🔼 Texas Tussle With the Tigers. For the 12th time in the past 15 years, the Bears are headed bowling and on Sunday afternoon, they learned their dance partner.

Riding a six-game winning streak, BU will lock horns with the Tigers of LSU at the Kinder’s Texas Bowl in Houston on December 31st at 2:30 pm CST.

This marks the third time that Baylor and LSU have squared off in bowl games.

🔼 20-20 Vision. No need to check the eyesight of Darianna Littlepage-Buggs, it’s clear she’s got 20-20 vision.

At least she did on Sunday as the junior sensation continued her hot streak with a 21-point, 20-rebound effort to help the Bears to their ninth win of the season, a 71-64 defeat of visiting UNLV.

For Littlepage-Buggs, it was her fourth straight double-double and sixth of the season.

Aaronette Vonleh added 20 points, while Sarah Andrews flirted with a triple-double, finishing with 18 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. .

🔼 What A Run. A ninth straight NCAA Tournament bid. 23 victories. Nationally-ranked for the entire season.

It was quite a year for the Baylor volleyball squad, but it came to an end on Friday night as 22nd-ranked Dayton pulled out a 3-2 victory in a nailbiter in the Round of 32.

Allie Sczech had 21 kills and six blocks, while Jackie Barrett Frazier, a graduate student and transfer from Auburn, had a double-double, going for a season-high tying 46 assists, 11 digs, four service aces and two kills. It marked her 18th  double-double of the year and the 61st  of her career.
