BIG BUCKETS
Baylor's 88 points in the season-opening victory over Lamar on Monday night marked the eighth time in 10 years that the Bears have scored 80-plus to start the year, winning its 18th-straight home opener.
Rookie Bella Fontleroy and newcomer Aijha Blackwell led Baylor's offensive charge, turning in 17 points apiece. The Bears scored 35 points off the bench, led by Fontleroy's 17-point effort, and outscored the Cardinals in the paint, 46-22. Fontleroy registered 11 of her 17 points in the fourth quarter.
SPREADING THE WEALTH
Senior Jaden Owens dished out a career- and team-high 12 assists, while adding 11 points off the bench, for her first career double-double in Monday's win over the Cardinals. She became the first Bear since Jordyn Oliver (2020) to record a double-double with points and assists. Owens' 12 assists marked the most in a game since Jordan Lewis dished out 11 at West Virginia last season.
BAYLOR VS. THE STATE OF TEXAS
In Baylor women's basketball history, the Bears are 387-227 (.630) against opponents from the state of Texas. Thursday's meeting with Incarnate Word marks the first time in program history the two teams will face off against each other, and it will be the second of three-straight games for the Bears against opponents from the Lonestar State to begin the year. Since 2011, Baylor has played 104 games against in-state opponents and only lost four times.
PROMOTIONS
The women's basketball team has partnered with South Waco Elementary for a coat drive this fall. Beginning with the Bears' season opener against Lamar, fans can bring a new or lightly used coat for kids, ages 5-13, to the marketing table on the concourse during home games from Nov. 7 to Dec. 7.
