Clemente hit a pair of three-balls, sandwiched by two free throws from Thompson, to close out the half and give the Wildcats a 41-25 lead after 20 minutes.

Kansas State continued to front-run in the second half and extended its lead to 26 points with a 10-0 run, finished on a Luis Colon layup, for a 64-38 lead with just over 11 minutes to play.

The Mean Green tried to get back into the game and cut their deficit to 14 as Thompson's three-ball made it a 69-55 game with 5 1/2 minutes to play.

The Wildcats, though, got consecutive baskets from Kelly, followed by a slam from Sutton and two from the line by Clemente to seal the victory.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
