<p><b>Story lines</b></p>
<p>• No. 9/9 Baylor travels to Austin for its final regular-season meeting as conference foes against Texas at The Moody Center. </p>
<p>• The Bears are third in the nation in 3-point FG% (40.4), rank fifth in nation in offensive efficiency (120.3) and second in the Big 12 in points per game (84.8).</p>
<p>• Saturday is the 262nd series meeting – the most-played rivalry in Baylor history dating back 108 years.</p>
<p>• BU enters this match-up with a 21-22 record against Texas under <b>Scott Drew.</b></p>
<p>• Baylor is 13-2 in its last 15 games vs. Texas since Feb. 20, 2016 (6-0 in Waco, 6-2 in Austin, 1-0 in KC).</p>
<p>• BU is 23-9 vs. Texas since snapping a 24-game series losing streak at the 2009 Big 12 Championship.</p>
<p>• Baylor is 6-2 in Austin since 2016 with its only losses coming in 2019 and 2023. BU was 28-88 in Austin prior to that.</p>
<p>• In the last meeting, Baylor erased a 14-point first-half lead by No. 8 Texas, on the strength of an 18-0 run, to down the Horns 81-72 for a sixth-straight-win over Texas in Waco.</p>
<p>• In the last meeting in Austin, <span class="scayt-misspell-word"><b>Keyonte</b></span><b> George</b> got BU within one point with 50 seconds to play, before Texas scored the final four points to seal the win in the first meeting between the two programs
at The Moody Center.</p>
<p>• Baylor is 81-22 against in-state opponents since the start of the 2011-12 season, and the Bears have advanced deeper into postseason play than any of Texas' 23 Division I teams in five of the last ten seasons.</p>
<p>• Baylor is 68-50 in Big 12 road games since 2012, second-best in the league behind only Kansas (74-45).</p>
<p>• Baylor's 309-120 record since 2011-12 trails only Kansas (348-88) among Big 12 teams.</p>
<p>• The Bears have now been ranked in the top-10 for a fifth-straight year, one of just four programs (Duke,
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">Gonzaga</span> and Kansas) to accomplish that feat.</p>
<p>• Ranked in the AP Top-25 for 20-straight weeks, BU is riding the nation's eighth-longest active streak and the third-longest in the Big 12 (Houston 75, Kansas 54).</p>
<p>• Last time out, Baylor dropped its first game in Big 12 play in a 68-64 overtime loss at Kansas State.</p>
<p>• <b>Langston Love</b> had a team-high 15 points off the bench, leading the Bears in scoring for the second-straight game.</p>
<p>• <b>Love</b> is averaging 15.3 points per game in Big 12 play, most in the league among players who do not start.</p>
<p>• BU has had six players win Big 12 Sixth-Man of the Year, no other conference school has more than two.</p>
<p>• Despite its lowest offensive output of the season, the Bears improved to 3-0 with a 62-59 win over Cincinnati to remain unbeaten at Foster Pavilion.</p>
<p>• The Bears beat BYU 81-72 in the conference home opener, building on their nations-best 28-12 record against vs. AP top-25 teams over the last five years.</p>
<p>• Trailing by as many as nine with 17:19 to play in the second half, BU used a 10-0 run over the next four minutes to take back the lead and were able to hold off the Cougars down the stretch.</p>
<p>• In the conference opener, BU outlasted a feisty Oklahoma State squad 75-70 in overtime for its ninth-straight win at Gallagher-Iba Arena. </p>
<p>• Despite only hitting two three-pointers, the nation's leading 3-point shooting team out-rebounded the Pokes on the offensive glass 16-5, giving them a 12-6 advantage in second-chance points.</p>
