The Bears began the week with a huge road win against a Kansas State team that was coming off of a win over #1 Oklahoma. Baylor was without Rico Gathers in this game but several guys stepped up in a big way offensively to carry the load in the 82-72 victory. Scott Drew's squad has had a tendency to come out of the gates slowly but Baylor jumped out to a quick 25-11 lead and never trailed. The Wildcats certainly made a few runs to get close, but the Bears had the answer each and every time. Al Freeman had his best game since conference play began with 21 points on 6-7 shooting and Taurean Prince added 18 on 6-8 shooting.
