The Baylor women’s basketball team entered this season as defending national champions and continued its success with a Big 12 championship and a 28-2 record entering postseason play.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Big 12 and NCAA cancelled the remainder of the season for all winter and spring sports. This included the women’s basketball Big 12 and national tournaments.

The news came as a shock to the Lady Bears, who had been getting ready to play in the Big 12 tournament when the news arrived. It especially affected the seniors on the team, who may have played their last game for Baylor without knowing it.
