Sherri Coale's Lady Bears and Sooners, respectively, have had some good battles in the 21 years the two legendary coaches have faced one another. OU began Mulkey's tenure by handing Baylor seven-straight losses. From there, the series continued to be streaky.
Four-straight for Baylor after the seven losses in a row, followed by the Sooners going on a 6-game streak of their own. Then two for Baylor, two for OU, one for Baylor and two for Oklahoma. But, beginning with the 2010-11 season, it's been all Mulkey and
the Lady Bears. Baylor has had the upper hand in 21 of the last 22 contests dating back to Feb. 2, 2011, and the Lady Bears are winners of 12-straight vs. the Sooners. In those 21 wins, Baylor has won by an average of 18.2 points per contest. Baylor and Oklahoma

<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">LADY BEARS IN NATION'S LEAD FOR FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE DEFENSE … AGAIN</span></strong><br>
For four-straight years and five since the 2010-11 season, the Baylor Lady Bears have been the NCAA Statistical Champion in Defensive Field Goal Percentage. After holding Texas to a .246 shooting mark, Feb. 14, Baylor leads the nation in that category
once again at .311. The lowest Baylor has ever ended a season in that category is .310, which happened twice: last season and in 2011-12, which happened to be a year they finished second in the nation in field goal percentage defense.<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">AP POLL RESEARCH SHOWS MULKEY AS ACTIVE LEADER IN TOTAL TOP 25 APPEARANCES AS PLAYER, ASSISTANT AND HEAD COACH</span></strong><br>
Longtime women's hoops guru Mel Greenberg put together a list of coaches and players' appearances in the AP Top 25 poll over the years and found that Baylor head coach </span><dfn><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1573"><span style="color:#154734">Kim
Mulkey</span></a></span></dfn><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> is the NCAA's active leader in appearances at 664 from her time as a player and assistant at Louisiana Tech and her 21-year tenure as head coach at Baylor.
She trails only Holly Warlick for most all-time appearances; Warlick played, assisted Pat Summitt and was head coach at Tennessee from 2012-2019.<br>

<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">RICHARDS, KNOWN FOR HER DEFENSE, QUIETLY MOVING UP BAYLOR'S ALL-TIME ASSISTS LIST</span></strong><br>

they think defense. After all, she was the National Defensive Player of the Year by both the WBCA and Naismith last season without having high steals or blocks numbers. Her reputation for on-ball defense and pestering the Big 12 and the nation's top perimeter
players earned her the awards. But, many might not know that Richards is one of Baylor's all-time best passers. This season, she ranks first in the Big 12 in assists per game, which ranks 6th nationally. She ranks second in the league in total assists, and
last season she was the Big 12 statistical champion, ranking 7th in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio. Her 497 assists coming into Sunday's game ranks 4th all-time on the Baylor career assists list. With COVID-19 looming, Richards may not get to put up
the numbers she normally would have, but she has a shot to leave Baylor at 3rd all-time in that category. Kristy Wallace collected 525 assists in her four years and ranks third. Richards has 6 Big 12 games left to play, a Big 12 Tournament and an NCAA Tournament.
Her pace is 6.9 assists per game, and if she continues at that rate, she would pass Wallace in the next 5 games. Niya Johnson is Baylor's all-time leader with 988 and Odyssey Sims ranked second at 641.<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">COVID-19'S EFFECT ON THE LADY BEARS</span></strong><br>
All are having to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Lady Bears are no exception. Baylor lost four games scheduled for the Preseason WNIT in Waco in November, along with a Thanksgiving week game vs. Oregon in Las Vegas. Originally scheduled for Nov.
27, Baylor and Northwestern State's game was postponed due to COVID issues within the NWST program and was rescheduled for Dec. 18. Baylor lost its top-10 matchup with UConn Jan. 7 and postponed originally-scheduled Big 12 contests with K-State at home (Jan.
10) and at Kansas (Jan. 13).<br>

she was completing individual drills and workouts with medical and strength & conditioning staff. Richards shocked doctors, team medical staff and coaches with the rate of her rehab. Thirty-eight days after the injury, she played 30 minutes off the bench at
South Florida Dec. 1. She scored a bucket 13 seconds into her entry, and picked up where she left off last season by leading Baylor with seven assists. Dec. 6 in Fayetteville, Ark., she resumed her starting role, getting her first start at point guard and
finished the contest with a game-high eight assists. She led the Big 12 in assists per game in 2019-20, ranked 13th in the nation and had the NCAA's sixth-best assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.9:1.<br>
Her return to the floor sparked interest from ESPN with Mechelle Voepel writing a feature on her recovery, and Scott Van Pelt led off his Tuesday edition of SportsCenter, covering Richards' return with the "Best Thing I Saw Today" segment.<br>
