K-State Sports
MANHATTAN – Despite cold temperatures and an impending winter storm outside, K-State was on fire inside Bramlage Coliseum on Wednesday night as the Wildcats secured a season split for the second straight season against Baylor with an 87-68 win.
K-State (15-11, 4-9 Big 12) shot a season-high 60.4 percent (29-of-48) from the field which included a 71.4 percent (20-of-28) performance on two-point field goals and 45.0 percent (9-of-20) from three-point range.
K-State’s 60.4 percent effort from the field was its highest field goal percentage since carding a 64.9 percent performance against Incarnate Word on Dec. 3, 2019. It was the highest K-State field goal percentage in a Big 12 game since Feb. 11, 2015, against TCU, when the Wildcats shot 63.5 percent.
The 87 points by the Wildcats were the second-most points K-State has scored against Baylor (16-9, 7-6) in the history of the series, trailing the highwater mark of 89 on Jan. 5, 2002.
The Wildcats featured four players in double figures and were led by 2022-23 Drysdale Award candidate Gabby Gregory with her second double-double of the season with 26 points on 8-of-13 shooting and 7-of-8 from the foul line and 10 rebounds. Gregory, recently named a candidate for the Staley Award, completed her stat line with three assists, a steal and a block.
Joining Gregory in double digits was the sophomore trio of Serena Sundell, Brylee Glenn and Jaelyn Glenn. Sundell carded 20 points on 6-of-9 shooting, six assists and five steals.
Brylee Glenn tallied 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting, five rebounds and three assists, while Jaelyn Glenn finished with 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, six rebounds, four steals and three assists.
