Kansas State basketball vs New Orleans live score updates: Wildcats open season at home

MANHATTAN — The wait is over and Kansas State basketball officially gets its 2024-25 season underway tonight against New Orleans at Bramlage Coliseum.

It will be the Wildcats’ third season under coach Jerome Tang, who has restocked the roster with nine Division I and one junior college transfer, plus a freshman and a walk-on to go with three returning players from last year’s 19-15 team.

The Wildcats played their lone exhibition game last week at Bramlage against Fort Hays State, beating the Division II Tigers, 70-56. They were led in that game by guard Brendan Hausen’s 15 points, all on 3-pointers, and forward Coleman Hawkins with 13 points, seven rebounds and six assists.

Tang started Hawkins, Hausen, returning super-senior forward David N’Guessan, point guard C.J. Jones and forward Achor Achor against Fort Hays State. Jones had nine points and five assists, while N’Guessan scored 10 points with nine rebounds.

Tang said Monday that senior guard Max Jones, who missed the exhibition with a toe injury, should be available for the opener.

New Orleans, which went 10-23 last year, has a new coach in Stacy Hollowell.
