K-State basketball will look to bounce back in the second game of the year, as Casey Alexander and the Wildcats will host Cal State Northridge on Friday night at Bramlage Coliseum.

The Wildcats lost their season-opener on Tuesday to South Dakota State, 68-66. K-State had multiple opportunities in the final 30 seconds to tie the game, but missed a couple shots.

Alexander's teams rely heavily on the three-point shot, but the Wildcats hit only 8 of 28 from deep.

Leading the way for the Wildcats was Papa N'Diaye, who finished with 18 points and eight rebounds. Isaiah Abraham and Brandon Rechsteiner both had 16 in the game, with Rechsteiner hitting four 3-pointers.
