K-State beat Iowa State before almost 11,000 disappointed Cyclones fans. Iowa State star guard Lyndsey Medders (not to be confused with former Iowa star guard Lindsey Meder) racked up 30, but didn't get much help.

The young 'Cats saw their lead shrink late, but held on thanks to Claire Coggins' hot outside shooting and double figures from some frosh. KSU coach Patterson: "This is an extremely tough place to play... Our team stepped up and refused to let momentum shift.”

ISU coach Fennelly: "You can't win with two players, and you can't win when you can't rebound."

The Big XII standings get weirder all the time: Courtney Paris Oklahoma on top and unbeaten, then Mizzou, and then a four-way tie among K-State, historically terrible Texas A&M, historically really good Texas, and the defending national champions. Fans crunch RPI numbers and discuss.
