Game notes-

• Baylor faces its second consecutive top-10 opponent in No. 9 TCU at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth.

• Baylor has its best start to conference play in the Nicki Collen era with a 6-1 record. The Bears are riding a five-game conference winning streak split 3-0 at home and 2-0 on the road.

• The Bears got their first ranked win of the season in the first attempt against 23rd-ranked Utah, defeating the Utes by nine points in Waco and are 1-1 versus opponents in the AP Top 25 after a 15-point loss to the No. 1 UCLA Bruins.

• Back in the AP Top 25, the Bears reentered the rankings on Monday, January 20. Placed at No. 25 in its fourth appearance of 2024-25, BU received votes in six editions while being left out twice.

• Baylor and TCU are facing off for the 53rd time in a series that dates back to the 1975-76 season.

• Once crosstown rivals, TCU and Baylor were both Waco-based universities from 1895-1910.

• Baylor is the winner of 36-straight over the Horned Frogs, last dropping a contest on Feb. 28, 1990, in Fort Worth.

• TCU’s roster boasts three that average more than 15 points a game, with Sadona Prince’s 19.1, Hailey Van Lith’s 18.2 and Madison Conner’s 15.5. In the paint, Prince is head and shoulders above the rest of the Frogs with 9.1 rebounds per game.

• Suffering its first conference loss of the season to Oklahoma State in Stillwater, TCU is 19-2 with a trio of ranked wins against No. 3 Notre Dame, No. 13 NC State and No. 23 Utah.

• Fifth-year senior Sarah Andrews, who has spent all five years in a Baylor uniform, is No. 2 all-time in games played for Baylor, the most in the NCAA era, and No. 6 in games started.

• 152 games played is the second-most in the program, and the most in the 43-year span of WBB as an NCAA-sponsored sport. The overall record of 162 is held by Suzie Snider Eppers from 1973-77 while the Bears competed in the AIAW. Andrews could break the all-time record and be at 163 games in Baylor’s March 2 matchup against TCU.

• 120 games started puts her behind Jessica Morrow (2005-09) at 122. National champion Brittney Griner holds the games started record at 148.

• Junior Darianna Littlepage-Buggs averages a double-double (14.2 ppg, 10.1 rpg) in 19 games this season with 14 double-digit performances, three with 20+.

• Baylor faced UCLA in the inaugural Coretta Scott King Classic on Martin Luther King Jr. Day at the Prudential Center in Newark. In the program’s 14th game against the top team in the nation, BU fell 72-57.

• After a 15-point scoring run in the first from UCLA, Baylor answered with seven unanswered to get as close as five points from the lead.

• Yaya Felder led the scoring efforts for BU with 10, the only Bear in double figures, while Darianna Littlepage-Buggs was once again the leading rebounder with 10.

• BU got its fifth straight win in a Friday night contest against the Houston Cougars at Foster Pavilion in the first of two games played against the two squads this conference season.

• Baylor held UH to just 27.3% from the floor while the Bears had their worst performance at the arc in the Collen era at 14.3% (3-21).

• Aaronette Vonleh led scoring for the second-straight game with 18 and nine rebounds.

• Darianna Littlepage-Buggs and Aliyah Matharu each scored double figures.

• Freshman Kayla Nelms had her best game against a Big 12 foe so far, scoring six in eight minutes.
