Last Time Out: vs. Kansas [Feb. 20, 2013]
Texas shot a season-best 64.6% from the field in a 93-83 victory over Kansas Wednesday night at the Frank Erwin Center. Junior Chassidy Fussell recorded a team-high 26 points on 10-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. Freshman Imani McGee-Stafford recorded her 11th double-double of the season with 18 points and 13 rebounds. The Longhorns jumped out to a blistering pace, hitting their first 10 shots from the field to take a 20-10 lead just six minutes into the game. The hot shooting continued as UT made 15 of the first 19 shots over the first 12 minutes to stretch the lead to 34-21. Fussell continued her feverish scoring streak following a 27-point output at Texas Tech on Sunday, converting 7-of-8 shots in the first half for 16 points. Kansas kept the game close, led by seniors Angel Goodrich and Carolyn Davis. Goodrich had 15 in the opening half, including three shots from long-distance, but trailed 47-35 following the first period. The Jayhawks cut the lead to six points with 1:14 remaining. An ensuing Kansas foul led to two free throws by McGee-Stafford to push the lead back to eight at the 1:06 mark. Goodrich would score one more three-pointer, but Texas shot 9-of-10 from the free throw line down the stretch to keep the lead.

Odyssey Sims scored 18 points and Brittney Griner sparked No. 1 Baylor’s game-clinching second-half run with her 13th career dunk, leading the Lady Bears to a 75-48 win over Texas in Austin.

Griner had just two points in the first half and didn’t have a rebound until midway through the second half. Griner finished with 14 points and three rebounds.
