MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Freshman post players Beatrice Mompremier and Kalani Brown are giving No. 4 Baylor a lift heading into the latter part of the Big 12 schedule.
Mompremier had 16 points and 15 rebounds, and Brown had 11 points in the Lady Bears' 71-61 win over No. 24 West Virginia on Saturday.
Coach Kim Mulkey has started Mompremier in six straight games, and the 6-4 post has averaged nearly nine points and seven rebounds in that span.
"I have more confidence in myself now that she believes in me," Mompremier said.
Mulkey interrupted Mompremier in the postgame news conference, pointing out that confidence comes with time.
