Overview
- Baylor, ranked No. 22, edged previously unbeaten No. 10 Iowa State 72-70 in Ames after Taliah Scott hit the go-ahead shot with 2.9 seconds remaining.
- Coach Nicki Collen committed to fronting and doubling Audi Crooks while helping off Jada Williams to choke off post entries and control who shot.
- Audi Crooks totaled 26 points and 10 rebounds but managed only four after halftime and went scoreless in the fourth quarter as touches dried up.
- Jada Williams tallied a career-high 28 points on 11-of-28 shooting, while the rest of Iowa State combined for 16 points on 5-of-23 from the field.
- On the final play, a post entry intended for Crooks was deflected as time expired, ending Iowa State's perfect start; next, Baylor hosts Colorado on Thursday and Iowa State visits Cincinnati on Wednesday.
