Game notes:
• Baylor stays at The Most Magical Place on Earth for the WBCA Showcase to play Davidson on Saturday afternoon from State Farm Field House in the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
• The Bears face off with the Wildcats for the first time in program history.
• Baylor returns to the court with a new-look roster that features six new players and three new coaches, highlighted by three Auburn pickups: Assoc. HC Johnnie Harris, redshirt sophomore Taliah Scott and sophomore Yuting Deng.
• Baylor is ranked seventh in the AP Poll and 10th in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll after their 4-1 start to the season.
• It is Baylor's first time in the national top 10 rankings since January 2024 and the 23rd edition featuring Baylor in the top 10 under Collen, 312th in program history. The Bears hold a 527-68 record in games playing as a national top-10 team.
• Taliah Scott has made an immediate impact for the Bears, scoring 130 points in just five games, including 32 against No. 19 Iowa.
• Scott scored 12 points in the fourth quarter to lift the Bears over the Blue Devils, going 3-of-6 from the floor in that frame while adding six clutch free throws.
• The Florida native is shooting 44.3% from the field, 35.6% from beyond the arc, and 87.5% from the free-throw line through her first two games.
• Scott earned Big 12 Player of the Week and USBWA National Player of the Week honors for her performances.
• Baylor's roster features four players in their fourth season under head coach Nicki Collen, the most among Big 12 programs. BYU follows with two, while Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas Tech each have one.
• UConn leads major basketball conferences (Power Four + Big East) with five returners in at least their fourth year, while Baylor's four are tied for second with Iowa, Minnesota and Washington.
• Kyla Abraham, Bella Fontleroy and Darianna Littlepage-Buggs all signed straight out of high school in an unbroken 2022 recruiting class.
• Jana Van Gytenbeek missed Year No. 3 at BU because of injury, but regained a year of eligibility to finish out her collegiate career under Collen.
