Martin lifts K-State past Mizzou

? Cartier Martin scored 20, and David Hoskins broke out of a three-game scoring slump with 18, leading Kansas State to a 79-64 victory over Missouri on Saturday.

Hoskins had been held to a total of eight points in the Wildcats’ previous three games.

Dramane Diarra had a career-high 13 rebounds for Kansas State (12-4 overall, 3-2 Big 12 Conference), which won its third straight – the Wildcats’ first three-game conference winning streak since the Big 12 was formed in 1996-97. They last had won three consecutive conference games in January 1996, in the last Big Eight season.

Missouri (10-6, 3-2) lost to Kansas State for the third time in a row, something the Tigers hadn’t done since dropping four straight from 1974 to 1975. The Wildcats evened the series, which dates to 1907, at 111 victories each.

Missouri’s Thomas Gardner, who scored 40 in Monday’s 89-86 overtime victory over Kansas University, had 21 points Saturday, but was held to six points in the first half.

Gardner missed his first three shots, all from long range, and didn’t score until he was fouled on a three-point try with just under 81â2 minutes left in the first half and hit all three of his foul shots. His first field goal, on a drive along the baseline, came with 5:11 to go in the half.
