Dug McDaniel scored 15 points as Kansas State snapped a six-game losing streak with a 73-60 win against No. 23 West Virginia on Saturday in Manhattan, Kan. David N'Guessan scored 14 points and Max Jones added 12 points for the Wildcats (8-11, 2-6 Big 12).

West Virginia looks to get back in the win column on Saturday night as they meet up with the Kansas State Wildcats. While K-State has dropped six straight, Darian DeVries is not taking this matchup lightly.

Kansas State basketball coach Jerome Tang knew that eventually the Wildcats needed a win to keep believing. Finally, things fell into place Saturday.

West Virginia fought back in the second half behind 22 points from Javon Small, but it wasn’t enough. K-State essentially clinched the game when Hawkins sent a terrific pass to N’Guessan for a dunk that gave the Wildcats a 62-42 lead with 5:41 remaining.

Kansas State had all the reason to feel down after enduring a six-game losing streak that lasted nearly a month. Things got better after Saturday's 73-60 victory against the West Virginia Mountaineers at Bramlage Coliseum.
