Game notes
• Baylor faces UNLV at 2 p.m. on Sunday for the first time ever in Waco and the first matchup since the 1988 season.
• Foster Pavilion will host Holiday Hoops for the first time on Sunday, with a Teddy Bear Toss at halftime benefiting the Baylor Scott & White McLane Children's Medical Center in Temple.
• The Baylor Cub Club will also host its annual Cub Christmas Party, where Cub Club members get free admission and a chance to join in a festive celebration all around the concourse. Parents must purchase tickets at the ticket window on the day of the game.
• Sunday’s game is the fourth of a five-game homestand that will wrap up non-conference play before the Big 12 slate kicks off at Kansas on Dec. 21. The Bears will also enter the break for finals, given Dec. 12-17 at Baylor, not playing again until Dec. 18.
• In the Texas Southern game, Baylor was one of three Big 12 teams (first since 2011) and one of 13 teams nationally since at least 1999-00 to hold an opponent to a .000 3-point shooting percentage with the opponent taking at least 21 3-pointers.
• UNLV is off to a 6-2 start to the 2024-25 season, with a win over Big 12 foe UCF, 71-52.
• The Lady Rebels’ two losses came against Arizona and No. 9 Oklahoma, on the road at home, respectively.
• Amarachi Kimspon is the leading scorer for UNLV, averaging 13 points per game with a season-high 19 against Northern Arizona.
• Meadow Roland leads the Lady Rebels off the glass with 7.9 rebounds per game. The Fresno native had a double-double against Loyola Marymount with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
• Baylor last held Texas Southern to just 29 points, the third sub-30 point effort by an opponent in the Nicki Collen era, at 12-of-19 (.174) from the floor. 17.4% was the worst shooting performance by a Baylor opponent since playing McNeese in Dec. 2020. The Tigers sunk only four field goals per quarter through the third, and was 0-of-16 from the floor in the fourth with just two free throws.
• It was the first time in the Collen era that BU did not allow a 3-pointer.
• BU won the game by 72 points, the biggest win since an 80-point defeat of McNeese last November.
