ISO Spotlight: Darianna Littlepage-Buggs is the future of Baylor Basketball

These are weird times in Waco. Currently sitting fourth in the conference standings, Baylor looks poised to not win the Big 12 for the first time since 2010, ending a run that began about halfway through Kim Mulkey's tenure as the team's head coach and continued through the first year under Nicki Collen. But the graduation of NaLyssa Smith coupled with an injury to key transfer Aijha Blackwell has the Bears looking just a little wobblier than usual.

But don't assume that one...I was going to say bad, but that'd be inaccurate because the Bears are currently 16-7 and 7-4 in conference play. Don't assume that one year where Baylor doesn't live up to its legacy means that the Baylor dynasty is over. The future is bright at the Ferrell Center, and a big part of that is because of freshman wing Darianna Littlepage-Buggs.
