<p><b>Story lines</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• No. 15/14 Baylor welcomes Texas to Waco for an 8 pm CT tip as a part of ESPN's Big Monday, for the final regular-season meeting between the two teams as conference foes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• The Bears are fifth in the nation in 3-point FG% (39.7), rank fifth in nation in offensive efficiency (123.5) and second in the Big 12 in points per game (81.6).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Saturday is the 263rd series meeting – the most-played rivalry in Baylor history dating back 108 years.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• BU enters this match-up with a 21-23 record against Texas under <b>Scott Drew.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• The Bears have won six-straight and seven of the last eight against the Horns in Waco.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Baylor is 13-3 in its last 16 games vs. Texas since Feb. 20, 2016 (6-0 in Waco, 6-3 in Austin, 1-0 in KC).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• BU is 23-10 vs. Texas since snapping a 24-game series losing streak at the 2009 Big 12 Championship.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• In the last meeting, Texas' Tyrese Hunter hit a shot at the buzzer to beat the Bears 75-73, handing BU consecutive losses in Austin for the first time since 2014 and 15.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• In that meeting, Texas started the game 9-for-11 from three in the first half, before BU held UT to 0-for-8 from deep in the second half.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Last time out, Baylor gave Kansas it's seventh conference loss with an 82-74 win over the Jayhawks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• With the win, BU secured a season split with KU for the fifth-straight season, and improved to 13-5 in its last 18 games against AP Top-10 teams.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• BU also secured double-digit Big 12 wins for the sixth-straight season, and the 11th time in the
<b>Drew</b> Era, after winning double-digit conference games just eight times prior to that.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• Monday will be senior night for Baylor who will celebrate the careers of <b>
Rayj Dennis</b>, <b>Jalen Bridges</b>, <b>Caleb Lohner</b>, <b>Austin Sacks</b> and
<b>Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• In just one season with the Bears, <b>Dennis</b> has etched his name in the Baylor history books with the fifth-most single-season assists in program history (195).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• <b>Dennis'</b> 6.7 assists per game would rank as the fifth-best single-season average in program history.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• <b>Bridges</b> has started every game for BU since stepping on campus prior to the 2022-23 season, and entered this season as Baylor's lone returning starter from the 2022-23 team.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• <span class="scayt-misspell-word"><b>Lohner</b></span> joins<b> Bridges </b>
as one of two players on the roster who have appeared in every game over the last two seasons.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• A BYU transfer, <span class="scayt-misspell-word"><b>Lohner</b></span> will leave with his name in the BU record books for the highest shooting percentage in an NCAA Tournament game, when he went 5-for-5 against USCB in the opening round of the 2022-23
NCAA Tournament.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• In his third year with the program, <b>Sacks</b>, a former walk-on, notched his career-first points this season, and was awarded a scholarship on ESPN's Jay Bilas on College
<span class="scayt-misspell-word">Gameday</span>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• <b>Tchamwa Tchatchoua </b>was named the 2021-22 Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year, despite only playing in 12 games before suffering a devastating knee injury against Texas on Feb. 12, 2022.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>• <span class="scayt-misspell-word"><b>Tchamwa</b></span><b> <span class="scayt-misspell-word">
Tchatchoua</span></b> made a triumphant return to the court less than a year (357 days) later vs. Tech (2/4/23). <o:p></o:p></p>
