WACO, Texas (AP) — When Chloe Jackson scored the last of her 24 points, she was responsible for half of top-ranked Baylor's scoring — and was still single-handily outscoring Oklahoma.

Jackson's last basket came midway through the third quarter and the Lady Bears rolled to their 36th consecutive Big 12 Conference victory, 87-53 on Saturday night.

A look at the upcoming week around the Big 12 Conference.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Devonte Bandoo scored 19 points and Baylor ended a two-game losing streak with a 59-53 victory over Oklahoma on Monday night.

Bandoo was 5 for 7 from 3-point range to lead a Baylor bench that outscored Oklahoma's reserves 24-7 to sweep the season series. The Bears won the first meeting 77-47 on Jan. 28 in Norman, Oklahoma.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Cartier Diarra had just hit a 3-pointer to put Kansas State back ahead at Baylor when coach Bruce Weber called a timeout.

Weber wanted to get his team reorganized defensively, telling them to get some stops and finish the last six minutes of the game right.

The Wildcats got the message and are now alone atop the Big 12 standings.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Kalani Brown had some key stretches for No. 1 Baylor while scoring a season-high 32 points.

Brown finished 11-of-12 shooting and made all 10 of her free throws, including two quick five-point efforts as the Lady Bears stretched their Big 12 winning streak to 34 in a row with an 89-71 victory over TCU on Saturday.

"When I get an and-one, it sparks a lot of energy," Brown said. "Just trying to change the momentum back on our side. I think I did a good job on that."

A look at the upcoming week around the Big 12 Conference.

GAME OF THE WEEKEND: Kansas State at Baylor. The Wildcats vaulted into first place in the league with a 74-67 win over Kansas in Manhattan on Tuesday night, and a win in Waco would make them a clear favorite to win the conference. Baylor had won six straight heading into Wednesday's game at Texas. The Longhorns gave No. 17 Iowa State a major scare before falling 65-60 in Ames last weekend.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Makai Mason got the ball right back from a teammate after passing it away, and hit a 3-pointer. There was a blocked shot that led to another 3, and then Baylor's guard drew a charge that he immediately followed by making yet another long-range shot.

Mason made nine 3-pointers, the most by a Big 12 player this season, and scored a career-high 40 points as the Bears stretched their winning streak to six games with a 90-64 victory over rival TCU on Saturday night.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Kalani Brown and Moon Ursin set the tone early for Baylor in its first home game in nearly six years as the No. 1 team. The five freshmen for the Lady Bears showed late how they are improving for coach Kim Mulkey.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Chloe Jackson took an unusual path to being the starting point guard for top-ranked Baylor and coach Kim Mulkey.

Jackson was a graduate transfer last summer after two seasons as a shooting guard at LSU. She was a standout soccer player who also loved basketball in high school, and if not for a rare earthquake affecting her home state of Maryland then, she might now be kicking balls somewhere instead running the floor for the nation's top women's basketball team.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor forward Mario Kegler woke up ready to face Alabama after sitting out a season following his transfer from Mississippi State.

This ending was better than the three he remembers from his freshman year.

Kegler scored 17 points and Makai Mason had 13 along with the bucket that put the Bears ahead for good in a 73-68 victory over the Crimson Tide in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge on Saturday.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Lauren Cox ended the first half for second-ranked Baylor with a 3-pointer from the right corner, part of spurt that put the Lady Bears ahead to stay against Iowa State.

Baylor kept pulling away after the break, quickly pushing to a double-digit lead when the 6-foot-4 Cox made a strong inside move for a reverse layup less than two minutes into second half.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Kalani Brown turned the ball over once and missed a couple easy shots in the first few minutes Sunday.

That earned Baylor's senior All-America center a seat on coach Kim Mulkey's bench. But when Brown returned to the game less than a minute later, she did so with a different mentality, started making shots and the Lady Bears fed off that.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Freshman guard Jared Butler was a late arrival at Baylor. The top recruit originally chose Alabama and began last summer there, before he got his release, and a waiver to play somewhere else this season.

Butler is now starting and getting comfortable in the Big 12.

"He was fearless, played with courage, looked like he was having a lot of fun out there," Texas Tech coach Chris Beard said.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Lagerald Vick did on his 22nd birthday for No. 7 Kansas what he also does in so many other games. He made some big 3-pointers, even if the ending was a bit shaky.

Vick scored 18 points with six 3-pointers before a couple of late turnovers as the Jayhawks held on for a 73-68 win at Baylor on Saturday.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor forward Tristan Clark, the national leader shooting 74 percent from the field, will miss the rest of the season after surgery on his left knee.

The Bears made the announcement about the 6-foot-9 sophomore before Saturday's home game against No. 7 Kansas. It came four days after Clark scored 16 points while playing 34 minutes in a home win over No. 20 Iowa State.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor showed a bit of fatigue when playing its third game in a seven-day stretch that coach Kim Mulkey described as an emotional and physical roller-coaster.

The fourth-ranked Lady Bears still turned up the defensive pressure in time to win their Big 12 home opener and wrap up a span that began with a win over then-No. 1 UConn.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Makai Mason is getting more aggressive on the floor for Baylor, wanting to take shots and chasing after loose balls.

Mason scored a season-high 25 points, including five free throws in the final 38 seconds, and the Bears held on for a 73-70 victory over No. 20 Iowa State on Tuesday night.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Kalani Brown knows No. 8 Baylor can't get complacent after ending top-ranked UConn's 126-game regular-season winning streak.

That big win, though, gave a glimpse of what is possible if the Lady Bears keep playing that way.

"The energy we had was crazy," said Brown, the 6-foot-7 senior post player who had 22 points and 17 rebounds against the Huskies. "If we play every game like that, there's no telling where we may end up."

WACO, Texas (AP) — UConn All-America players Katie Lou Samuelson and Naphessa Collier won a national title and went to two other Final Fours before experiencing this. The team's only seniors are coming off a loss in the regular season for the first time.

The top-ranked Huskies' 126-game regular-season winning streak that stretched over five seasons ended with a 68-57 loss at No. 8 Baylor on Thursday night.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Geno Auriemma knew that top-ranked UConn couldn't keep winning every regular-season game it played, even though the Huskies had won 126 in a row.

That winning streak of more than four years ended with a 68-57 loss Thursday night at No. 8 Baylor, which won against a No. 1 team for the first time.

WACO, Texas (AP) — No. 8 Baylor could have easily overlooked Texas-Rio Grande Valley with a looming showdown against top-ranked Connecticut.

The Lady Bears, playing for the first time since losing their last game two weeks ago, made it clear within the first few minutes of their New Year's Eve matinee that wasn't going to happen.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor beat its second Pac-12 opponent in a week, helping erase the disappointment that came between those quality wins.

Makai Mason had 14 points with some key second-half baskets as the Bears beat Oregon 57-47 after holding off a big comeback by the Ducks on Friday — six nights after Baylor's impressive win at Arizona and three nights after losing at home on Stephen F. Austin's game-ending layup.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Shannon Bogues had quite a homecoming for Stephen F. Austin against a Baylor team coming off an impressive road victory.

Bogues made a driving layup at the buzzer for the last of his 21 points Tuesday night as the Lumberjacks won 59-58 at Baylor, which only three nights earlier won by nine points at Arizona to end the Wildcats' 52-game home nonconference winning streak.

"As exciting as our last game was is as disappointing as this game was," Baylor coach Scott Drew said.
