KEY STORYLINES

• K-State faces a veteran South Dakota State team, which enters the season as the preseason favorites in the Summit League after returning 7 lettermen, including 3 starters, from a team that won 19 games and placed second in 2022-23. All 3 returning starters earned Preseason All-Summit League honors, including the favorite for Player of the Year Zeke Mayo, who played at Lawrence High School in Lawrence, Kan., and is averaging 28 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.
• The Jackrabbits have made 11 trips to the postseason since 2012, including NCAA Tournament appearances in 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2022.
• K-State earned its first win of the season on Friday night with a hard-fought 83-75 win over a pesky Bellarmine squad in the home opener before nearly 10,000 fans. The Wildcats led by as many as 19 points, including with 2:11 remaining, before the Knights gave the home crowd some anxious moments with a 10-4 rally to close the gap to single digits with under a minute.              
• Senior Tylor Perry led four Wildcats in double figures with a game-high 18 points, including 4 free throws in the waning seconds to close out the victory. Perry ranks second in the Big 12 in scoring at 20 points per game, but he is shooting just 33.3 percent (9-of-of-27), including 38.1 percent (8-of-21) from 3-point range. He entered the 2023-24 season with a career 43.1 field goal percentage. He was joined in double figures by a career-tying 17 points from junior Cam Carter as well as 12 points each from freshman Dai Dai Ames and junior Arthur Kaluma, which earned their first double-digit scoring games as Wildcats.
• Perry showed off his scoring ability vs. USC (11/6/23), posting a team-high 22 points to go along with team-highs in both assists (6) and steals (4). He missed his first 8 attempts before hitting an acrobatic 3-pointer right before halftime. He made 5 of his last 9 attempts to collect the most points by a newcomer in a debut since Michael Beasley scored 32 points in 2007.
• Carter has impressed with his ability to score in the early going, following his 15-point effort in the loss to No. 21/22 USC (11/6/23) by tying his career-high with 17 points in the win over Bellarmine on Friday night. He went 7-of-14 from the field, including 5-of-7 inside the 3-point arc with a pair of dunks, while he collected a career-best 4 steals in a team-high 34 minutes.
• Ames enjoyed a solid first game at Bramlage Coliseum, scoring 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting with a game-tying 6 assists and 3 steals in 26 minutes off the bench. The 12 points were the most a Wildcat freshman in his first home game since Jacob Pullen scored 18 in 2007.

NOTES ON SOUTH DAKOTA STATE (1-1)

• South Dakota State (1-1) has not played since an 83-55 win over Dakota Wesleyan on Wednesday night at home in Brookings, S.D. The Jackrabbits opened the year with an 81-75 loss to Akron on Monday, Nov. 6. This will be SDSU’s first road game of the year.
• South Dakota State is averaging 79 points per game on 48.4 percent shooting, including 37.5 percent from 3-point range, while allowing just 68 points on 34.8 percent shooting, including 28.4 percent from long range. The Jackrabbits are shooting 70.4 percent from the free throw line. They are also averaging 43 rebounds per game with 5 players averaging 4 or more boards.
• The Jackrabbits are led by Preseason Summit League Player of the Year and junior guard Zeke Mayo, who paces the squad in scoring at 28 points per game on 60 percent shooting. He is one of three players averaging in double figures along with sophomore William Kyle III (16.5 ppg.) and senior Luke Appel (11.5 ppg.). Kyle averages a team-best 8.0 rebounds per game, while Mayo is second at 7.5 boards per game.
