Baylor has a 1.5 game lead on the conference race with a perfect 9-0 record, but faces a test on the road against an 8-2 Texas team looking to tighten the race. Both programs thrive off the rivalry and national attention is a given when Baylor and Texas square off.

The game takes place in Austin at 6 p.m. Monday, February 4.

Kalani may not have any points, but her presence is felt. They are keying on her so much that Moon and Didi slip through the cracks, and they have come through.

Nice lead without Kalani even taking a shot. If they continue to make these 15 footers, it'll open up for Brown soon.

Moon is going to be a PROBLEM when she learns to handle the ball better and control the offense

That fact that Holmes has fallen off this much is crazy.

No kidding. She was a better player for them than Cox was for us when they were freshmen. Now ... not so much.

Moon hasn't gotten there just yet as a "PG", she's more of a SG at this stage

I can only imagine how good she'd be with better coaching/development. She is so athletic but it just hasn't clicked for her yet.

You cannot let a shooter get a look at the 3 as the clock runs down! Kalani needs to work harder for the ball in the paint, they'll foul but will the refs call it.

TX burying the 3-pointers so far. They won't be as proficient second half.

Brown has been working plenty hard. Texas made it the sole focus of their defense to deny her the ball, at the cost of leaving others wide open. Done an excellent job of not forcing it into her anyway and just taking what the defense is giving. Most of our turnovers have been trying to do too much in transition.

Let's hope tired legs lead to short shots in the second half

That is not their strength shooting threes at 70%. Hopefully come back to earth. But even at that they can't keep up with us.
