Last year, just three games into her Kansas State career, Zyanna Walker came off the bench and was charged with defending Caitlin Clark. Walker, a redshirt freshman from Wichita and the No. 15 overall player in the Class of 2022 by Prep Girls Hoops, helped hold Clark to 9-of-32 shooting from the floor in 37 minutes, while Walker scored 12 points to help the Wildcats to a 65-58 win at No. 4 Iowa in Iowa City.
