COL BKB: Baylor 75, Kansas State 73

MANHATTAN, Kan., Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Baylor's Quincy Acy stole the ball and scored on back-to-back plays Tuesday and the No. 4 Bears stayed unbeaten with a 75-73 win over No. 18 Kansas State.

Acy's heroics sparked a 7-0 run in the closing minutes that broke open a close game and proved just enough to hand a victory to Baylor (16-0, 3-0 Big 12).

Acy finished with 13 points, and Perry Jones III added 17 to go with eight rebounds for the Bears.

Rodney McGruder (30 points) pulled the Wildcats to within a point on a layup with 2 minutes remaining, but Kansas State (12-2, 1-1) could get no closer thanks to turnovers on each of its next two possessions.

The Wildcats, meanwhile, saw their 14-game home winning streak come to an end.
