Ayoka Lee had 17 points and 10 rebounds in her return to the lineup, and fifth-seeded Kansas State beat Fairfield 85-41 on Friday in the first round of the NCAA women's tournament. Lee went 7 for 10 from the field in her first game since she played just four minutes in a 90-60 victory over Kansas on Feb.

Kansas State immediately opened up Friday afternoon finding star center Ayoka Lee for the first basket of the game. That pretty much set the tone for the Wildcats' victory over Fairfield, fueling their blowout victory in Lee's first game in nearly a month.
