KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Rodney McGruder scored 24 points and sparked an 11-0
run in the second half, lifting No. 11 Kansas State past Texas 66-49 on Thursday
night in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.
An all-conference senior who ranks in the top 10 in 14 of Kansas State's
career categories, McGruder also had a team-leading seven rebounds as the
second-seeded Wildcats (26-6) whipped the Longhorns for the third time this
year.
Julien Lewis scored 13 points and Jonathan Holmes had 10 for Texas (16-17),
which trailed almost the entire game.
The Wildcats held a 43-36 lead midway through the second half when
McGruder's one-handed floater ignited the run that put the game out of reach. A
moment later, the 6-4 senior stole the ball at midcourt, drew a foul and then
connected on a 3-pointer over the Longhorns' zone defense. D.J. Johnson followed
with a dunk and McGruder added a pair of 3-pointers.
