Whatever she had for her pregame meal, she needs to have before EVERY game. 61 points is unconscionable. She out scored a few teams today.She ate two bowls of Wheaties this morning?
That’s what makes it so amazing. She didn’t play the whole game. She’s got a master’s degree in pinning her man on her hip on the block. Her guards were feeding her like a baby all day with good entry passes, and she converted them into points. A tip ‘o the turban to Ayoka Lee. Job well done!!She is just amazing, 23-30 FGs and 15-17 FTs in 35 mins.
And the opponent is #14 Oklahoma, not a low rank team.
NC State held her to 19 points when they played the Wildcats on November 19th. Lee was 9 of 18 from the field and grabbed 11 rebounds.Hopefully there is a replay of this game on YouTube. I have only seen a few of Kansas State games this season and other than that South Carolina game, this young lady plays like Shaq. She is unstoppable!
Kansas State visits Texas on Wednesday. Unlike OU, Texas actually prides itself in playing defense. While Texas doesn't have any ONE player to match up with Ayoka Lee (other than Lauren Ebo who is a bit smaller), I think we can make it much more difficult on KSU's guards trying to get the ball inside to Lee. Lee will probably still score over 20 points (unless she gets into foul trouble) because she is that good and efficient if she gets the ball 2 feet from the basket.Honestly, I felt like I was watching Wilt Chamberlain just score at will on helpless defenders when he was at Kansas. (or in the NBA, for that matter).
Only other Wildcat scored in double figures, but the rest of the starters consists of one junior (like Lee) and three freshmen. Watch out Baylor and Texas.
She broke the previous record by 1 point. I’m going to step as far out on a limb as I can, and predict that she just set a record that will never be broken, because the record she set was done without shooting (or making) any 3 point baskets. Look at how long Nykesha Sales’ UConn single game record of 46 points has stood, since December of 1997.Just saw she has never attempted a 3pt shot this year. Now that is refreshing.
Or it can be an illustration on how not to defend the postKanas State center Ayoka Lee sets NCAA women's basketball record with 61-point game in win over No. 14 Oklahoma.
At times Oklahoma was double teaming her. It didn't do any good. How frustrating THAT must have been.
Lee scored most of her 61 points from under the basket. IT CAN BE DONE!!! This game was an illustration of how to feed your big on the block with good entry passes.
K-State's Lee scores NCAA women's record 61

im a big fan. I just dont know why you dont go zone at some point if ur oklahoma. amazing accomplishment tho
The Sales record only stands because of Geno. There have been a few chances to break it, but Geno removed the would be record breaker before they could do it. Maya and KLS come to mind, perhaps there are others, that could have broken that record, but by the time a player gets to 40 or so points to threaten that record, Geno would rather remove and rest them.She broke the previous record by 1 point.

The oddity in that stat line to me, zero assists in 35 minutes of play. Scoring 61 points would require one never choose to pass once you get it.She bested the scoring record by 1 point! Crazy stat line too!

In the position she caught the ball there was no need to pass to anyone, that is how good the passes were. I have liked Lee since she was a freshman.The oddity in that stat line to me, zero assists in 35 minutes of play. Scoring 61 points would require one never choose to pass once you get it.
K State's guards are nowhere near as talented as Paige, yet they get Lee the ball where she can easily score. That's why I don't agree that UConn needs Paige and Ono to in order to feed the post. If UConn's bigs could receive the ball where Lee received, they would be much more effective than they are, imo. The guards need to do a better job of feeding the post.That’s what makes it so amazing. She didn’t play the whole game. She’s got a master’s degree in pinning her man on her hip on the block.

Agreed. Lee, like Boston, does not shy away from contact in the paint. Lee is solid. I've noticed ONO's willingness to endure contact lately. If you're going to shoot in the paint, you're going to get plenty of contact and body fouls. It goes with the territory. UConn's guards could do a much better job of getting ONO or Juhasz the ball on the block where they want it.K State's guards are nowhere near as talented as Paige, yet they get Lee the ball where she can easily score.
