FOUR IN A ROW
• Over the last four games, Baylor is averaging 6 points higher than the season average in addition to shooting .466 from 3, compared to the season average of .352.
• Speaking of 3s, Baylor's guards are shooting at a blistering rate from long range. Sarah Andrews<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10014> is red hot at 65 percent, followed by Ja'Mee Asberry<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10724> at 55 and Jordan Lewis<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10723> at 50.
• Baylor's starting five during this win streak is averaging double figures. NaLyssa Smith<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10009> leads the way with 17.8, followed by Andrews with 16, Lewis with 13.5, Queen Egbo<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10005> with 13 and Asberry with 10.3. Caitlin Bickle<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10004> isn't far behind with 8.5 points per game.

TOP 10 WIN
• Baylor picked up its first ranked win - and top-10 win - of the Nicki Collen<https://baylorbears.com/staff.aspx?staff=662> era with an 87-61 victory over then-ranked No. 7 Iowa State on Sunday. It marked the worse loss since 2018 for the Cyclones.
• It was a true team effort for the Bears as shown by the 26 assists on 32 buckets. Over BU's three-game win streak, Baylor has assisted on 79 percent of its made baskets.
• Jordan Lewis<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10723> led the charge offensively with 24 points off 9-of-11 shooting. The grad transfer went 6-for-7 from the 3-point line to tie her career high triples in a game.
• Queen Egbo<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10005> went to work on the boards, pulling down a career-best 21 rebounds. That total tied her for eighth all-time in program history alongside Kalani Brown, Maggie Davis Stinnett and Jackie Valentine.
• Sarah Andrews<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10014> continued her hot streak from the perimeter, shooting 4-of-5 from downtown.
• NaLyssa Smith<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10009> added 17 points of her own to go with three blocks.

WALKING DOUBLE-DOUBLE
• NaLyssa Smith<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10009> is third in the country with 13 double-doubles on the season.
• Smith is fifth in program history with 41 career double-doubles.
• The senior is averaging 20.2 points and 11.8 rebounds per game which ranks No. 20 and No. 6 in the country, respectively.

LET IT FLY
• 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). BU has done so four times this season.
• At Kansas, Baylor nearly set a record with a 14-for-29 display from the perimeter. BU's 14 treys marked the second most in program history.
• Prior to this year, only 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 that elite club this season. Andrews went 6-for-8 against Morehead State and from deep and Asberry fired off 6-of-8 against Alcorn State. Asberry then went 6-for-11 at Kansas, and Andrews set a career-high with a 7-for-10 mark.
• Andrews' seven 3s tied for third in program history. She is now one of six Bears in program history to hit a minimum of seven triples in a game.
• Andrews is currently No. 10 in the nation in 3-point percentage at 45.5 percent.
• Jordan Lewis<https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10723> joined the club with her 6-of-7 performance against Iowa State.
