No. 5 Baylor women’s basketball captured a share of their 12th-consecutive Big 12 regular season title with an 87-62 beatdown of No. 9 Iowa State University Monday night at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. Head coach Nicki Collen said this moment showcased the squad’s resiliency as they’re the first team since Texas Tech University in 2000 to start conference play 0-2 and go on to win a Big 12 title.
“It’s the expectation here,” Collen said. “The pressure was on, we were picked to win it. We were 0-2 [in conference] and everyone was counting us out and saying we were vulnerable.
