STARTING STRONG

The Bears are going for their 14th-straight season-opening victory on Monday. Baylor’s last season-opening loss was during the 2009-10 season to then-No. 9 Tennessee on the road, falling 74-65 when the Bears were ranked No. 7 to start that year. Baylor’s matchup with Southern marks the 14th-consecutive year the Bears are starting their season at home. Baylor has won 18-straight home openers, dating back to the 2005-06 campaign.



SEASONED SARAH

Sarah Andrews was a unanimous preseason All-Big 12 selection and brings back the most experience in a Baylor uniform as the only Bear to have played more than two seasons at BU. The two-time all-conference pick averaged a team-leading 14.7 points per game in 2022-23 and is just 11 points shy of 1,000 in her career. When she reaches this milestone, she will be the 39th player in program history to accomplish this feat.



PROMOTIONS

Monday’s season opener has been tabbed Camper Reunion Night and women’s basketball summer campers are invited back and get a free ticket if they come wearing their summer camp shirt.
