Despite a 17-2 run in the fourth quarter, No. 12 Baylor women’s basketball couldn’t find its footing until too late as the Bears’ comeback effort came up short. Senior guard Jada Walker inspired the charge with a game-leading 24 points as the green and gold fell to Oregon, 76-74, on Sunday night at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene.
Walker hit 9-of-20 shots and led the Bears (1-1) with four steals. Junior forward Darianna Littlepage-Buggs tallied her first double-double of the year with 19 points on 7-for-13 shooting and a team-high 10 rebounds.
