BACK-TO-BACK (AGAIN)
• Due to Baylor's COVID pause in early January, BU's game against TCU originally scheduled for Jan. 5 was moved to Feb. 16. That meant that the Bears would host the Horned Frogs on Wednesday before traveling to Fort Worth on Saturday.
• This week isn't quite the turnaround that the Texas weekend was - when BU faced the Longhorns twice in three days. Instead, the Bears will play TCU twice in four days.
• While this will be Nicki Collen's first time as a head coach against the Horned Frogs, she isn't unfamiliar with their head coach, Raegan Pebley. The two served as assistant coaches at Colorado State from 1999-01 under Nicki's husband, Tom Collen.

SHARE THE SUGAR
• Baylor is No. 9 in the country - and third among Power 5 teams - with 63.1 percent of its buckets assisted on this season.
• Adding to that, the Bears are 10th in the country in assist-to-turnover ratio.
• In Baylor's Big 12 wins this season, BU assists on 68.2 percent of its buckets. In their league losses, the Bears assist on 54.8 percent.

LET IT FLY
• Baylor's program record for triples made came on Dec. 18, 2019 against Arkansas State when Juicy Landrum caught fire and set an NCAA record with 14 triples. Besides that record-setting performance, BU hadn't drained more than a dozen shots from deep since 2011.
• BU's record for 3-point attempts in a season came in 2013-14 when the Bears attempted 596 3s. 
• From that season to 2020-21, Baylor made 10 or more 3-pointers in a game only five times across a total of 281 games (1.78 percent). BU has done so five times this season. 
• At Kansas, Baylor nearly set a record with a 14-for-29 display from the perimeter. BU's 14 treys marked the second most in program history.
• Prior to this year, only 14 Bears had made six or more 3s in a game. Two of them had done it multiple times (Makenzie Robertson, 2012, 2014) and Jennifer King (1990, 1991, 1993).
• Sarah Andrews and Ja'Mee Asberry have already joined that elite club this season. Andrews went 6-for-8 against Morehead State and from deep and Asberry fired off 6-of-8 against Alcorn State. Asberry then went 6-for-11 at Kansas, and Andrews set a career-high with a 7-for-10 mark.
• Andrews' seven 3s tied for third in program history. She is now one of six Bears in program history to hit a minimum of seven triples in a game.
• Jordan Lewis joined the club with her 6-of-7 performance against Iowa State.
