MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Rodney McGruder scored all but two of his 28 points in the second half. He hit five 3-pointers, three in the closing minutes. The senior almost single-handedly willed No. 25 Kansas State to a 73-67 victory over No. 22 Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Then he went home to relax.
And then he got called back to Bramlage Coliseum.
Apparently, there was some demand to talk to the biggest reason why the Wildcats started off their Big 12 schedule with an important home win over one of the league's other top teams.
"I got all the way home," McGruder said sheepishly. "I was talking to my dad."
That's totally adorable, right there.
