One top 25 women’s basketball team has to have its undefeated record snapped when No. 2 Baylor and No. 22 Southern Florida face each other today.

The Bulls come into Waco hot with a 4-0 record with wins over Jacksonville, No. 15 Texas, Howard and Virginia Commonwealth. Southern Florida averages 73.3 points per game with a .412 shot average from the field with the help of junior forward Bethy Mununga, who leads the team with a .719 shooting average (23-32) and 10.8 rebounds a game.

Baylor’s defense, on the other hand, has held its opponents to an average of 39 points and, according to head coach Kim Mulkey, will have to focus on performing with a dominant defensive effort.
