Juicy needs to get involved to create some separation. Chloe is shooting lights out! Put the hammer down, Lady Bears!

Was Juicy's foot on the line on that shot? I'll take the bucket either way but it looked close.

7-0 scoring run for the Lady Bears to get the double digit lead again, 60-46, with 2:11 to play in the 3rd Quarter. Kalani Brown now has a double-double. Baylor is shooting 59.6% so far.
