MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) Nae'Qwan Tomlin scored 26 points and grabbed nine rebounds, Keyontae Johnson added 16 points and seven rebounds and Kansas State Wildcats held off Radford Highlanders 73-65 on Wednesday for its fifth straight win.

Kansas State was ahead by 17 points with 4:04 left before Radford scored 13 of the next 15 to get within 71-65. Johnson sealed it with two free throws at 20.4.
