PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Nicki Collen has built Baylor Women's Basketball into a Big 12 Conference power, guiding the program to a 22-5 overall record that includes a dominant 15-3 mark in Waco at Adidas Arena. The Bears score 73.0 points per game while holding opponents to 58.9, demonstrating the defensive intensity that has become characteristic of this program. Baylor's 9-2 conference record positions the team among the Big 12's elite, sustained by Collen's focus on recruiting and developing players who can execute on both ends of the floor.

Located in Waco at a university founded in 1845 among a student body of 20,626, Baylor competes at the elite Division I level with a 13-player roster built for sustainable success. The Bears' 7-2 away record shows they can win in challenging environments outside their home arena, an essential quality for conference play that typically determines tournament seeding. This combination of strong home dominance, respectable road performance, and balanced scoring gives Collen's team multiple paths to postseason success.
