MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - David Hoskins and Lance Harris led a second-half comeback and Kansas State erased an 11-point deficit Wednesday to beat Baylor 69-60 and keep the Bears winless on the road for more than two years.
The Wildcats, after shooting 55 percent the first half, missed their first 15 shots of the second half while Henry Dugat and Aaron Bruce led an 12-1 run to turn a 39-39 halftime tie into a 51-40 lead for Baylor.
Then the Wildcats (12-6, 2-2 Big 12), who have had trouble scoring throughout Bob Huggins' first year as coach, canned six of their next seven from the field and finally went ahead 59-58 on Cartier Martin's 3-pointer with 5:07 left.
After Aaron Bruce drew nothing but air on a 3-point attempt, Hoskins hit a free throw and rebounded Bruce's miss and Harris went in for a layup and a 62-58 Wildcats' advantage.
The Bears (11-6, 1-3) got only two points and five rebounds from Kevin Rogers, their 6-9 sophomore who had been averaging 16.7 points and 9.7 rebounds in Big 12 play. He fouled out with 3:15 left as the Bears lost for the 31st time in their last 33 true road games, a streak that dates back to Dec. 30, 2004. Baylor has lost 19 straight Big 12 road games.
Harris had 18 points for Kansas State, Martin had 15, Hoskins 13 and Clent Stewart 12, including a contested layup that put Kansas State on top 65-60.
Dugat had 15 and Bruce 13 for Baylor.
