Kansas State has won eight of their last nine games since switching to the triangle offense.

The move was made for several reasons, including the departure of forwards Wally Judge and Freddy Asprilla, but more than anything, the triangle, made famous by former Kansas State coaches Tex Winter and Jack Hartman, emphasized the team’s unique skill set.

The offense encourages ball movement and it opens driving lanes for senior guard Jacob Pullen.

Pullen has gone on a scoring tear, averaging 25.5 points during the nine-game stretch, and K-State’s big men, especially Curtis Kelly, have benefited from passing out of double teams in the post.

“Our offense is so spread out that it allows the big post at the rim to have more room to work,” Kelly said. “Then also when help comes, you can kick it (outside). … Somebody is going to be open because we’re spread out so far from each other.”
