But they never could get the lead. We came out a lot harder in the second half. We didn't have enough defense on the ball. Part of the problem is that Siebrandt, Atchison, point guard Larry Reid and Richie Terry all are making the transition to Division I basketball. Everything is a step up on offense.
Every possession has to be a war.
Siebrandt led K-State with 20 points. He made eight of 11 free throws. Reid, Atchison and Howell also scored in double figures. The All Stars were led by Staples with 22 points. K-State opens its regular season against Texas San Antonio at 7 p.m. Saturday at Bramlage.
