WATCH: Careless Wild Heave With Seconds Left on the Clock Gives Kansas Edge Past Baylor

It was their first Big 12 battle where a blunder became a deciding factor. The game between Kansas State and Baylor was much-anticipated as the Wildcats cemented their 13th victory on the road against the Bears in the Conference. But the moment Kansas traveled to Wako to take down No. 13 side, a recklessness became a major highlight.

Kansas State played without their notable center, Ayoka Lee who is suffering from an injury. As they swiftly came out with a 13-point deficit during the match, a minor mistake by Jada Walker became Baylor’s heartbreaking loss.

What did Jada Walker do?

Bella Fontrey and Edward scored 12 and 11 points respectively, to keep Baylor from getting edged by No. 4 opponent. However, the trio of the night – Eliza Maupin, Gabby Gregory, and Serena Sundell – managed to score an impressive 16 points each. As a result, the fourth-ranked Kansas State team extended their winning streak to 13 games by securing a 58-55 victory over the Bears.

Despite Baylor’s relentless efforts to establish a tie with Kansas in various ways, a momentary lack of care from Baylor resulted in an intriguing outcome of the game. In fact, with Baylor making a final attempt to tie the game with a shot, it was Jaelyn Glenn’s crucial block that ultimately put an end to the game.

Jada Walker, at the end of the 4th quarter, tried to attempt a buzzer beater when there were 2 minutes left, but she misunderstood that there was 1 second left in the cock. She was clearly unaware of her position and the time of the game, which is crucial to any player and ultimately cost her team a victory.
