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.
Along with backcourt mate Denis Clemente, Pullen has received many accolades for his part in the turnaround in K-State's basketball fortunes in recent years.
