No. 2/2 Baylor 107 (15-0, 8-0), Kansas State 59 (5-12, 1-8)
Waco, Texas (Ferrell Center)
Jan. 27, 2021


  *   Baylor reached the 100-point mark against Kansas State for the 2nd time this season. It’s the first time Baylor has twice scored 100 against an opponent in a regular season and the second time at any point in a season (1979 vs. TCU - regular season & SWC Tournament).
  *   Baylor is the only team ever to score 100 points against a Bruce Weber-coached team, and the Bears have done it twice this season.
  *   Baylor’s 107 points were its 2nd-most ever in a Big 12 game behind only the 116-110 5OT victory at Texas A&M in 2008.
  *   Baylor’s 48-point margin-of-victory was its 2nd-most ever in a Big 12 game (52 vs. Texas A&M in 2002).
  *   Mark Vital set a new school record by winning his 40th career Big 12 game (40-21), passing A.J. Walton’s 39 wins (39-29).
  *   Davion Mitchell posted a career-high 31 points – his previous high was 20 in the previous game at Kansas State this season (Dec. 19, 2020).
  *   Baylor is 1 of 4 remaining undefeated teams (min. 5 games) and the nation’s final undefeated team from one of the Power-5 Conferences.
  *   Baylor improved to 15-0 for the first time since starting 15-0 on its way to No. 1 in 2016-17.
  *   The Bears have started a season 15-0 for the 3rd time in program history, all in the last 10 seasons (2012, 2017, 2021).
  *   Baylor improved to 8-0 in Big 12 play for the 2nd time in the league’s 25-year history (2020, 2021).
  *   Baylor is the nation’s only team to win every game this season by 8+ points.
  *   Baylor has built double-digit leads in all 15 games this season.
  *   Baylor has now led by at least 5 points in all 45 games since the start of the 2019-20 season.


 Thanks,
