The best of Big 12 women's basketball gets underway in January. No. 10 Iowa State faces No. 22 Baylor in the first matchup of the year.
The Cyclones are yet to lose a game this season, defeating Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and Houston for a perfect start. It's all thanks to junior sensation Audi Crooks, who's averaging 29.4 points and 65 rebounds per game. Addy Brown and transfer Jada Williams round out the big three to create a nationally contending team.
The Bears, however, have struggled as of late, losing to Texas and Texas Tech within a week. Still, Baylor is a team that knows how to bounce back, as seen by their first Big 12 win over Oklahoma State. Led by Taliah Scott, the only player to average double-digit points in 21.1, she'll need a big night if Baylor wants to upset Iowa State.
Last season, the Bears won the regular season and conference tournament game. Can the Cyclones remain perfect and defend their home court?
