WACO, Texas – The No. 12 Baylor women’s basketball team returns to action at Foster Pavilion when it hosts UCF and No. 7 Kansas State on Saturday and Monday, respectively.
Saturday’s contest against the Knights is set for 2 p.m. and is available for streaming via Big 12 Now on ESPN+. A live radio broadcast will be available online and locally on 104.9 FM, and live in-game updates will be provided via Twitter and live stats.
Monday’s top-15 matchup with Kansas State is set to air nationally on FS1 and fans can tune into ESPN Central Texas (1660 AM/92.3 FM) for a live radio broadcast. Live in-game updates will also be provided via Twitter and live stats.
STARTING FIVE
Baylor is a perfect 9-0 at home this season with two wins in the brand-new Foster Pavilion after picking up wins over then-No. 23 TCU (Jan. 3) and Houston (Jan. 6).
Baylor’s two opponents - UCF and Kansas State - in the three-day stretch will be its only meetings against the two programs during the regular season this year.
Sarah Andrews has 208 career 3-pointers and needs 51 more to break Odyssey Sim’s record of 258. The senior guard has hit at least two from range in 14 of 16 games this year.
Baylor is one of four teams in the country, joining Kansas, Mississippi State and Louisville, with five 1,000-point scorers on its roster. Yaya Felder is the latest member of the 1,000-point club after recording the final point in BU’s 87-58 win over Houston on Jan. 6.
Monday’s nationally televised game on FS1 marks the fourth of the season for the Bears and first of three-straight contests set to be aired on the big screen. Baylor’s game at Oklahoma State (Jan. 28) and home contest against Texas (Feb. 1) will be broadcast on the ESPN family of networks.
SCOUTING THE SERIES WITH UCF
Saturday’s meeting between the Bears and the Knights will be just the fourth all-time. Baylor holds a perfect 3-0 record in the all-time series with UCF and Saturday’s game will be the first meeting in Waco. The last time the Bears and the Knights faced each other was in the opening round game of the Paradise Jam in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands on Nov. 27, 2008. Baylor came out on top, 79-67, and went on to beat Villanova at the event.

Someone report about camera angle
Great student turnout, though!whitetrash said:
A few observations before tipoff:
Maybe 3500, 4000 tops here. 2 bad road losses will do that.
Yormark is here. Was hanging out in the club under the sideline stands before the game.
Added new perk in the sideline club: free chili for the hotdogs. But it has beans.
Plenty of open space available to put a camera at mid level. Loft seats are half full at best.
good thing we didn't lolMrGolfguy said:

I know they're trying hard but something about this team is just off right now. Don't know what it is, but this team doesn't even resemble the 1 from 2 weeks ago. Disappointing...
