OKLAHOMA CITY – The No.1-ranked Baylor women’s basketball team opened the Big 12 Championship with a 100-61 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday in the quarterfinal round.
The No. 9-seeded Lady Raiders defeated No. 8-seeded Oklahoma on Friday night 104-84, but their offense was no match for the Lady Bears, whose dominant defense and willingness to share the ball gave way for the win. Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey said that it’s that kind of gameplay that makes a team successful.
“That’s what wins championships: your defense and sharing the basketball,” Mulkey said.
