K-State Scares (4/4) Baylor on Wednesday
Jan 09, 2019 | Women's Basketball
WACO, Texas – Facing its fifth Associated Press top-25 opponent this season, Kansas State looked to spring the upset but (4/4) Baylor defended the Ferrell Center with a 65-50 win on Wednesday night.
Baylor (12-1, 2-0 Big 12) used a 10-0 run midway through the opening quarter to capture a 16-7 lead. Peyton Williams ended the run with her second jumper of the quarter and Kayla Goth added a pair of free throws to bring K-State into a seven-point deficit, 18-11, at the end of the first quarter.
Kansas State (10-5, 1-2) was strong in the second quarter and kept the matchup close, as Baylor led 34-25 at halftime. K-State narrowed the deficit in the quarter to four, as Goth buried a jumper and Jasauen Beard finished a reverse layup through contact following a Baylor layup. The Lady Bears would score the final five points of the frame to hold the nine-point lead.
In the third quarter, K-State started the first six minutes by outscoring Baylor 14-6 and to pull within one, 40-39, with 4:39 remaining in the quarter. Williams opened the quarter with a 3-pointer and then finished an acrobatic layup later in the frame. K-State pulled within one, as Christianna Carr buried a 3-pointer.
K-State took a brief lead, as Goth converted a jumper just outside the lane, 42-41, with 3:03 remaining in the third quarter. The Lady Bears then went on a 7-0 run to build a 48-42 lead with 1:26 to play and force a K-State timeout.
Entering the fourth quarter, Baylor led K-State, 50-42. Williams started the final quarter with a three-pointer to pull K-State within five, 50-45. Baylor then used an 8-0 run to build a 13-point advantage, 58-45, with 6:13 to play.
Rachel Ranke buried a three-pointer with 4:27 remaining to bring K-State within eight, 58-50, but Baylor kept K-State at arm's length with seven points to build the lead to the final margin.
K-State end the night shooting 32.1 percent (18-of-56) from the field. The Wildcats attempted a season-high 26 three-pointers and found the mark on seven (.269). Baylor shot 46.0 percent (29-of-63), but were held without a 3-point field goal. The Lady Bears registered a 52-16 advantage in points in the paint.
Williams led K-State with her eighth double-double of the season with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Kansas State begins a two-game home stand on Sunday with the Dillons Sunflower Showdown against Kansas. Game time for the 120th meeting in the series is set for 12 p.m.
At halftime of Sunday's game, Kansas State will honor the career of former All-American and Wildcat great Brittany Chambers with a jersey retirement ceremony.
Sunday's game will be broadcast on FSN and available on the K-State Sports Network and for free at kstatesports.com.
