 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 2nd nationally. Her 513 assists coming into Saturday's game ranks 4th
 all-time on the Baylor career assists list. She will have a strong shot to leave Baylor at 3rd all-time in that category, trailing Kristy Wallace's 525 by just 12 assists. Richards has four Big 12 games left to play, a Big 12 Tournament and an NCAA Tournament.
 Her pace is 7.1 assists per game, and if she continues at that rate, she would pass Wallace in the next 2 games. Niya Johnson is Baylor's all-time leader with 988 and Odyssey Sims ranked second at 641.<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 she resumed her starting role Dec. 6 at Arkansas.<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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
