Preview: Arizona Wildcats at No. -- Baylor Lady Bears WACO, Texas (Interstat) — The Baylor Lady Bears look to rebound from a rare lopsided loss when they host the struggling Arizona Wildcats in a Big 12 women’s basketball matchup Saturday at Ferrell Center. Baylor (22-6 overall) saw a three-game win streak snapped emphatically in an 87-56 road loss to Texas Tech on Wednesday. The Lady Bears, who have been a fixture in the AP Top 25 this season, will aim to reassert their defensive identity against a Wildcats team seeking consistency. Arizona (11-15) arrives in Waco on a five-game skid, most recently falling 78-70 to Colorado at home on Tuesday. The Wildcats have found wins hard to come by in conference play, but possess a dynamic offensive threat in guard Lani Cornfield. Cornfield is coming off a stellar 25-point, 8-assist performance against Colorado and has scored 21 or more points in four of her last eight games. Her playmaking will be central to Arizona’s hopes of pulling an upset on the road. Baylor will counter with forward Darianna Littlepage-Buggs, a consistent presence who posted 25 points in a win over Houston last month. She had 13 points in the loss to Texas Tech. The Lady Bears’ depth, featuring contributors like Taliah Scott, will be tested as they look to control the paint and tempo. The teams have no common opponents this season. Baylor has been strong at home, while Arizona has struggled away from Tucson. This game is the only scheduled meeting between the programs this regular season. Baylor will host Kansas State on Monday, while Arizona travels to face Houston next Tuesday. Tip-off is set for Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, at the Ferrell Center in Waco.
