Coming off two straight losses, there was some concern about Kansas State’s ability to stay competitive in the very tough Big 12. And the visiting Kansas Jayhawks had some upsets already this season. But tonight was the Wildcats night in Bramlage, as K-State pulled off a tough and impressive 69-61 victory to improve to 14-4, and 4-2 in Big 12 play. Ayoka Lee again notched a double-double, her 12th of the season and 41st of her career, with 25 points and 15 rebounds (both were game highs). She was joined in double figures by Serena Sundell with 15 and Jaelyn Glenn with 10 points
K-State was headed for an easy blowout victory, as the Wildcats held a 16-point advantage in the middle of the 4th quarter, but a 19-3 run by the Jayhawks (11-3, 2-3) pulled the game to a 57-57 tie, and it was a back-and forth game until Ayoka Lee woke back up and scored six of K-State’s next eight points to re-gain the advantage, a lead they would not relinquish.
