Gameday Thread: No. 13 Baylor vs No. 4 Kansas State

WACO, Texas – The No. 13 Baylor women’s basketball team returns to action at Foster Pavilion when it hosts No. 4 Kansas State on Monday.

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 10-0 at home this season with three wins in the brand-new Foster Pavilion after picking up wins over then-No. 23 TCU (Jan. 3), Houston (Jan. 6) and UCF (Jan. 20).

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.

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.
