Ayoka Lee, the 14th-ranked Wildcats’ leading scorer and rebounder, has been sidelined since Jan. 19 when she suffered a fracture in her foot against Arizona State. However, Mittie said he’s still hopeful Lee will play Saturday when K-State hosts rival Kansas.

“There’s been nothing that would indicate anything differently than that,” he said.
