• No. 6 Baylor heads to Mexico to take part in the Cancun Challenge at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya. All three of BU's games will be televised on FloHoops.<br>
• Baylor will face Fordham on Thursday, Arizona State on Friday and Houston on Saturday. The Bears have only played Fordham once - in a tournament in Anchorage, Alaska, in 1988.<br>
• Since 1995, the Bears have played in 12 tournaments outside the continental US. Baylor has played in Hawaii three times, Puerto Rico once, Mexico once, the Bahamas four times and the US Virgin Islands twice. In those tournaments, BU is a combined 22-4. <br>
• For the first time since 2005, Baylor is heading back to Mexico. Sixteen years ago, the Bears played in the Caribbean Classic in Riviera Maya. While there, BU topped California and Marshall. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

• No. 6 Baylor had a shot to send the game to overtime in the final seconds, but the 3-pointer from the left wing barely missed to give No. 3 Maryland the 79-76 win.<br>
• The Terps led, 76-65, with 2:45 left in the game. <dfn><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10723"><span style="color:#154734">Jordan Lewis</span></a></span></b></dfn> answered with six-straight

38 seconds remaining with a 3-pointer to cut Maryland's lead to three. Baylor's defense got the stop without fouling on the other end to set up the chance for the tie.<br>
• <b>Smith </b>led the way for BU with 30 points - tying her career high - to go with 15 rebounds. It marked the third 30/15 performance of her career. <b>Lewis</b> was right behind her with 29 points - including three triples. <dfn><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10014"><span style="color:#154734">Sarah

• A second-half surge propelled the Bears to a 27-point win on the road over UT Arlington for BU's second game in three days to open the season. Baylor led the Lady Mavs by six at the half before holding the home team to a total of 22 points in the second half. <dfn><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10009"><span style="color:#154734">NaLyssa

• Baylor has been toward the bottom of the Big 12 in 3-point shooting in years past. That won't be the case this season. Keep track of BU's program records for 3-pointers made (210, 2016-17) and attempted (596, 2013-14). <br>
