There isn’t a ton to write about this game as much of it has been written over the past eight plus seasons. Baylor is the top team in the conference and Texas is the top challenger. 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.

What a great sign it is to still be winning with Brown not scoring from the field. I think that's what separates this squad apart from the ones of recent years. Though we look to the post players to score, the team is not completely reliant on them for offense.

Probably good for us that Holmes hit her first three pointer. Easier and less tiring floating around three point line than banging down low with Kalani. Less effective, offensively for UT, as well. Really need Chloe, Moon, and Juicy to shoot with confidence and authority. If they hit their shots like they can, UT will be in a bind. We must lengthen the lead so that a call or two or three that doesn't go our way doesn't unravel us.

Texas has to play with desperation, as they already have 2 losses in conference. Lose to us here and that's three losses with a good chance of losing the fourth in Waco. Not a good resume. But beat a number one team and come into Waco with a chance to give us a second loss with a sweep by them, and their resume looks pretty right there with ours.

Knife's edge game for us...which way do we fall?...

The 13-0 scoring run for the Baylor Lady Bears gave them the lead, which they still have, entering the 3rd Quarter.

I don't know that I've ever seen a player underperform their athletic abilities more than Joyner Holmes. I wonder if it is coaching or attitude. I think she has regressed since her freshman year.

When 40 is in the lane for 5-10 seconds you need to feed her
