The Baylor women’s basketball team (5-1) won the Junkanoo Jam title this past weekend, in Bimini, Bahamas beating out both the Missouri State Lady Bears (1-4) and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (6-1).

The No. 8 Lady Bears started the weekend outscoring the Missouri State Lady Bears 100-58. Baylor’s charge was led by sophomore forward Lauren Cox who had 18 points, 10 rebounds, seven blocks, three assists, and three steals. Cox missed the Bear’s loss at UCLA last Saturday due to complications with her diabetes.

Baylor’s head women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey said that it was nice to see Cox back after battling with her health.
