Haggerty overcomes early slump, K-State fends off scare from Louisiana-Monroe 94-85

PJ Haggerty scored 24 points, 23 coming in the second half shooting 3 of 8 from three, Nate Johnson scored 14 points and knocked down four threes, Elias Rapieque recorded six assists and Kansas State men’s basketball closed its non-conference slate with a 94-85 win over Louisiana-Monroe.

It was a slow start, but Haggerty found his rhythm.

Haggerty, the Wildcats’ leading scorer, entered the contest averaging 22.8 points per game, but scored just one point in the first half after shooting 0-7 from the floor in the opening 12 minutes of play.

It was Haggerty who led an 11-3 K-State run scoring nine points in the opening three minutes of the second half. The 23-point total scored in the second half against the Warhawks is the most by any player for K-State in a single half this season. He finished the game shooting 7 of 16 from the floor.
