  *   With the team’s 11 3-pointers on Sunday, the Bears have hit 10-plus threes in two of the last three outings and have combined for 28 in the last two games after knocking down a program-record 17 from range against McNeese on Friday.
  *   Baylor has recorded 20-or-more assists in three-straight games, finishing with 22 against the Lady Braves.

  *   All 13 Bears played and scored for the second-straight outing in the win over the Lady Braves.

  *   Sarah Andrews (15), Aijha Blackwell (11) and Jana Van Gytenbeek (11) also finished in double figures, as Van Gytenbeek’s 11 points was a season-high for the senior guard and her fourth-career double-figure outing.
