MANHATTAN, Kansas – For the first time this season, (25/rv) Kansas State suffered consecutive losses in league play as (2/2) Baylor downed the Wildcats on Wednesday night, 91-49.

Baylor (20-1, 9-0) was led by senior Alexis Prince with a game-high 25 points on 11-of-16 shooting. Joining Prince in double figures was freshman post Lauren Cox with 19 points off the bench.
Kansas State tied its season-high with nine blocked shots, but Baylor still shot 50.0 percent (36-of-72) from the field. The Wildcats were only able to convert at 26.5 percent (13-of-49).
Baylor dashed out to a 21-point lead, 28-7, at the end of the first quarter. The Lady Bears used a 21-0 run midway through the quarter to build the advantage. Lauren Cox came off the bench to score seven points during the run, while Prince added six.
The seven points were the fewest points K-State has scored in a quarter this season and the 28 points allowed were the most by a K-State opponent in any quarter this season.
Prince continued her hot shooting into the second quarter, as she tallied six of Baylor's first eight points to extend the Lady Bears' lead to 36-9 with 4:52 left in the second quarter. Baylor would hold a 44-14 lead at the half. The 14 first half points were the fewest by the Wildcats since Jan. 14, 2015 at Oklahoma State when K-State scored 13 first half points.
Kansas State shot 17.9 percent (5-of-28) from the field in the opening half, while Baylor tallied a 48.6 percent (17-of-35) effort. K-State was forced into 11 turnovers which resulted in a 15-2 edge in points off turnovers by the Lady Bears.
After a pair of single-digit scoring quarters in the first half, K-State tallied 22 points in the third quarter. Middlebrook tallied 11 of K-State's 22 points in the quarter. The Lady Bears notched 25 points in the third quarter to build a 69-36 lead entering the fourth frame.
Baylor used an 18-3 run to start the fourth quarter on its way toward the final margin. K-State was able to cobble together a 9-2 rally at the end of the final stanza.
