FROM KSTATESPORTS.COM - All five starters scored in double figures, including a career-best 36 points from senior Markquis Nowell, as Kansas State broke the school record for points in a 116-103 victory at No. 6/6 Texas on Tuesday night to hand the Longhorns their first loss in the brand-new Moody Center before a sold-out crowd of 10,763 fans.
 
The point total not only broke the school record, but it also tied the Big 12 record for most points scored in a conference game, as Baylor scored 116 in a win at Texas A&M on Jan. 23, 2008.
 
The 116 points eclipsed the previous mark of 115, which first came against Delaware State on Dec. 7, 1991, then again vs. Fresno State in the NIT on March 24, 1994. It was also the most-ever in a road game, surpassing the 108 at Iowa State on Jan. 29, 1975, while it was most in a conference game, topping the 114 scored against Nebraska at home on Jan. 10, 1987, and the most in a Big 12 game, surpassing the 111 vs. Missouri at home on Jan. 3, 1998
 
According to ESPN Stats & Info, K-State's 116 points marked the most by an unranked team in a win over a top-10 opponent since Missouri scored 119 against Iowa State in 1988.
 
Nowell led a tremendous all-around effort by the Wildcats, who connected on 61 percent (36-of-59) from the field, including 56.5 percent (13-of-23) from 3-point range, and set a school-record by hitting on 93.9 percent (31-of-33) of their attempts from the free throw line. It marked the first time the team has shot better than 60 percent against a Big 12 opponent since 2018, while the 13 treys tied for the sixth-most made in a conference game.
 
Nowell nearly became the first player in school history with a 30-point, 10-assist game, as he dished out a game-high 9 assists to go with 3 steals in 38 minutes. His 36 points came on 9-of-14 field goals, including 6-of-9 from 3-point range, and a perfect 12-of-12 effort from the free throw line. It was the seventh-most points by a Wildcat in a Big 12 game and the most since Barry Brown, Jr., scored 38 points vs. Oklahoma State on Jan. 10, 2018.
 
Nowell was joined in double figures by senior Keyontae Johnson, who tied his career-high with 28 points to go with a near double-double himself with a game-high 9 rebounds and 5 assists, along with a career-best 17 points from sophomore Cam Carter, as well as 11 and 10 points, respectively from junior Nae'Qwan Tomlin and senior Abayomi Iyiola. All eight players who saw action on the night scored at least 2 points.
 
The victory was the second straight over a Top 25 opponent, including the first over a Top 10 team on the road since knocking off No. 2 Baylor, 56-54, in Waco, Texas on Feb. 4, 2017.
 
K-State's winning streak is now 7 games, which is the longest since also winning 7 games from Nov. 30-Dec. 30, 2016. The Wildcats (13-1, 2-0 Big 12) continued their best start to a season since 2009-10, while they opened league play 2-0 for the first time since 2013-14.
 
Texas (12-2, 1-1 Big 12) became just the 17th team to score 100 points against K-State, posting 103 on 51.5 percent (35-of-68) shooting, including 40.7 percent (11-of-27) from 3-point range, while knocking down 84.6 percent (22-of-26) from the line. Three Longhorns scored in double figures led by the tandem of graduate Marcus Carr (29 points) and sophomore Tyrese Hunter (27 points), who combined for 56 points on 18-of-33 shooting, including 9-of-19 from 3-point range, and a perfect 11-of-11 effort from the free throw line.
 
The victory was the second consecutive in Austin, as K-State handed Texas its first loss in the last season of the Frank Erwin Center and the first loss in the Moody Center.
