MANHATTAN, Kan. — Jay Jay Chandler and Savion Flagg scored 14 points each and Texas A&M withstood a three-point barrage from Kansas State’s Nijel Pack in the second half to win 68-61, the Aggies’ first win at Manhattan.
Pack, a freshman point guard playing in his second game after missing four because of COVID-19 protocols, made eight 3-pointers, going 7 of 9 from the arc in the second half on his way to a career-high 26 points. His only two-point field goal, a floater with 2:12 left, put the Wildcats up three.
But Kansas State struggled thereafter with Texas A&M’s pressure in losing its eighth straight.
Kansas State will travel to Lawrence for the Sunflower showdown versus Kansas. The game begins at 7 p.m. on Tuesday night.
