ROLLING IN ROCKYTOP…
? The Lady Bears rolled the No. 22/25 Lady Vols in Sunday’s SEC/Big 12 Challenge matchup, 88-66. It matched the largest margin of defeat in Tennessee women’s basketball history at home and its worst defeat in Thompson-Boling Arena.
? Baylor, which led by as much as 35 points in the second half, never trailed in the contest to record its fourth win over a ranked opponent.
? Senior Alexis Jones recorded the third 30 point, 10 assist performance in program history, joining Sheila Lambert (37 points, 10 assists vs. Kansas on Jan. 6, 2001) and Odyssey Sims (39 points, 10 assists vs. West Virginia on March 2, 2014).
? Jones added nine rebounds, one shy of recording the first triple-double of her career. Had she accomplished the feat, she would be the only player in Baylor history to record a triple-double in points, rebounds and assists.
? Senior Nina Davis came on strong in her home state, recording her first 20-point game of the season and the 34th of her career. She pulled down nine rebounds, one shy of a double-double.
? Senior Khadijiah Cave netted double figures for the second consecutive game, tallying 10 points off the bench on a 5-for-5 performance from the floor in 15 minutes.
? Junior Kristy Wallace continued her solid play compiling nine points, seven rebounds and seven assists in the game. She also led the Lady Bears with a career-high three blocks.
