🔺 Holiday Treat. The Christmas songs may seem a little louder. The joy may be even brighter. This Christmas, the Baylor’s women’s team is bringing their own cheer.

On Thursday, the Bears finished off a clean sweep of non-conference play, capturing the West Palm Beach Classic title with a decisive 73-50 victory over South Florida.

Sarah Andrews was once again outstanding, pouring in a team-high 19 points, while Darianna Littlepage-Buggs responded after missing Wednesday’s opener with a 18-point, 13-rebound performance for the Green & Gold.

In the 35 years of basketball, the two BU basketball programs piled up over 850 victories together with both teams sitting a perfect 13-0 combined this season.

Tonight, the Green & Gold look to send the old golden dome out on top.

🎙 INSIDE BAYLOR SPORTS

Dec. 22nd Edition:
One Last Time

In today’s episode we recap Baylor women’s undefeated
non-conference slate, while previewing the final game at
the historic Ferrell Center for Baylor Basketball.

🤔 SIC ’EM TRIVIA

Tonight, the Bears take the court for the 1,133rd college basketball game in the history of the Ferrell Center.

Over the years, it’s become one of the most hostile environments in the entire country.

Since the start of the 2000-01, the two programs have combined to play 804 games inside the historic building.

What is BU’s combined winning percentage in those games? (We’ll be nice and give you +/- 3-percent for those playing at home)
