The Kansas State Wildcats are off to a 13-1 start under Jerome Tang, the best start for a first year head coach in Wildcats basketball history.
After a massive win against the Texas Longhorns in Austin, KState stays in the state of Texas and travels to Waco to battle the 19th ranked Baylor Bears.
The Wildcats have been led by a pair of seniors this season, with Markquis Nowell and Florida transfer Keyontae Johnson combing for 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists per night. Kansas State also boasts solid depth with Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Desi Sills, David N'Guessan, and Cam Carter all putting up at least 7 points per game as well.
Baylor is coming off of a heartbreaking loss to TCU in their last game, and looking to snap a two game losing streak. The Bears have senior point guard Adam Flagler, who was a vital piece of the national championship team, leading the backcourt. However, their top scorer and maybe most impressive player is true freshman Keyonte George, who average 16 points a night.
With a win, the Wildcats would have three consecutive wins against ranked opponents, and would skyrocket into the national Top 25 next week.
Coverage of the Kansas State Wildcats versus the Baylor Bears begins at 4 p.m. CT on Sunshine 98.9 FM, KQQF. Tipoff is scheduled for 5.
