No. 4-ranked Baylor women’s basketball came away with two wins from the Southpoint Thanksgiving Shootout on Friday and Saturday in Las Vegas.
The Lady Bears (6-0) got a big performance from junior forward Lauren Cox in Friday’s 72-66 win over South Dakota State. Cox scored 28 points on 11-for-18 shooting from the field, while also grabbing 10 rebounds to help Baylor pull away for the win.
The Lady Bears held a slim three point lead at halftime, but late in the fourth quarter, Cox hit her third three-pointer of the game to give Baylor a 10 point lead.
