Baylor Volleyball Opens Second Half of Big 12 at Kansas State

Baylor volleyball (18-6, 6-2) kicks of the second half of the double round-robin conference schedule, trekking north to face the Kansas State Wildcats (16-6, 5-4), on Saturday evening at 7 p.m. in Ahearn Field House.

With a firm hold on the third-place spot in the conference standings, the Bears can continue to create separation from the middle of the pack, with the Wildcats checking in at No. 4 in the current conference standings.

Baylor swept KSU earlier this season, with the Wildcats ranked at No. 23 in the country at the time.

The Wildcats still represent a significant opportunity for BU’s postseason hopes, with the Wildcats holding the second-highest RPI ranking in the conference at No. 17.

Kansas State carries a 27-15 all-time series lead heading into the weekend match, including a 16-5 margin in Manhattan.
