  *   Baylor defeated Houston, 92-47, on Wednesday evening at the Fertitta Center in the second of two-straight dominant performances for the Bears.
  *   The 45-point win matches the biggest margin for a Collen squad over a Big 12 team with a February 9, 2022, defeat of Kansas State at the Ferrell Center, 95-50.
  *   BU moves to 19-5 on the season, one win away from continuing the second-longest active streak of 20-win seasons. Baylor currently has 24 and is behind UConn’s 32.
  *   The Bears shot 57.8% from the floor, their second-best shooting performance of the 2024-25 campaign with a 45.8% look from the arc.
  *   11 made threes marks BU’s eighth game with double-digit three pointers, led by Sarah Andrews and Yaya Felder combining for six.
  *   Andrews was 3-of-5 from three with four rebounds, her best boards mark since last playing Houston where she tabbed six. She also had three steals and two assists.
  *   Felder matched Andrews at 3-of-5 from the arc but paired those with a pair of layups and free throws for 15 points on the night. Felder matched a season-high assist total at eight with two steals.
  *   Darianna Littlepage-Buggs scored her 1,000th career point within 17 seconds of the game starting, becoming the sixth active roster member in the 1k Club.
  *   Nearly having a 20-piece, Littlepage-Buggs ended the evening with 16 points and a career-high six assists. Shy of a double-double, she had seven rebounds and made her eighth career three in her third-straight game connecting from behind the arc.
  *   Jada Walker scored 14 with a pair from deep with five assists.
  *   Getting her footing later in the first half, Aaronette Vonleh was held to 12 points, her fewest in three games, with three rebounds and three assists.
  *   Aliyah Matharu continues to make an impact for the green and gold, starting her first streak with double-digit points as a Bear with 11 points tonight.
  *   Kayla Nelms had seven big points with her fourth career 3-pointer in nine minutes on the court.
  *   Bella Fontleroy scored four on the evening but had nine boards and drew three fouls.
  *   Waiata Jennings matched her season-high (and DI career-high) rebound total with three but remains scoreless in Big 12 play.
  *   Kyla Abraham had her first sunk free throw since the November 17, 2024, contest against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at Foster Pavilion. The junior had the one point but came up big with eight rebounds.
  *   Collen is 93-33 in her fourth season leading the Bears, 45-19 in Big 12 play.

  *   Collen is 23-8 in the month of February.
  *   Baylor used the familiar lineup of Darianna Littlepage-Buggs, Jada Walker, Sarah Andrews, Aaronette Vonleh and Bella Fontleroy as its first five for the 23rd time this season.
     *   Littlepage-Buggs is 56-15, Walker is 45-13, Andrews is 90-34, Fontleroy is 40-15 and Vonleh is 19-5 as starters at Baylor.
  *   Baylor is back at Foster Pavilion for the nightcap of a doubleheader with the men’s program, facing BYU on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT.
