WACO, Texas (AP) — Te’a Cooper scored 23 points, Queen Egbo had a career-high 21 points starting in place of injured preseason AP All-America post Lauren Cox, and No. 2 Baylor beat Houston Baptist 112-42 on Thursday night.
The defending national champion Lady Bears (3-0) won their 32nd consecutive game. They have won their three games this season by an average margin of 71 points.
Houston Baptist (2-1) had its only lead at 2-0 when Megan Valdez-Crader hit the first shot of the game only 9 seconds after the opening tip. Cooper’s 3-pointer was the first of her seven points as Baylor scored 13 consecutive points in just over two minutes.
