<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Baylor dropped the 77-56 decision at Oklahoma State on Saturday in just its second road loss of the season. Every player that was available for the Bears saw the court, including
rookie Kyla Abraham, who made her first appearance in a Big 12 game, contributing four points and a pair of blocks in four minutes off the bench.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Bears were led offensively by Caitlin Bickle, who turned in her fifth double-double of the year, finishing with 16 points and a career-high 13 rebounds. Sarah Andrews
reached double figures for the 12-straight game, notching 11 in the outing, while Bella Fontleroy recorded her second-career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

<p class="MsoBodyText"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">NOT SO LITTLE(PAGE) BUGGS<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">For the fourth-straight week, and sixth time this season, Darianna Littlepage-Buggs was tabbed the Big 12 Freshman of the Week on Monday. With the honor, she is tied for
the third-most awarded to a rookie in the league since 2009. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Littlepage-Buggs leads all Division I freshmen in the country in rebounds per game, sitting at 9.3 per contest. Her 11 double-doubles on the year are the second most in the
Big 12 behind KU’s Taiyanna Jackson. She ranks second in the conference in rebounding in all games, and Big 12-only action. Littlepage-Buggs’ seven double-doubles in league games are tied for the second most among Baylor freshmen dating back to the 2009-10
season. Only Brittney Griner, who had eight in Big 12 games as a rookie, has more since that year.

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Baylor holds the 42-9 advantage in the all-time series with Kansas State. The Bears have won 13 of the last 14 meetings with the Wildcats in Manhattan and are 14-4 all-time
on the road. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In the first meeting this season on Jan. 18, the Bears powered past the Wildcats inside the Ferrell Center, 69-48. The 21-point victory marked the ninth time this season
the Bears had bested their opponent by at least 20 points. Additionally, it was the second-largest margin of win over a conference opponent behind the 22-point win over TCU to start Big 12 play.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Wildcats are 11-3 at Bramlage Coliseum this season and have won just one of their last five games. The victory was a 78-77 win over then-No. 12 Iowa State at home. Entering
Wednesday’s contest, three Wildcats are averaging double figures, led by Gabby Gregory at 19.7 points per contest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
