Kansas State women's basketball could be receiving a massive reinforcement, just in time for the NCAA Tournament.

 

Senior forward Ayoka Lee has not suited up for the Wildcats in two months after suffering a fracture in her foot. Since the injury, KSU has fallen from 19-1 to 26-7 entering the tournament.

 

Lee has been practicing with the team this week, and is on track to play when the team battles No. 12 seed Fairfield on Friday in the opening round.

 

The senior is one of the best players in program history, averaging 15.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game this season. Lee holds program records in points, rebounds, blocks, double-doubles, and field goals made. She also holds the NCAA record for most points in a single game, with 61 scored in a game against Oklahoma in 2022.
