Jacob Everse Pullen (born November 10, 1989 in Maywood, Illinois[1]) is an American college basketball player, currently a guard playing for the Kansas State Wildcats.[2]
In his college debut against Sacramento State, Pullen scored 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting and ended up scoring in double figures in eight of his first ten games. He has been a large part of Kansas State's renewed success over the last few years. As a freshman, he was one of just three players who appeared in all 33 games. Alongside Michael Beasley, he helped upset #2 Kansas with a season-high 20 points, going 10-for-10 from the free throw line.
In the 2008–09 season, Pullen was one of only two players to start all 34 games for the Wildcats (Luis Colon was the other). He notched his career best of 39 points against Texas on January 31, 2009. He recorded at least one steal in 27 games that season and had at least one three-pointer in 29 games.[3]
Pullen continued his strong play into 2010, leading Kansas State to a 26–6 overall record (11–5, Big 12) thus far in his junior season, with wins at Dayton, at UNLV, at Alabama, against Xavier, and against then undefeated, number 1-ranked Texas.
