Game notes-

• Baylor remains on the road, facing Colorado on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. CT. The game is the first for the Bears in Boulder since the Buffs left the Big 12 Conference after the 2011 season. Coverage will be live on ESPN+ and the Baylor Sports Media Network.

• The Bears are the winners of their last six games in a streak that began January 29 at UCF. Included in the six is a ranked upset over then-No. 18 West Virginia.

• Eying her final home stretch of collegiate hoops, Sarah Andrews broke the Big 12 Conference record for career games played on Saturday afternoon at Texas Tech. The new record of 159 (and counting) bests Iowa State’s Ashley Joens, who took the top spot after the 2023 season.

• The Bears remain the leading rebounding team in the Big 12 Conference, averaging 42.93 per game, enough for seventh in the NCAA, and hold an average margin of 10.3 boards over their opponents.

• Back in the AP Top 25, the Bears reentered the rankings on Monday, February 10. Placed at No. 19 in its sixth appearance of 2024-25, BU received votes in eight editions while being left out twice.

• Baylor holds the all-time record against the Buffaloes, 13-8, with the two programs facing off each year as part of the first 15 years of the Big 12 Conference (1996-2011). The Bears defeated Colorado in each of the last nine contests, last taking a 76-62 victory this season at Foster Pavilion before not playing each other since March 2011.

• The last win Colorado saw over a Baylor squad was in 2004, as the Buffaloes put a 10-point win over BU at the Ferrell Center.

• The Buffs are 13-1 at home with the lone loss coming against No. 24 Louisville, 79-71 in November. In Big 12 play alone, Colorado has home wins over No. 14 West Virginia, UCF, Kansas, No. 10 K-State, Texas Tech, Arizona and Houston.

• Frida Formann (13.3), Jade Masogayo (12.0) and Lior Garzon (10.5) each average double figures in points, while Sarah-Rose Smith leads the squad in rebounds at 6.1 per game.

• Through games on Feb. 15, Baylor is ranked 18th in the NET, going 2-3 against Quad 1 programs and 3-2 over Quad 2.

• BU’s highest-ranked NET win is over No. 13 West Virginia. The Bears upset the Mountaineers, 75-65, led by 21 points from Aaronette Vonleh and 13 rebounds from Darianna Littlepage-Buggs.

• Remaining in the Big 12 slate, BU is set to face two Q1 teams and two in Q2 (including Colorado).

• Colorado enters the contest at No. 62, with a NET-best, 10-point win over No. 7 K-State.

• A 76-62 win welcomed the Colorado Buffaloes back to the Big 12 Conference in the team’s second conference win of the year and the ninth straight over the Buffs.

• Darianna Littlepage-Buggs led the Bears for the fifth time in scoring and 12th time in rebounding for her seventh double-double of the season.

• In her first game against her former team, Aaronette Vonleh got 15 points and a trio of steals.

• All five starters tallied double figures in BU’s 46.6% shooting performance.
