WACO, Texas -- No matter how many substitutions Baylor coach Kim Mulkey made, the lead kept growing.When the game was over, the only thing left to do was count the records.In the biggest Division I womens basketball rout ever, No. 3 Baylor overwhelmed Winthrop 140-32 Thursday.I tried and played tons of people, in and out of the lineup, called timeouts, trying to get people off the floor, Mulkey said.The Lady Bears (11-1) scored the first 21 points, led 77-18 at halftime and shut out Winthrop 29-0 in the fourth quarter.When they shook hands at the end, Eagles coach Kevin Cook told Mulkey he appreciated her efforts.I am most grateful that coach Cook recognized that.

But more importantly, I respect the game.The 108-point margin of victory surpassed the 102 set by Grambling when it beat Jarvis Christian College 139-37 in 1986.What do you say after a game like that? Cook said. Baylor has a phenomenal program, Kim is an outstanding coach, shes surrounded herself with an excellent staff.Weve played some highly ranked teams this season. And by far, Baylor is right at the top. You saw the game, you see the stats. They hurt us inside, they hurt us with 3-pointers. Theyre awfully good, he said.Mulkey began rotating her players in and out early in the first quarter. No one was on the court for more than 21 minutes and all 12 players got double-figure minutes.Baylor leading scorer Alexis Jones, whos had knee trouble, sat out for the second straight game to rest.

We were just clicking on all cylinders. As I tell them during the game, Im not looking at the score. I am looking at your defense, I am looking at turnovers, I am looking at your execution of things.I was made aware after the game of all the records. Youre happy for players who break records, and when you get a chance for them to stay in another minute to get another basket, you do it because its not always going to be that way, she said.Baylor set school single-game records for points, rebounds (75) assists (42) and blocked shots (17).Erica Williams led Winthrop with 15 points.Winthrop did best Baylor in one statistical category -- foul shooting percentage. It made 12 of 15 while the Lady Bears were 13 of 20.The Eagles keep attacking the basket the entire game and thats good, Cook said. And I thought we shot free throws pretty well. This is a young group, and were going to continue to work with them.Baylors point total was the second highest in womens Division I history, topped only by the 149 scored by Long Beach State in 1987.The biggest rout between two Division I teams in womens basketball had been in 1989 when Louisiana Tech topped Texas-Pan American 126-25.Last month, in an exhibition game, powerful Maryland beat Division II Bluefield State 146-17.Baylor won its previous game 90-24 over Texas State.The crowd of 6,440 at the Ferrell Center was boosted by a large contingent of kids from elementary schools, and they saw Baylor rushed to a 38-6 lead in the first quarter.Lauren Cox and Alexis Prince both scored 23 points for Baylor. Kalani Brown had a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Beatrice Mompremier had 16 rebounds.Danyael Goodhope added 10 for Winthrop.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Charlotte reserve center Spencer Hawes walked by the lockers of Hornets guards Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb with words of praise.Way to play, Huskies, Hawes said.The UConn duo of Walker and Lamb scored 21 points apiece, helping Charlotte build an early lead and coast to a 104-85 victory Monday night over the Memphis Grizzlies.Lamb provided a boost in the first half with a pair of 3-pointers off the bench to erase an early Memphis advantage, and Walker added steady scoring throughout the night. They were a combined 14 of 25 from the field, including 7 for 13 on 3-point attempts.I just tried to bring energy. When youre coming off the bench, you always want to bring energy, Lamb said.Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 14 points and Frank Kaminsky added 12 for the Hornets, who won their second straight after a four-game losing streak.Marc Gasol led Memphis with 19 points and eight rebounds. Mike Conley had 14 points before leaving in the third quarter with a lower back injury.I was feeling like today was a day we could come in here and get a home win, said Memphis guard Tony Allen, who had nine points and two steals. This was a winnable game, and it took me by surprise.The largest scoring discrepancy in the game was at the free throw line, where the Hornets converted 23 of 31. Meanwhile, Memphis was 6 of 13, a difference that agitated the Grizzlies much of the night.Charlotte, which already led by 19 in the first half, extended the lead in the third quarter as Memphis became unhinged complaining about calls and relying -- mostly unsuccessfully -- on 3-pointers to try to get back in the game.And when Conley went to the locker room, it led to more disorganized play from Memphis.That hurt them a lot. He just brings so much for their team. Hes their leader, Walker said.TIP-INSHornets: G Nicolas Batum, who missed Saturdays win over the Knicks with a corneal abrasion, returned to action and started.

He had 18 against the Knicks on Saturday. In addition to his 21 points vs. Memphis, he grabbed nine rebounds. (Im) just trying to lean on my teammates and my hard work. Everybody is encouraging me, Lamb said, later adding: Over the summer, I really tried to work on my mindset, whether things are going good or bad.SWEET REVENGEMemphis defeated the Hornets 105-90 in Charlotte on Nov. 21, and Walker remembered the bitter taste after the Grizzlies scored 69 first-half points and held a 25-point cushion at the break. They came to our house and beat us, and we wanted to come back and get this win back, he said. We didnt play the way we were capable of that night, and they brought it to us. They beat us up pretty bad. It was definitely a revenge game in my mind.CONLEY OUTConley left with 8:25 left in the third quarter after taking a charge from Kidd-Gilchrist and did not return.
