In Manhattan, Kansas, Ayoka Lee delivered a night for the ages, erupting for 61 points to lead Kansas State Wildcats to a 94–65 victory over Oklahoma Sooners. Lee's outburst didn't just tilt the game; it rewrote the NCAA record book. Her 61 points established a new NCAA Division I women's single-game scoring record, surpassing a mark that had stood for decades. Possession after possession, Lee asserted complete control in the paint, combining power, touch, and footwork in a display that left defenses scrambling and history vulnerable. More than a gaudy number, the performance underscored a shift in how dominance could look in the modern women's game. Lee's night was equal parts physical authority and refined skill, a reminder that elite interior scoring still has the power to define eras. Years from now, January 23 will be remembered as the day one player stretched the limits of scoring excellence and permanently altered the statistical ceiling of Division I women's basketball.
