• No. 6 Baylor travels to College Park, Md., to take on No. 3 Maryland at noon (CT) on Sunday. This will be BU's first game in the state of Maryland in program history.<br>
• The Bears have played in 65 top-10 contests in their history (see page 5). Baylor is 40-25 all-time in these match-ups. BU is 13-3 at home, 10-10 on the road and 17-12 at neutral sites.<br>
• Thirteen of those contests have come in the month of November with Baylor going 6-7. <br>
• Baylor and Maryland have only played once before when the two teams met up in the Sweet 16 of the Albuquerque Regional.<br>

• Baylor led UT Arlington 38-32 at halftime before taking things to another level in the second half.<br>
• The Bears put their foot down on the gas and never looked back as a 20-9 third quarter paved the way to a 27-point win in their second game in three days to start the season.<br>
• In the first half, UTA shot 39 percent from the floor. But the Baylor defense locked things down in the second half as the Lady Mavs only shot 22 percent for a total of 22 points.<br>
