In a significant blow to 13th-ranked Baylor, leading scorer Taliah Scott left the game against No. 2 Texas after suffering an apparent ankle injury. The sophomore transfer from Auburn, who averaged 23.8 points per game, was in obvious pain when she remained on the floor after her right foot turned awkwardly on a defender's foot during a move towards the basket. Scott, who was set to be evaluated upon returning home, was helped off the court and did not return to the game. Bears coach Nicki Collen expressed concern over the injury, stating that it was a lower leg issue but did not provide further details. The incident occurred midway through the second quarter, and Baylor went on to suffer an 89-54 loss to the Longhorns. Scott, who was averaging 23.8 points per game, had nine points in 14 minutes before exiting the game. Her absence was felt, as she was the second-leading scorer in the Big 12 Conference. The extent of her injury and potential return to play remain uncertain.
