LAST TIME OUT

Baylor suffered the 87-68 setback at Kansas State on Wednesday night inside the Bramlage Coliseum. Graduate Ja’Mee Asberry led the Bears offensively, posting a season-high 21 points in her first 20-plus point game of the year and 22nd in her career. She fell a 3-pointer shy of matching a career-high in the category, connecting on a team-best five from range. Asberry also added a game- and career-high six steals to her stat line.



Darianna Littlepage-Buggs added 16 points off the bench, reaching double figures for the fifth time in six outings. She went a team-best 6-for-9 from the charity stripe, matching a career high with six-made free throws. Additionally, Littlepage-Buggs grabbed a team-high eight rebounds, while Jaden Owens and Sarah Andrews each dished out a team-leading five assists in the effort.



SCOUTING IOWA STATE AND THE SERIES

Baylor holds the 33-9 advantage in the all-time series with Iowa State and the Cyclones have won just two games in Waco. In the first meeting this season on Feb. 4, the Bears handed the Cyclones their first home loss of the season, topping ISU, 76-70. Iowa State hasn’t lost a game at Hilton Coliseum since.



The Cyclones enter Saturday’s contest with a 16-7 overall record and 8-5 mark in Big 12 play. They’ve won just one of their last four, overcoming No. 17 Texas, 66-61, after dropping three straight. Iowa State’s win over Texas snapped a seven-game losing skid against the Longhorns.



The Cyclones have four players in double figures led by Ashley Joens, who is averaging 20.2 points per game. Additionally, she has a team-leading 9.1 rebounds per contest.
