Leading scorer LJ Cryer has missed the last three games with a recurring issue in his right foot, and Adam Flagler has a bruised knee. James Akinjo and Jeremy Sochan missed multiple games in this stretch. The 19-4 Bears play at Kansas State on Wednesday night. They are coming of their most lopsided loss in nearly three years, by 24 points at No. 8 Kansas
