Baylor welcomes Texas Tech to Waco to open Big 12 play on Sunday afternoon in the nightcap of a doubleheader with MBB taking on Southern. Tipoff for the Bears and Lady Raiders is set for 3 p.m. on ESPN+ and the Baylor Sports Media Network.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
The Bears face the Lady Raiders for the 104th time in program history, riding a 31-game winning streak dating back to 2012. Collen is 7-0 against Gerlich since her arrival in 2021-22, claiming all seven meetings.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Though games on Dec. 18, <b>Kiersten Johnson</b> (blocks), <b>Darianna Littlepage-Buggs</b> (double-doubles, rebounds, rebounds per game) and
<b>Taliah Scott</b> (free throw percentage) each hold Big 12-best stats, while the team leads in blocks per game.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">

An 11-2 record through the first 13 games ties for the second-best start in the Nicki Collen era (matching 2021-22), behind only 2023-24s perfect 11-0 non-conference record. That 2023-24 team extended its winning streak to 14-0 with Big 12 victories over
Texas, TCU, and Houston before suffering its first loss. </p>
