MANHATTAN, Kan. — Odyssey Sims scored 40 points, Sune Agbuke had 16 points and 14 rebounds, and No. 9 Baylor beat Kansas State 92-63 on Thursday night.

Sims shot 12 for 19 from the field and 12 for 16 on free throws as the Lady Bears (11-1, 1-0 Big 12) won their 50th straight league game.

Ashia Woods scored a career-high 27 points to lead Kansas State (6-6, 0-1), and Leticia Romero added 20 points and five rebounds.

Sims, who came in averaging just over 30 points per game, scored 15 in the first half points on 5-for-7 shooting.

Two free throws from Woods cut the Bears’ lead to 15-10 with 13:13 left in the first half and that was as close as the Wildcats got the rest of the way.

Baylor began the day second in the nation in scoring at 99.2 points per game, trailing only Oregon’s 105.3.

Woods and Romero kept the Wildcats within breathing distance in the first half, scoring nine points apiece.

Sims was even stronger in the second half. The senior stymied the Wildcats with 25 second-half points including a final 3-pointer to stretch the lead to 30 points with 1:52 left in the game.

Sims finished seven points short of her career high, set earlier this season against Kentucky.

Baylor beat Kansas State for the 17th straight time since the Wildcats’ last win in the series on Jan. 27, 2004.
