PHOENIX – Bella Fontleroy and Darianna Littlepage-Buggs were announced as two of 107 finalists for the 2026 Lilly Women's College All-Star Game, held during the NCAA Final Four festivities on April 4 at Grand Canyon's Global Credit Union Arena in Phoenix.
The annual event highlights senior standouts who have completed their eligibility and are approaching the WNBA Draft. The game offers participants one final opportunity to represent their programs and be recognized for their accomplishments throughout their collegiate careers.
Fontleroy, recently named to the Big 12 All-Defensive Team for the second straight season, anchored the Baylor defense throughout conference play. She recorded four 20-point games, including a season-high 26 points against Lindenwood. Her second career double-double came against Houston, where she finished with 17 points, three 3-pointers and 12 rebounds.
An All-Big 12 Second Team and All-Defensive selection, Littlepage-Buggs enters the postseason with her 13th double-double of the year, a league-leading total. The Oklahoma City native is the only player in the conference to average a double-double for a second consecutive season, posting 10.7 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. Her season highs include 26 points against Le Moyne and 20 rebounds at Iowa State. She has also turned in three games shooting 90 percent or better from the field on at least seven attempts, including two during Big 12 play.
Littlepage-Buggs has now earned All-Big 12 honors in all four seasons of her career, adding Second Team and All-Defensive recognition this year. Her 12 double-doubles feature the same season-best performances of 26 points against Le Moyne and 20 rebounds at Iowa State, and she continues to rank among the league's most efficient scorers with three games shooting 90 percent or better on at least seven attempts.
The Lilly Women's College All-Star Game will air live on ESPN on April 4 at 1 p.m. CT. Tickets for the event are available HERE.
Baylor women's basketball is presented by Central National Bank, a family-owned, independent bank headquartered in Waco, Texas, that provides uniquely personal service while simultaneously embracing the latest developments in banking technology.
