NATHAN KEIL Sports Writer

The Baylor Lady Bears took a step back in their quest for another Big 12 regular season championship Monday night when they were stunned at home by Texas 85-79 in front of a crowd of 7,054 at the Ferrell Center. The loss snapped Baylor’s 21-game winning streak this season, its 51-game winning streak at the Ferrell Center and a 14-game winning streak over the Longhorns. All three streaks came crashing down on Monday, as the Longhorns shot 52 percent from the field and four scored in double figures. However, Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey said that records and streaks are only temporary and do not define the Lady Bears. “I don’t know if it stings these kids. I don’t know if anything stings kids. I didn’t see a tear shed in that locker room,” Mulkey said. “We’ve got to move on. Streaks don’t last forever. It’s just part of the nature of athletics.” The loss was a hard one to swallow, but the hope for another Big 12 regular season championship did not dwindle away as the clock Penelope Shirey | Lariat Photographer ran out at the Ferrell Center ABOVE THE REST Baylor senior forward Nina Davis goes for a layup against the Oklahoma Sooners on Jan. 29 in Waco.
