The No. 14 Kansas State Wildcats overcame a prolonged drought late in the first half to upend the No. 9 Baylor Bears Tuesday evening in Bramlage Coliseum, 75-65. With the win K-State (21-7, 9-6 Big 12) completed its first season sweep of any team in the league. Fitting—and perhaps, for Coach Tang, a little bittersweet—that the accomplishment should come against Baylor (20-8, 9-6), his former team, and Head Coach Scott Drew, his mentor.
Both games between these teams were highly competitive, and both featured transcendent play from K-State’s two senior stars. Marquis Nowell connected with Keyontae Johnson for a lob and layup to open K-State’s scoring in the game.
