WACO, Texas -- When Baylor coach Kim Mulkey saw how well North Carolina A&T played against No. 12 Texas A&M on Sunday, she didn't know what to expect on Wednesday.
What she got was an 80-percent first-half shooting performance by her Lady Bears en route to an 89-48 win. The Lady Bears shot 60 percent for the game.
Rachel Allison scored a career-high 28 points and Angela Tisdale hit five 3-pointers and scored 22 for No. 9 Baylor (11-1). The Lady Bears used a 31-4 run early in the game to put it out of reach. Tisdale hit two 3s during the stretch.
After leading Texas A&M by four late in the game before eventually losing 74-65 on Sunday, A&T coach Patricia Cage-Bibbs was at a loss trying to explain her team's contrasting performances in the last two games.

The Aggies return to Cal Irvin-Don Corbett Court on January 12 to face Morgan State, which will be their first home conference game of the season.
The Aggies Coach Patricia Cage-Bibbs became the 38th active women's basketball coach to record 400 career wins and just the second women’s basketball coach to do it at an HBCU. Cage-Bibbs milestone came on November 23, 2007, in a convincing 88-62 win over UNC Asheville.
On top of all that, she has all but rebuilt her third women’s basketball program in twenty-three years of coaching. She is a 1972 graduate of Grambling State University and is in her third season leading the Aggies women basketball program.
