MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) -Jessica Morrow scored 16 points and helped key a 17-2 second-half run that vaulted No. 6 Baylor past No. 18 Kansas State 63-49 Saturday, stretching the Lady Bears' winning streak to 13 games in a row.
Rachel Allison had 15 points for Baylor (20-1, 8-0 Big 12), which matched its longest Big 12 winning streak.
The loss stopped a 10-game winning streak for the Wildcats (15-6, 7-1), their longest in four years. Kansas State trailed by as many as 13 in the first half but got it to 38-35 on Shalee Lehning's bucket right after intermission.
But Kansas State then went almost 11 minutes without a basket and wound up with its lowest point total since a 68-56 loss to Wisconsin-Green Bay on Dec. 5.
Morrow hit a shot, then canned a 3-pointer to help get the take-charge spree under way. After Morrow's bucket made it 49-37, Allison rebounded Marlies Gipson's miss and converted it on the other end with a 12-footer for a 51-37 lead.
Angela Tisdale drove in for a basket and then hit a pair of free throws before Kimberly Dietz finally ended Kansas State's drought with a long 3-pointer.
But by then, the Lady Bears held a commanding 55-40 lead with 7:40 to go.
In the first half, Baylor's Jhasmin Player scored on a fast break but landed hard face-down on the court and stayed there while trainers and coach Kim Mulkey knelt over her. Finally, she got up and trotted gingerly into the locker room but did not return.
Gipson had 14 points for Kansas State and Dietz 13.
