The Lady Raiders faced their toughest test of the season Wednesday night in the Baylor Lady Bears.

Bears coming in winners of 16 straight and the number one team in the country.

Brittney Griner got Baylor on the board tying the all time Big 12 scoring record, and she would break it on the next possession with a free throw, And then she would obliterate it throughout the night.

But Christine Hyde tried to keep it close early, and got it to within 2 with the nice drive to the hoop.

But more Griner, who put Baylor up by 10 right here at 14-4.

But Odessy Simms knocked down the jumper stretching the Baylor lead to 20-17.

But the Lady Raiders would battle back, as Kelsi Baker knocked down the three ball to pull it back within 10 at 22-12.

Then Casey Morris drilled a deep ball of her own, and the ladies were back within 6 at 29-23.

But jordan madden got into the act, knocking down the three ball.

And then right before the half, Odyssey Sims, got called for the charge, but the call is reversed, Coach Curry couldn't believe it.

 Tech was down 41-27 at the half and things would not get better from there, As Brittney Griner shattered the all-time scoring record with 40 points, as Baylor won it 90-60.
