Losing is never easy, especially when you’re accustomed to winning. Such is the case for No. 15 Baylor women’s basketball, which created an expectation of success under the reign of Kim Mulkey.

However, this season, after a rough month filled with adversity, Baylor sits at 12-4 with a 2-2 record in Big 12 matchups.
One of the challenges that made the past month difficult for head coach Nicki Collen and her squad was a COVID-19 outbreak at the start of the new year that caused them to have a complete shutdown of all activities for six days and postpone two games.
