Kansas State Shocks #2 Baylor in Waco
Kansas State needed a win to get the season back on track. The Wildcats ended a 3-game losing skid with a 56-54 victory at #2 ranked Baylor.
The victory is the highest ranked team the Wildcats have ever beaten on the road. The win sets up a monster home game against the birds on Monday night in Manhattan.
For the first time since I can remember, Kansas State got off to a great start.
The Wildcats opened in a zone and promptly gave up a 3 on the first defensive possession.
Then Dean Wade showed he ate his Wheaties.
He hit a couple of early shots, grabbed a rebound and had 9 early points to give the Wildcats a lead. He had scored only 7 points in the previous 3 games.
