<p><b>Story lines</b></p>
<p>• Baylor travels to Lubbock for a Tuesday night tilt with Texas Tech at 8 p.m. on
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">ESPNU</span>.</p>
<p>• After a one-week absence from the AP Top 25, the Bears returned to the Poll at No. 21 this week. They have now been ranked in 66 of the last 67 AP Polls.</p>
<p>• This will be the seventh-straight meeting between these two where BU is ranked, it matches the longest such streak in series history (2015-2017). Baylor was unranked in the first 116 meetings with Texas Tech.</p>
<p>• The Bears and Red Raiders meet for the 145th time, with Texas Tech holding an 82-62 series advantage, with Baylor winning six of the last nine meetings.</p>
<p>• Last year's sweep by Texas Tech was the first series sweep by the Red Raiders since 2004-2005.</p>
<p>• Baylor is 8-5 in 13 trips to Lubbock since 2010, and is 21-9 against Tech since 2007-2008, its first year under Drew without scholarship restrictions.</p>
<p>• Baylor is 77-21 against in-state opponents since the start of the 2011-12 season, and the Bears have advanced deeper into postseason play than any of Texas' 23 Division I teams in five of the last nine seasons.</p>
<p>• BU is coming off a week where they were the only Big 12 road team to win a game.</p>
<p>• All five of BU's losses have come against teams currently ranked in the AP Top 25, and in the top 22 of the latest NCAA Net rankings.</p>
<p>• Baylor's 44-11 Big 12 record over the last 3+ seasons is the 2nd best of any Power-5 team.</p>
<p>• BU is 158-92 in Big 12 play in 13 seasons since 2010 after going 59-149 in the league's first 13 seasons.</p>
<p>• The Bears are the best offense in the Big 12 (8th best in the nation) according to Ken Pom (117.8 Adj. Efficiency rating), averaging 80.6 points per game. </p>
<p>• With a <span class="scayt-misspell-word">KenPom</span> experience rating of 1.72, the Bears are the second-youngest team in the Big 12.</p>
<p>• BU has won 73-straight when shooting a higher percentage than its opponent (last loss March 2, 2019 at K-State).</p>
<p>• Baylor is 24-8 against AP top 25 teams over the last four seasons, the nation's best mark against ranked teams. 15 of those wins came against top 25 teams away from home.</p>
<p>• Eleven of Baylor's 12 starting point guards during the <b>Scott Drew </b>era have earned All-Big 12 recognition.</p>
<p>• Baylor's starting point guard has earned All-Big 12 recognition in 17 of 18 seasons since 2004-05.</p>
<p>• <b>Adam Flagler</b> and <span class="scayt-misspell-word"><b>Keyonte</b></span><b> George</b> were named to the Wooden Award Mid-season Top-25. BU is one of three schools with multiple players on the list (Kansas and North Carolina).</p>
<p>• <b>George</b> Has seven 20-point games this season, the most by a BU freshman since Aaron Bruce (9) (2004-05).</p>
<p>• <b>George's</b> 17.2 points per game rank second among freshman in Division I.</p>
<p>• <b>George's</b> 32 points at West Virginia were the most by a BU freshman since
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">LaceDarius</span> Dunn's 38 at Texas Tech (3/8/08).</p>
<p>• Baylor is 47-7 vs. unranked teams over the last three seasons.</p>
<p>• BU held <span class="scayt-misspell-word">NWST</span> to 48 points and improved to 44-1 under
<b>Drew</b> when holding an opponent under 50 points (12/20).</p>
<p>• The Bears spent a school record 54-straight weeks top-10 ranked in the AP Poll (12/19/19 -12/5/22).</p>
