Manhattan, KS (SportsNetwork.com) - Nino Williams posted 18 points and seven rebounds, as Kansas State edged No. 22 Baylor thanks to a second-half surge, 63-61, at Bramlage Coliseum.

Marcus Foster added 11 points for the Wildcats (11-7, 4-1 Big 12), winners of four straight games thanks to shooting 50 percent (23-of-46) from the field.

Kenny Chery poured in a game-high 21 points -- but his runner as time expired failed to fall -- and Taurean Price added 20 for the Bears (13-4, 2-3), who have dropped three of their last five.

Chery kept his team close in the late stages. He capped a three-point play on a free throw with 5.4 seconds remaining and Baylor got within 62-61, but Thomas Gipson was fouled on the next possession and split a pair from the line to give the Bears one last chance with 4.8 showing.

Chery got the ball and had a lane up the middle, but his attempt which would have sent the game into overtime did not go through.

Baylor jumped out to an early 13-2 lead thanks to five points each from Chery and Johnathan Motley, and when Chery connected again from long distance, the lead stood at 22-8 with 9:50 left in the first half.

K-State was down 24-10 a short time later but managed to pull within two after a Foster triple capped a run of 12 straight points. However, a three by Chery extended Baylor's edge to 33-24 at the break.

Rico Gathers converted a three-point play with 11:27 to go and the Bears had a 49-37 lead, but K-State began to chip away. The Wildcats assumed their first lead of the contest on two free throws by Justin Edwards with 6:24 on the clock, and Edwards added a jumper less than a minute later to raise the edge to three.

Baylor responded twice to tie before Nigel Johnson connected from beyond the arc for a 59-56 game inside of four minutes left. Prince followed with a bucket before Williams struck back for the hosts and Johnson made 1-of-2 from the line for a 62-58 K-State edge.
