K-State women light up Cincinnati in Big 12 Tourney win

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A record-breaking offensive explosion led the Kansas State women to a blowout win over Cincinnati in the opening round of the Big 12 Tournament on Wednesday afternoon at the T-Mobile Center.

A school-record 17 Wildcat 3-pointers powered the 12th-seeded Wildcats over No. 13 Cincinnati 91-66. The 17 three pointers broke the Big 12 tournament record, topping Iowa State’s 14 in 2008, and tied the school record set earlier this season versus Columbia in Cancun.

The win advances the Wildcats to a second-round matchup versus fifth-seed Texas Tech on Thursday.

Jordan Speiser and Taryn Sides both had 20 points in the win.

K-State will advance on to play fifth-seeded and 21st-ranked Texas Tech (25-6, 7-2 Big 12) on Wednesday. The Wildcats beat Tech in Lubbock, 65-59, back on Jan. 17.

Tip-off is scheduled for 11 a.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPN+ and on News Radio KMAN and Sunny 102.5 FM. Pregame coverage begins at 10:30 a.m.
