@KellisRobinett 8:37 p.m. K-State going with its normal starting lineup against OSU. Wildcats need a big game from Jordan Henriquez. Has to challenge Le'Bryan Nash.
8:38 p.m. K-State going with its home whites. Oklahoma State wearing the all-purpose orange. #UniformTweet
8:59 p.m. Another note from the "shambles" regular season: Men’s College Basketball – Most-Viewed Regular Season Ever on ESPN espnmediazone.com/us/press-relea…
9:05 p.m. Tip time at Sprint Center. Cowboys. Cats. Now. Here we go... @SarahCurlyHaira #okstate
9:09 p.m. #OKstate trying to make the Big 12 tourney title game for the first time since 2005.
9:09 p.m. Marcus Smart passes on the pregame handshake with Will Spradling during starting lineups. No love lost here.
9:13 p.m. Good contingent of Cowboys fans here. Still significantly outnumbered by the purple crew. #okstate
9:16 p.m. Marcus Smart just recorded his 93rd steal of the season. That's fourth all-time in Big 12 history. The record is 102.
9:16 p.m. Marcus Smart just recorded his 92rd steal of the season. That's fourth all-time in Big 12 history. The record is 102.
9:17 p.m. Marcus Smart just recorded his 92nd steal of the season. That's fourth all-time in Big 12 history. The record is 102.
9:18 p.m. #OKstate with four fouls and three turnovers before scoring a point.
9:18 p.m. K-State comes out very strong on defense. Oklahoma State is still scoreless 3:20 in.
9:20 p.m. Cats zone giving Cowboys fits. Haven't hit the rim yet. Here comes Forte. K-State up 5-0 four minutes in. #okstate
9:20 p.m. K-State takes a 5-0 lead at the first media timeout. Great start for the Wildcats. Oklahoma State hasn't even gotten a good look yet.
9:21 p.m. It's always awkward when #okstate fans have to continue standing through the first media timeout because nobody's scored...
9:22 p.m. No skunk. #okstate
9:23 p.m. Marcus Smart has the first #OKState points - and first field goal for either team. KSU leads 5-2.
9:25 p.m. Wow. Ford is heated with the #OKstate effort. Goes to the end of the bench and yanks Christien Sager to the scorer's table.
9:25 p.m. Christien Sager checking in. Ford sending a message. #okstate
9:26 p.m. K-State would be way ahead right now if Shane Southwell was making his shots.
9:27 p.m. Christien Sager going in. Hasn't gotten any minutes since two against TCU on Feb. 27. #okstate
9:28 p.m. Phil Forte with a big 3-pointer to pull #OKState to within 7-5. Timeout called with 11:58 left in the first half.
9:28 p.m. Cowboys sluggish, yet trail just 7-5, with Cats 1 of 10 from the floor. Ugly hoops. #okstate
9:29 p.m. This feels like a game that won't break into the 50's. Threes are going to feel like eight points.
9:29 p.m. Lets go Phil.
9:29 p.m. Cowboys just 2-8 (25%) from the field. Pokes still managing to out-shoot K-State, though. Wildcats just 1-10 from the field. #okstate
9:31 p.m. Good maturity by Nash there. Passed up his open three to get Smart a better one.
9:32 p.m. Smart again! #OKState has pulled ahead 11-7 now, about midway through the first half.
9:32 p.m. I can't name 5 basketball players I've watched play with the passion Marcus Smart does
9:34 p.m. Trainers working on Mike Cobbins at OSU's end of the floor. Looks like his shoulder may have popped out. Ouch. #okstate
9:36 p.m. Cowboys with some early foul issues. Brown and Nash both with two and on the bench. Cats lead 12-11. #okstate
9:37 p.m. Take care of em J Man. Get Cabo right!! Jason Miller / OSU Physician
9:38 p.m. Timeout on the floor with 7:55 left in the first half, #OKState leads Kansas State 13-12. Brown and Nash have both been called for 2 fouls.
9:38 p.m. #OKstate has avoided foul trouble the past few weeks. In it early tonight. Markel and Nash both with two already.
9:39 p.m. Oklahoma State leads K-State 13-12, but I'm guessing the Wildcats are OK with the score considering their shooting 16.7 percent.
9:40 p.m. And, of course, I mean they're not their.
9:40 p.m. Marcus Smart is the game's only player with more than one made FG. He's 3-5 for 8 points early inKC.
9:42 p.m. Cobbins back in. #okstate
9:43 p.m. Marcus Smart is on offensively tonight. Has 10 of #OKstate's 15 points on 4/6 shooting.
9:43 p.m. Sager don't mess around, homey.
9:44 p.m. Phil Jurick with more points than Nash, Brown, Cobbins and Forte combined right now. As expected.
9:47 p.m. Hey, a basketball game breaking out here. Flurry of points -- most by K-State -- has the Cats ahead 24-19 at the 3:07 mark. #okstate
9:47 p.m. Fun to watch K-State push the ball, take aggressive shots early into possessions. Wildcats on a 12-2 run, lead 24-19.
9:48 p.m. Brian Williams is fouled, bringing us to the final media timeout of the half. #OKState trails 24-19 with 3:07 left before halftime.
9:48 p.m. Worth pointing out that D.J. Johnson had an important steal during that spurt. The freshman forward is coming on for K-State.
9:50 p.m. Excellent analogy - RT @brettregan K-State's offense went from Madison Square Garden bad to late season good these last few minutes.
9:51 p.m. Brian makes both free throws, pulling #OKState back to within 3 of the Wildcats. 3 minutes left until halftime.
9:55 p.m. #OKstate down 28-23 to Kansas State at halftime. Marcus Smart keeping the Cowboys in it with 12 points.
9:57 p.m. K-State takes a 28-23 lead into the locker room despite shooting 32.3 percent. Le'Bryan Nash held scoreless after huge effort last week.
10:00 p.m. Cowboys trail 28-23 at the half. Both teams with ugly off. Cats shooting 31.3 pct, Pokes 32.1. Smart, 12 pts, trying to will it. #okstate
10:02 p.m. Coaches with the legendary Willie Nelson pic.twitter.com/Fyqq3UcTIp
10:02 p.m. #okstate and K-State are a combined 19-60, including 5-22 from three.
10:02 p.m. Just got home from Thunder game that was a blow out then we let them back in but held the off!!! TAS for second half of Pokes v K-State
10:08 p.m. Gotta be more than just Smart on offense in half #2. Markel/Nash, limited by foul trouble, are both still scoreless.
