Kansas State basketball led by nine points in the second half, but again struggled down the stretch for its sixth straight loss.

Star performances from David N'Guessan and Dug McDaniel weren't enough to sustain the Wildcats' double-digit lead.

The addition of Ugonna Onyenso to the rotation is starting to pay dividends. Jerome Tang barely used the 7-foot Kentucky transfer at the beginning of Big 12 play, but his playing time is now on the rise. He played 13 minutes against the Bears and only contributed two rebounds.
