BACK AT IT
• After a COVID pause last week, the Bears return to play this week at No. 23 Oklahoma.
• The last time out, BU dropped its Big 12 opener on the road at Kansas State, 68-59.
• Tuesday afternoon, the Big 12 announced schedule adjustments for Baylor women's basketball with three home games in February. BU will face Texas on Friday, Feb. 4, Kansas State on Wednesday, Feb. 9, and TCU on Wednesday, Feb. 16.

WALKING DOUBLE-DOUBLE
• NaLyssa Smith<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10009> leads the country with 11 double-doubles on the season. Keep in mind, the Bears have only played 13 games. The senior recorded 11-straight double-doubles.
• During the streak, Smith has five games with a minimum of 15 rebounds. She leads the Big 12 in rebounds per game (12.6).
• Smith is tied for seventh in Baylor history with 34 career double-doubles alongside Lauren Cox (2016-20) and LaNita Luckey (1988-92).

LET IT FLY
• The calendar hadn't even flipped to December yet before the Bears tied for second in program history with 13 3-pointers made in their blowout win over Morehead State (11/30).
• Baylor's program record for triples made came on Dec. 18, 2019 against Arkansas State when Juicy Landrum caught fire and set an NCAA record with 14 triples. Besides that record-setting performance, BU hadn't drained more than a dozen shots from deep since 2011.
• BU's record for 3-point attempts in a season came in 2013-14 when the Bears attempted 596 3s.
• From that season to 2020-21, Baylor made 10 or more 3-pointers in a game only five times across a total of 281 games (1.78 percent).
• This season alone - in Nicki Collen<https://baylorbears.com/staff.aspx?staff=662>'s new offensive system - the Bears are letting it fly from the perimeter.
• Prior to this season, ony 14 Bears had made six or more 3s in a game. Two of them had done it multiple times (Makenzie Robertson, 2012, 2014) and Jennifer King (1990, 1991, 1993).
• Sarah Andrews<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10014> and Ja'Mee Asberry<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10724> have already joined the club this season. Andrews went 6-for-8 against Morehead State from deep and Asberry fired off 6-of-8 against Alcorn State.

CLUB 17K
• Jordan Lewis<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10723> surpassed the 1,700 career-points mark in Baylor's win over Alcorn State. The sixth-year graduate transfer left Alabama as the Crimson Tide's fifth all-time leader in assists (510) and ninth all-time leader with 1,581 points.
• Lewis is No. 16 among active players for most points scored in her career with 1,743. She's third among active players with 574 career assists.
