Maupin Confidently Rises to the Occasion

Here's the thing about Eliza Maupin: She doesn't know how good she can be. She's a 6-foot-3 ball of energy. She's arguably the most athletic player for No. 4 Kansas State. She has untapped potential. Oh, she had two double-doubles as a freshman last season. She scored 14 points at Oklahoma and scored at least 10 points in five others. This season, she's been limited in minutes while playing behind Ayoka Lee, sophomore Gisela Sanchez and redshirt freshman Imani Lester. But something happened on Monday night. Something magical.
