Three mornings ago, the Kansas State Wildcats tennis squad was mired in last place in the Big 12, without a single conference win to their name.
Now they cannot finish any worse than eighth after their second straight rout. In their home finale, the Wildcats (12-9, 2-6) dispatched Iowa State (5-10, 1-6) 6-1 on Sunday to secure their second win in a row and — thanks to West Virginia’s loss at Kansas on Sunday — permanently escape the Big 12 cellar.
Although K-State sits in seventh place now, Baylor (1-5 in conference play) has two matches in hand over the Cats, and they’re against West Virginia and Iowa State.
