Game notes</p>
<p>• Baylor continues conference play for the first time at home this season on New Year’s Day, hosting Oklahoma State at 3 p.m. live on ESPN+ from the Banks of the Brazos. </p>
<p>• Oklahoma State women’s basketball is the first opponent to make a return trip to Foster Pavilion, men’s or women’s, 365 days removed from the first-ever game on Jan. 2, 2024. </p>
<p>• The Bears secured its 19th Big 12 lid-lifting win since the 2000-01 season and ninth on the road at Kansas, defeating the Jayhawks 86-66.</p>
<p>• BU completed a 10-2 proper non-conference slate, going perfect at home in the first season of non-con play at Foster Pavilion, with losses coming at Oregon and against Indiana in The Bahamas. Before the postseason, one final non-conference game will be
contested against UCLA in the inaugural <span class="scayt-misspell-word">Coretta</span> Scott King Classic on Jan. 20 in Newark, N.J.</p>
<p>• Baylor holds the all-time record against the Cowgirls, 50-13, entering the 64th contest between the two programs. </p>
<p>• BU is the victor of 31 of the last 35 face-offs, with OSU most recently taking a pair of wins to sweep the 2023 conference slate over the Bears between Waco and Stillwater. </p>
<p>• OSU is 2-0 against power four opponents 12 games into the season, getting a 14-point non-con win over Arkansas before beating Iowa State to open the conference slate at
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">Gallagher-Iba</span>. </p>
<p>• Three Cowgirls average double-figures in Micah Gray (17.4), Anna Gret Asi (13.8) and
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">Stailee</span> Heard (13.4), while Heard pairs it with a program-leading eight rebounds per game. </p>
<p>• Baylor won its 19th conference opener since the 2000-01 season and ninth on the road in a 20-point victory over the Kansas
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">Jayhawks</span> at Allen <span class="scayt-misspell-word">
Fieldhouse</span> in the program’s first pre-Christmas conference game since women’s basketball was sanctioned by the NCAA.</p>
<p>• <b>Sarah Andrews</b> nailed five 3-pointers to put up 19 points on the night to give the Bears their seventh-straight win. </p>
<p>• BU tied season-best stats in turnovers (8) and blocks (11). </p>
<p>• Baylor held Kansas to 32.8 from the floor, but the <span class="scayt-misspell-word">
Jayhawks</span> picked up 23 points (23-of-30; 76.6%) from the free throw line.</p>
<p>• Baylor went 8-0 at home in non-conference play, completing the second-straight and third overall undefeated home non-con schedule in the fourth year of the
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">Nicki</span> <span class="scayt-misspell-word">
Collen</span> era.</p>
<p>• BU holds a 19-game win streak in regular season non-con home games, last dropping a Nov. 20, 2022 contest against then-No.19 Maryland, 73-68, at the Ferrell Center. </p>
<p>• 2024-25 held the first non-conference schedule at the new Foster Pavilion, after opening the facility for conference play in 2023-24. </p>
