WACO, Texas – The No. 21 Baylor women’s basketball team plays is second-straight game against a ranked opponent when it travels to face No. 23 Oklahoma on Wednesday night at the Lloyd Noble Center.

Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. and the game is available for streaming via the Big 12 Now on ESPN+.  A live radio broadcast will be available on ESPN Central Texas (1660 AM/92.3 FM) and live in-game updates will be provided via Twitter and live stats.

STARTING FIVE

Sophomore Darianna Littlepage-Buggs averaged a double-double (15 pts, 11 reb) last week after posting back-to-back double-doubles at BYU and against No. 22 West Virginia.

Baylor picked up its conference-leading fifth top-25 win of the season on Saturday afternoon, besting the Mountaineers, 65-58.

Wednesday’s contest against No. 23 Oklahoma marks the eighth game against a ranked opponent for the Bears. Baylor is 5-2 against teams in the top-25 this year.

The Sooners and the Bears rank first and second, respectively, in the Big 12 in assists per game at 20.4 and 19.6 assists per contest, respectively.

Senior Sarah Andrews has 218 career 3-pointers and needs 43 more to break Odyssey Sim’s record of 258. The senior guard has hit at least one from range in all but two contests this season.

SCOUTING THE SERIES WITH OKLAHOMA

Baylor holds the slim 34-28 advantage in the all-time series with Oklahoma and the Bears are 16-12 in Norman. The Bears and the Sooners split the series last season as each team picked up a road win. In Baylor’s win in Norman on Jan. 3, 2023, Sarah Andrews dropped a career-high 30 points against the then-No. 17 Sooners, going 5-of-12 from behind the 3-point arc and a career-best 9-for-11 from the free throw line. Oklahoma has won three of the last five meetings between the two programs, breaking a 12-game win streak by the Bears during the 2021-22 season.

You made my point. Her goals are higher, but she just can't deliver. Mediocre coaches have mediocre results.

I thought she was a great transfer but she for some reason doesn't seem to fit into CNC's plans. Suprising and frustrating.


What are CNC plans? To keep finishing 6th?


This sudden collapse is on her in my opinion.
If you think this is sudden, you haven't been paying attention.
The program has been in a nose dive since KM's players departed.

She reminds me of Aranda, actually. She can do really well with someone else's players on an established and winning team. But sustain it? Pfft



100 percent. Some are just mediocre coaches. She is in the college ranks. Good person. Stands up and answers questions. 2 years with her team. And 6 place. Beautiful.

Nothing popped out about her resume before her tenure here. I still don't understand why Mack made this choice. I can only guess that she, like you said, is a good person. Maybe that was enough for Mack. Maybe the price was right. I dunno. The decision to hire her wasn't made based on her track record of success..
