STORY LINES

• No. 10 Baylor takes on Iowa State in Thursday's Big 12 Championship Quarterfinal on ESPN/2 Thursday morning at 11:30 a.m.

• Thursday marks the first time since 2010 that BU has played a Big 12 opponent in back-to-back games. Baylor beat Texas to end the regular season and then beat the Horns again in Kansas City in the Big 12 quarterfinals.

• The Bears also played Nebraska in back-to-back games in 2009, losing to the Cornhuskers to end the regular season and beating them in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament in route to the Finals.

• Baylor is 8-8 all time (7-7 in the Scott Drew era) in the Big 12 Quarterfinals.

• The Bears are 1-4 against the Cyclones in the Big 12 Tournament, with BU's only win coming in 2001.

• Baylor is aiming to win its first Big 12 Tournament title (three title-game appearances).

• BU has only lost three games in a season to one team five times in the Drew Era (2007, Texas; 2012, Mizzou; 2015, Kansas; 2016, Kansas; 2018, WVU).

• Thursday is the 47th all-time series meeting – with Baylor holding a 24-22 series advantage.

• The last meeting between these two in the Big 12 Tournament was a 74-65 ISU win in the Championship game in 2015.

• In the last meeting, The Cyclones held the Bears to a season-low 58 points in a 73-58 Cyclone win.

• Baylor's Adam Flagler (First Team), Keyonte George (Second, All-Freshman and All-Newcomer Teams) and LJ Cryer (Third Team) were named All-Big 12 selections by league's coaches.

• Twelve of Baylor's 13 starting point guards during the Drew era have earned All-Big 12 recognition.

• Flagler is one of two Big 12 shooting guards on a five-man list of finalists for the Jerry West Award (nation's top shooting guard).

• Additionally, George was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, BU's first since Quincy Miller in 2012.

• With 479 points, George is just 30 points from Baylor's freshman record of 509 held by Aaron Bruce.

• George's 16.0 points per game rank sixth among freshman in Division I.

• BU is the only Power-Six team to have a guard trio each averaging more than 14.5 points per game.

• BU's 11 quad-one wins are tied for the second-most in the nation behind Kansas.

• Scott Drew has won 20+ games in 14 of the last 16 years — the Bears had 3 seasons of 20+ wins prior to his arrival.

• Baylor has double-digit Big 12 wins in 8 of the last 9 years. Only Kansas has more double-digit conference seasons in that span. BU didn't reach double-digit Big 12 wins in any of its first 13 years in the league.

• BU has won 77-straight when shooting a higher percentage than its opponent (last loss March 2, 2019 at K-State).

• Baylor's 54-15 Big 12 record over the last four seasons is the best of any Power-5 team.

• BU is 165-96 in Big 12 play in 13 seasons since 2010 after going 59-149 in the league's first 13 seasons.

• At 26-9, BU has the best Big 12 road record over the last four seasons, and is one of just three teams with a .500+ road record in the conference during that span.

• All nine of BU's losses have come against teams currently ranked in the top 30 of the latest NCAA Net rankings
