After being sidelined from practice and organized competition for nearly a week, the Texas women’s basketball team scored a 59-48 victory against Kansas State on Sunday.

WACO, Texas (AP) NaLyssa Smith put No. 7 Baylor ahead to stay with a nifty score off the opening tipoff. The standout forward went on to lead her team in scoring again, and had quite a defensive performance against the best player for Texas.
Smith finished with 14 points, while Moon Ursin and Queen Egbo had double-doubles, and the Big 12-leading Lady Bears won 60-35 on Sunday, holding Texas to its second-fewest points ever in a game.
Texas was held to single-digit scoring in the first three quarters and Charli Collier, the potential No. 1 overall WNBA pick who entered the game averaging 22.3 points and 12.8 rebounds, was held to two points on 1-of-3 shooting and five rebounds before fouling out.
The Texas women’s basketball team bounced back after last week’s loss against then-No. 21 West Virginia on Wednesday night with a convincing 64-53 win over Oklahoma State.
