Freshman guard Marcus Foster came into the game leading K-State in scoring with an average of nearly 17 points a game. Foster failed to find the same success yesterday morning. The talented freshman finished with 11 points but only connected on one of his eight at- tempts from behind the arc. Foster was not the only one who struggled shooting the deep ball for K-State. As a team, the Wildcats finished 5-26 from downtown. Seniors Southwell and Will Spradling combined for 1-12 from long range. K-State will need bigger contributions from their seniors in order to have success this season. The only member of the team to find his range yesterday morning was freshman guard Nigel Johnson. Despite having missed his first seven attempted three- point shots this season, Johnson connected on three of six from downtown, leading K-State in scoring on the day, finishing with 14 points. “I thought Nigel [Johnson] did a great job of giving us a boost both halves,” Weber said. “He played with a lot of confidence, which was positive and allows us to put [Will] Spradling at the two and allows him to get some things done also.” Leading the way for Charlotte on the day was sophomore center Mike Thorne Jr. Thorne finished with a team high 16 points and 11 rebounds, ultimately exploiting K-State’s lack of size in the front court. The other 49er to finish with a double-double was sophomore forward Willie Clayton, chipping in 10 points and rebounds. “We want to get Willie [Clay- Emily DeShazer | Collegian ton] and Mike [Thorne Jr.] in- K-State freshman guard Nigel Johnson looks to pass against Long Beach State junior guard A.J.
