BIG 12/SEC CHALLENGE
• For the first time since 2012, No. 5 Baylor will take on Missouri. The old Big 12 foes square off at 7PM on ESPNU as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
• The Bears are 16-5 against the Tigers. BU has won six of the last seven meetings against Mizzou and is 9-1 at home.
• This is BU's sixth Big 12/SEC Challenge contest. The Bears are 4-1 in these games: 88-66 at Tennessee (12/4/16), 90-63 vs. Kentucky (11/30/17), 94-69 at South Carolina (12/2/18), 72-38 vs. Georgia (12/4/19) and 78-83 at Arkansas (12/6/20).
• This is the eighth Big 12/SEC Challenge and the sixth time there's been at least eight games in the event. The Big 12 won the Challenge in 2019, while the SEC won in 2016 and 2020. The conferences tied in the other four seasons. Since 2016, the format has consisted of 10 scheduled games with each conference having five home games.

HOME COURT DOMINANCE
• Baylor returned home for its first game in the Ferrell Center in more than two weeks and went to work.
• Sarah Andrews<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10014> had a career-high 20 points. The sophomore guard started out 6-for-6 from the perimeter and finished 6-for-8 on the night, a career-high in 3-point makes.
• Queen Egbo<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10005> recorded a career-high 16 rebounds and tied her career-best with four assists.
• Egbo (11 points, 16 rebounds) and NaLyssa Smith<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10009> (10 points, 11 rebounds) became the first Baylor teammates to record double-doubles in the same game since March 24, 2021 when Egbo (18 points, 11 rebounds) and Moon Ursin<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10010> (12 points, 10 rebounds) did so against West Virginia.
• For the first time since Dec. 19, 2020, Baylor held an opponent to under 30 total points (24, McNeese State). Tuesday also marked the first time since that game that BU held an opponent to four single-digit scoring quarters
• The Bears went 13-for-29 from the 3-point line. Both of those numbers are season highs, as was BU's 44.8 percentage from the perimeter.
• The total of 13 3-pointers is tied for second in program history for 3-pointers made and marks the first time since Jan. 3, 2018,  that the Bears made at least 12 triples in a game.• BU held Morehead State to 20 percent shooting from the floor. That's the lowest field-goal percentage defense by the Bears since holding Texas to 24.6 percent on Feb. 14, 2021.
• For the second time this season, Baylor held an opponent to less than 20 points in the second half with 11 (18, New Orleans).
• For the first time since March 23, 2021, Baylor held an opponent to 20 points or fewer in the first half with 17 (20, Virginia Tech).
