Kansas State Wildcat news: Jerome Tang is 12-0 in OT, Tylor Perry drops 29 points

Jerome Tang is the king of overtime. In his first two seasons as a head coach, he is undefeated when his team reaches overtime. Tang and the Wildcats also set the NCAA record for most consecutive overtime wins in a single season with seven.

At this point, no team wants to go to overtime with Kansas State and Jerome Tang at the helm. Although, this game never should have gone to overtime. The Wildcats were up by 25 points with 13 minutes left in the second half and should have put the game away then. However, West Virginia went on a 31-9 run to end the second half and even took the lead. K-State had to claw thier way to overtime.

Tylor Perry had a career night as well scoring 29 points, the most he has ever scored in a Kansas State uniform. He was integral to Kansas State's success against West Virginia especially from behind the arc and from the free-throw line. Perry went 6 for 11 from behind the arc and 9 for 10 from the free throw line hitting crucial shots at the end of regulations and towards the end of overtime to seal the game.

This game was an important one for the Wildcats as every win counts more than ever if they want to have a shot at making it into the NCAA Tournament. If Kansas State can win two of their last three games, that would give them nine conference victories, giving them their best chance at a tournament appearance.
