Kansas State opened up a 15-point halftime lead, then pulled away in the second half to defeat Maryland-Eastern Shore 80-53 Friday night at Bramlage Coliseum. It was the season opener for both teams.
Kansas State was led by forward Wesley Iwundu with 23 points. Guards Justin Edwards and Barry Brown added 17 points each. Iwundu also led the Wildcats with 10 rebounds.
UMES was led by guard Devin Martin with 18 points, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range. Forward Bakari Copeland added 14 points.
K-State's lead never shrunk to single digits in the second half. A 12-1 run midway through the second half opened up a 69-46 lead and flushed away any doubt about the final outcome.
UMES led 9-5 early, thanks to seven points (one two treys and a free throw) by Martin. But K-State went on an 8-0 run to assume the lead, part of a 14-3 run to take a 19-12 lead midway through the first half. Kansas State continued to pull away, leading at intermission 35-21, its largest lead of the half.
K-State was led in the first half by Edwards and Iwundu with nine points each. Maryland-Eastern Shore was led by Martin and Copeland with seven points each.
