Famous OBF Quote: “The Lady Bears won in West Virginia last week by 35 points.”
Man Bears Basketball
"Press Virginia is real."
Those were the words of Baylor sophomore guard Jake Lindsey after the top-ranked Bears (15-1, 3-1) turned it over 29 times in an 89-68 blowout loss Tuesday night before a rocking sellout crowd of 14,632 at WVU Coliseum. Story by Jerry Hill of the Baylor Bear Foundation from Baylor Bears dot com.
Playing its first game ever as the No. 1-ranked team in the country, Baylor had its most turnovers in a Big 12 game and came within two of the school record set against the Arkansas Razorbacks' "40 Minutes of Hell" defense in 1991.
"Top to bottom, we didn't do a good job handling (the press) with our head up," said Lindsey, who had three turnovers to go with four points, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes. "You've got to punish the press. You've got to go at them. You can't let them press you relentlessly without making them pay for it, or else it wears you down."

- Look no further than 90 seconds into the Lady Bears’ 86-50 win on Saturday at Oklahoma State for evidence of exactly how much things have changed for Baylor sophomore Kalani Brown this season. From WacoTrib.
The sequence went like this: Oklahoma State center Kaylee Jensen, Brown’s defensive assignment and the Big 12’s leading scorer and rebounder, missed a long jumper. Baylor’s Alexis Prince grabbed the rebound and sent a long, outlet pass sailing up the court … and into the hands of the 6-foot-7 Brown, streaking to the basket for a layup and a 4-0 lead.
The play turned heads everywhere in Gallagher-Iba Arena except on the bench for No. 2 Baylor, where they’re growing used to seeing Brown do the extraordinary.
