shot 41.3% overall and kept in the game largely because of its 45-33 rebounding advantage.
