MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) --- AJ Staton-McCray and Elijah Fisher scored 16 points
apiece, and Seton Hall built a double-digit lead early in the second half to
cruise past Kansas State 78-67 on Saturday in a rare matchup.
Adam Clark scored five points and Fisher added four as Seton Hall closed the
first half on a 9-3 surge for a 35-29 halftime advantage. The Pirates opened
the second half on a 22-6 run and led 51-35.
K-State pulled within 62-54 with about six minutes left but didn't get closer.
Staton-McCray was just 3 of 15 from the floor but made all nine of his
free-throw attempts. Fisher was 5-of-9 shooting. Najai Hines added 11 points
and Clark finished with 10 for Seton Hall (9-1).
Khamari McGriff scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds for Kansas State
(5-4), which shot 37% (23 of 62) and missed 20 of its 35 free-throw attempts.
The Wildcats have lost four straight.
Seton Hall earned a 34-29 win over K-State on Dec. 30, 1940 in the only
previous meeting. The win was in the midst of the Pirates' program-record
41-game winning streak that spanned 1939-41.

Seton Hall will look to extend a four-game win streak with a home game against
