KSU’s Wecker has her way on her day

? Kendra Wecker did it all on her own special day.

Wecker had 23 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists to lead No. 10 Kansas State over No. 11 Colorado, 79-53, in women’s basketball Sunday.

She also scored her 1,500th career point. And she did it all in a game given the distinction Kendra Wecker Day by the university.

“I seem to play pretty well on my day,” said Wecker, who has had double-doubles on all three of the Kendra Wecker days. “I thought everyone played awesome today.”

Kansas State (17-3, 8-1 Big 12) never trailed and added to a 49-32 halftime lead to win its 29th straight home game.

“I would consider having every day be called Kendra Wecker Day,” Kansas State coach Deb Patterson.

With the win, Kansas State passed Colorado (18-3 overall, 7-2 Big 12 Conference) in the standings and remained a half-game behind conference leader Texas.

The Wildcats went on a 12-2 run immediately after the break and held Colorado without a basket for eight minutes to put the game out of reach.

No. 9 Texas Tech 62,

No. 17 Baylor 59
