Kaluma Leads KSU to Big Win
Arthur Kaluma registered 23 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds and three steals across 37 minutes during Saturday’s 65-58 win over Iowa State. Kaluma provided a huge effort on a day that was a must win for the Wildcats. The junior forward shot 66.7% from the field on 12 shots, converted on two of three from downtown and even matched a season-high with three steals while topping 20 points for the third time in conference play. The Wildcats probably need to win the Big 12 tournament to earn their way back into the NCAA tournament, where they made an Elite Eight run last year, and Kaluma will be relied upon to be one of the biggest contributors in pursuit of the improbable. He ends the regular season with averages of 14.8 points and 7.1 rebounds over 34.6 minutes per contest.
Hunter goes for Career-High 30 Points vs. Oklahoma
Tyrese Hunter finished Saturday’s 94-80 win over Oklahoma with 30 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), one rebound, seven assists and three steals over 37 minutes. Hunter accounted for a total of 46 points for the Longhorns, leading the way with a career-best 30 points to go along with seven assists. The junior point guard was a perfect 9-for-9 from the line, hit three of his four three-point attempts and shot 69.2% on 13 shots while adding three steals in what was a dominant effort on both sides of the ball. Hunter had scored fewer than 10 points in 10 of the previous 17 conference games, but closed the regular season by carrying the Longhorns and helping them build some major momentum heading into the conference tournament next week.
