Game notes:
• Baylor returns home against New Orleans at 2 p.m. on Black Friday, playing the Privateers for the sixth time.
• Friday’s game is the first 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 remainder of the non-conference slate is packed full of promotions, including: Fan Appreciation Night on Friday, the annual Holiday Hoops game against UNLV on Dec. 8 and Future Bears Day, held for the first time at Foster Pavilion, against Utah Tech on Dec. 18.
• BU has outscored their opponents 140-82 in the second quarter and 146-82 in the fourth quarter this season.
• Two losses in seven games matches the slowest start for the Bears in the Nicki Collen era (2022-23), leading to just the 10th poll without Baylor in the AP Top-25 in the previous 378 polls.
• New Orleans leads the all-time series record against the Bears, 3-2, with all three wins coming in or before the 1992 season.
• BU defeated New Orleans in the first season under Nicki Collen, 78-39, in the Ferrell Center.
• The Privateers are winless thus far in 2024, starting 0-6 in head coach Trelanne Powell’s second season at the helm. Facing two Big 12 programs, New Orleans lost to TCU 107-52 and Texas Tech 78-70.
• Redshirt junior Jayla Kimbrough is the only Privateer that averages 10+ points per game with 13, highlighted with a 19-point output against Texas Tech.
• Center Nora Francois leads the rebounds tally with 50 on the season, 13 off the offensive glass.
• Yaya Felder was named to the All-Tournament Team with 42 points in the three games, averaging 14 per game.
• Shooting lights-out from three, Felder’s 69.2% from behind the arc ranked first in the tournament, going 9-for-13. Nine threes was third behind Ball State’s Madelyn Bischoff (13) and Columbia’s Riley Weiss (10).
• Felder had a big day in the Bears’ loss to the Hoosiers, scoring 20, her Baylor-high and most since ending her career at Ohio with five-straight games at 20+ points. The senior joins six others in posting 20+ points at the Battle 4 Atlantis.
• Five threes against Indiana tied for the best single-game performance in the tournament from deep, ending as one of five with five threes made in a game.
• Baylor went 2-1 over three days in the 2024 Battle 4 Atlantis for third place in the eight-team tournament, defeating Southern Miss and Villanova with a loss to Indiana.
• The Bears clinched third place with a 73-62 win over the Villanova Wildcats on Monday evening. In the game, BU had its best shooting performance of the year at 58.7% going 27-for-47, led by Aaronette Vonleh having an 8-for-11 night in the paint to total 19, the best of her early Baylor career.
• Villanova started at a perfect 6-for-6 from three but the Bears surged late to outscore the Wildcats 20-9 in the fourth quarter. It was the first time in over a year that BU allowed 10+ 3-pointers in a game (last vs. Harvard on Nov. 19, 2023)
• Taking the second loss of the season to an unranked team, Indiana defeated BU, 73-65, in the semifinal round. Baylor matched its worst shooting performance of the then-six-game season at 33.3% but suffered after going 16-for-26 from the charity stripe.
• Indiana had a strong first quarter that produced a 17-0 run with nine points in the quarter from Shay Ciezki on the way to 34 points on the afternoon.
• Baylor opened the tournament with a dominant 101-55 win over Southern Miss in just the third 100+ point game of Collen’s stint with the Bears. BU tied the No. 2 mark in program history for the most 3-pointers game at 15 (record of 17 was set against McNeese in Nov. 2023). Six Bears lent a hand from deep, as Bella Fontleroy and Sarah Andrews each had four, Yaya Felder had three, Waiata Jennings had two and Darianna Littlepage-Buggs and Jada Walker each had one.
• Five players put double figures on the Lady Eagles.
