Game Notes- </p>
<p>• BU stays on the road for its third-straight game, this time landing in Orlando, Fla., to face UCF at Addition Financial Arena on Wednesday night. </p>
<p>• Baylor has its best start to conference play in the <span class="scayt-misspell-word">
<b>Nicki</b></span><b> <span class="scayt-misspell-word">Collen</span></b> era through eight games with a 6-2 record.</p>
<p>• Baylor and UCF are facing off for just the fifth time ever, with Baylor taking all four of the prior
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">matchups</span>. </p>
<p>• BU has only faced UCF once before in Orlando, but has a pair of appearances at the UCF Holiday Classic (1988, 1992) in the record book. In the game against, then, Central Florida, Baylor won 110-67 on Dec. 31, 1992.</p>
<p>• UCF is still in search of its first conference win of the season, already facing TCU, West Virginia, Arizona, Colorado, Cincinnati, TCU, Oklahoma State and Iowa State. </p>
<p>• Kaitlin Peterson far outpaces the Knights in scoring, averaging 20.7 a game shooting 41.1% from the floor. Peterson’s average ranks her 17th nationally and third in the league. </p>
<p>• Head coach Sytia Messer spent eight seasons in Waco as an assistant coach in the
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">Mulkey</span> era (2013-2021) before being named head coach in Orlando in 2022. With BU, Messer won eight conference regular season titles, six conference tournament titles and the 2019 National Championship. </p>
<p>• BU dropped its second consecutive game in a Saturday afternoon contest against No. 9 TCU in Fort Worth, 80-75. The decision gave TCU its first win over the Bears since 1990, snapping a 37-win streak for Baylor. </p>
<p>• Nearly mounting a comeback after being down by as many as 22 points halfway through the third, the bid fell just short to give BU its first road conference loss of the season in the second of two consecutive losses, the team’s first skid this campaign. </p>
<p>• With a season-low four turnovers, the second-lowest of the <span class="scayt-misspell-word">
Collen</span> era, the Bears were led by Sarah Andrews with 21 points with five 3-pointers that matched her season best. </p>
<p>• Florida transfer Aliyah <span class="scayt-misspell-word">Matharu</span> recorded 21 quality minutes in the contest, ending the day +19 in the point differential while on the court after hitting a pair of big threes. </p>
<p>• BU has two players chasing 500 career rounds: <span class="scayt-misspell-word">
<b>Aaronette</b></span><b> <span class="scayt-misspell-word">Vonleh</span></b> is lacking 35 and
<b>Bella Fontleroy</b> needs 37.</p>
<p>• <b>Darianna Littlepage-Buggs</b> is 35 points away from being BU’s sixth active player with 1k points at the DI level. </p>
