How major Illinois teams fared in weekend play--MICentralSports.com

No. 22 Kansas State 77, Western Illinois 64

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Kansas State could easily have two losses in its first three games. Freshman Michael Beasley is the reason the Wildcats are still undefeated.

Beasley scored 23 of his 28 points in the second half and had 22 rebounds, lifting No. 22 Kansas State out of a sloppy first half to a 77-64 victory over Western Illinois on Saturday night.

Kansas State (3-0) was ranked in the preseason Top 25 (25th) for the first time since 1975-76, its first ranking of any kind since 1993, and moved up to 22nd based on a pair of wins the first week. But the Wildcats are young, with three freshmen starting, and have been inconsistent even in winning.

The Wildcats opened with an easy win over Sacramento State, then struggled for a 10-point victory over Division II Pittsburgh State on Sunday, allowing the Gorillas to go on a 15-0 run to start the second half.

Kansas State had the same kind of trouble with Western Illinois (1-2), a team that's won only four of its 54 road games in four-plus years under coach Derek Thomas and was picked to finish eighth in the new Summit Conference.

Western Illinois (1-2), a team that’s won only four of its 54 road games in four-plus years under coach Derek Thomas, capitalized on K-State’s sloppy ball handling and defensive breakdowns to pull to 28-2.
