 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 5th 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 502 assists coming into Wednesday'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 5 Big 12 games left to play, a Big 12 Tournament and an NCAA Tournament.
 Her pace is 6.8 assists per game, and if she continues at that rate, she would pass Wallace in the next 4 games. Niya Johnson is Baylor's all-time leader with 988 and Odyssey Sims ranked second at 641.<br>

&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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>

 (SCIOWRA). Ursin returned to practice after clearing concussion protocol in mid-November while Richards' rehab began immediately after she briefly lost feeling below her knees. Richards was first confined to a walker to assist her in walking, but by mid-November
 she was completing individual drills and workouts with medical and strength &amp; 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>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 &quot;Best Thing I Saw Today&quot; segment.<br>
