  *   The No. 13 Baylor women’s basketball suffered its first home loss of the season with a 58-55 setback to No. 4 Kansas State on Monday night at Foster Pavilion.
  *   A trio of Bears finished in double figures led by Bella Fontleroy’s 12-points and perfect 3-for-3 night at the free throw line.
  *   Dre’Una Edwards added 11 points and has finished in double digits in a team-leading 15 of 18 contests this season.
  *   Aijha Blackwell recorded her fourth double-double of the season, and team-best 38th of her career, with a 10-point, 11-rebound performance.
  *   Blackwell’s 11 boards marked the seventh time this season that the graduate senior has led the Bears in the category. She has finished in double figures on the glass in four of the last five games and six times this year.
  *   Baylor’s game against Kansas State marked the fifth game against an AP Top 25 opponent this season. The Bears’ 4-1 record in those contests is tied for the second-most wins against the top 25 with Colorado, South Carolina and the Wildcats. Only UCLA and UConn have more with five apiece.
  *   Jana Van Gytenbeek made two of Baylor’s four 3-pointers in the game and she now has 10 made threes on the year.
  *   The Bears recorded the third-most steals (15) in a game this year as Jada Walker led the way, matching a season-high of four.
  *   Baylor out-rebounded the Wildcats, 32-30, marking the 12th time this season that the Bears have grabbed more boards than their opponent.
  *   BU’s nationally televised game marked the fourth one of the year for the Bears and first of three-straight. Baylor’s game at Oklahoma State (Jan. 28) and home contest against Texas (Feb. 1) will be broadcast on the ESPN family of networks.
