Game 485 - Oklahoma at Kansas State

January 16 at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, KS
ESPNU

We finally got to see Trae Young play and the Oklahoma freshman had his worst game as a collegiate. Harassed all game by multiple defenders, Young turned the ball over 12 (!) times in an 87-69 loss for the Associated Press No. 4 Sooners.

Young still scored 20 points, though it came on 21 shots (and he was 2-of-10 from three-point range), and handed out six assists. The guard remains the country's leader in scoring (29.5) & assists (9.8).

Young, who tonight reached the 500-point mark in a ridiculous 17 career games, was featured coming into the night, especially considering he was three days removed from a 43-11-7 performance against TCU, but the host Wildcats turned into the main story.

KSU shot 73% (19-of-26) from the field in the second half (and had 12 assists on those 19 made baskets), including 10-of-11 at one point, to pull away. Fantastic games for Barry Brown (24 points, 10-of-17 from the field) and Dean Wade (16 of 21 points in the second half to go along with seven assists), who each overshadowed Young.
