• Baylor returned home for its first game in the Ferrell Center in more than two weeks and went to work.<br>

and finished 6-for-8 on the night, a career-high in 3-point makes.<br>
• <dfn><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10005"><span style="color:#154734">Queen Egbo</span></a></span></dfn> recorded a career-high 16 rebounds and tied her career-best with four assists.<br>
• Egbo (11 points, 16 rebounds) and <dfn><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10009"><span style="color:#154734">NaLyssa Smith</span></a></span></dfn> (10 points, 11 rebounds) became the first Baylor
teammates to record double-doubles in the same game since March 24, 2021 when Egbo (18 points, 11 rebounds) and <dfn><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><a href="https://baylorbears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10010"><span style="color:#154734">Moon Ursin</span></a></span></dfn> (12
points, 10 rebounds) did so against West Virginia.<br>
• For the first time since Dec. 19, 2020, Baylor held an opponent to under 30 total points (24, McNeese State). Tuesday also marked the first time since that game that BU held an opponent to four single-digit scoring quarters.<br>
• The Bears went 13-for-29 from the 3-point line. Both of those numbers are season highs, as was BU's 44.8 percentage from the perimeter.<br>
• The total of 13 3-pointers is tied for second in program history for 3-pointers made and marks the first time since Jan. 3, 2018, that the Bears made at least 12 triples in a game.<br>
• BU held Morehead State to 20 percent shooting from the floor. That's the lowest field-goal percentage defense by the Bears since holding Texas to 24.6 percent on Feb. 14, 2021.<br>
• For the second time this season, Baylor held an opponent to less than 20 points in the second half with 11 (18, New Orleans).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
