STARTING FIVE

  *   Baylor is seeking its second conference road win of the season at Oklahoma State on Sunday. The Bears are 2-2 in true road games this year after picking up a non-con victory at SMU and conference-opening win at Texas and dropping a pair of Big 12 games at Kansas and Iowa State.
  *   Graduate senior Aijha Blackwell is the only player on the roster with more than 800 career rebounds and needs just 34 boards to reach 1,000. She’s finished in double figures on the glass in four of the last five games.
  *   Sarah Andrews has 209 career 3-pointers and needs 50 more to break Odyssey Sim’s record of 258. The senior guard has hit at least one from range in 16 of 18 games this year.
  *   In Baylor’s 77-74 win over UCF on Jan. 20, the Bears shot 50% (27-of-54) from the floor as a team and moved to 18-1 in the Nicki Collen era when shooting 50% or better from the field. Additionally, Baylor is 266-2 all-time when shooting at least 50% from the floor.
  *   Sunday’s nationally televised game on ESPNU marks the fifth national broadcast of the season for the Bears and second-straight contest aired on the big screen. Baylor’s home game against No. 10 Texas on Thursday will be the third-straight nationally televised game for the Bears and first one of the year on ESPN.



AMONG THE BEST

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and WBCA announced this week that Sarah Andrews and Dre’Una Edwards are top-10 candidates for the Nancy Lieberman Award and Katrina McClain Award, respectively. Andrews is the only individual from the Big 12 represented on the Nancy Lieberman Award list and Edwards is one of just two from the league on the power forward list.



Andrews, who earned a spot on three preseason watch lists, including the Nancy Lieberman Award, has started all 18 games for the Bears this season. Edwards has also started all 18 games for the Bears this season and she has reached double-figure scoring in a team-leading 15 of 18 games this season.



SCOUTING THE SERIES WITH OKLAHOMA STATE

Baylor leads the all-time series against the Cowgirls, 48-13, and the Bears are 16-9 in Stillwater. Sunday’s contest marks the first of two meetings between the two programs during the 2023-24 regular season.



Oklahoma State swept the two-game series last season, putting up 70-plus point in both contests. Prior to the pair of losses last season, Baylor won 13-straight against the Cowgirls had won 28 of the last 30 dating back to the 2009-10 campaign.
