Preview: Kansas State 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 Kansas State Wildcats in a Big 12 women’s basketball matchup Monday night at the Ferrell Center. Baylor (22-6), which fell out of the latest AP Top 25 after a 31-point road loss to Texas Tech last Wednesday, will aim to reassert its dominance at home. The Lady Bears are 12-2 in Waco this season. Their offense will lean on forward Darianna Littlepage-Buggs, who is averaging 12.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. She scored 13 points in the loss to Texas Tech and had a 25-point outburst against Houston in late January. Kansas State (15-14) arrives seeking consistency after a 75-68 home loss to Kansas on Saturday. The Wildcats have alternated wins and losses over their last eight games. Their success often flows through guard Gina Garcia, who is coming off a 10-point, 7-assist performance in a win at UCF last week. Over her last five games, Garcia is averaging 8.6 assists, showcasing her role as the primary facilitator. The Wildcats’ recent surge has been fueled by offense, scoring 93 and 77 points in two of their last three victories. However, they have struggled on the road in conference play, which Baylor will look to exploit. The Lady Bears’ defense, which held opponents under 70 points in 20 of their 22 wins, will be tested by Kansas State’s ball movement. This contest concludes the regular-season series. Baylor won the first meeting 81-72 in Manhattan on Jan. 10, led by 24 points from guard Taliah Scott. Containing Scott, who scored 13 in the loss to Texas Tech, will be a key focus for Kansas State. Monday’s game is the final regular-season home contest for Baylor before closing at TCU on March 1. Kansas State finishes its regular season at home against Iowa State the same day. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. CST.
