Fans here in Manhattan are starting to gear up for football, but many of them kicked off their day by watching the K-State men’s basketball team scrimmage.
A decent crowd came out to Bramlage Coliseum early this morning to watch Curtis Kelly lead all Wildcat scorers with 10 points.
The UConn transfer looked very good following missed shots at the basket and showing off his post moves. He came on during the second segment of the scrimmage, where he scored all 10 of his points in a row for the gray team.
It was just one practice, and he only averaged 2 points a game at UConn, but if he brings that same effort to the court this year he will be a welcome addition to the Wildcats.
Other good performers at the scrimmage:
– Dominique Sutton scored eight points and looked very good attacking the basket. He threw down an impressive alley-oop dunk at the beginning of the scrimmage that brought the crowd to its feet.
– Jacob Pullen dropped in seven points and was taking most of the Wildcats’ outside shots.
– Denis Clemente pushed the ball very quickly up the court. You could always tell what team he was playing on, because that team was running much harder than the other.
– Wally Judge had a nice driving score early on, but didn’t do much after that. He came off the court at one point complaining about taking an elbow to the back. Maybe that had something to do with it.
– Rodney McGruder had six points and showed off his athleticism at times.
