The Kansas State women’s basketball team was no match for West Virginia when they first met two months ago, but the Wildcats have since avenged that loss and then some.
No. 5 seed K-State defeated No. 4 seed West Virginia 72-59 to advance to the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City, where it will face top-seeded Baylor at 2 p.m. Sunday.
The Mountaineers handled the Wildcats 60-30 in their first meeting, and then K-State tripled its point production in a 90-79 victory last month. The Wildcats won the rubber match Saturday, strengthening their already solid NCAA Tournament hopes.
