WACO, Texas (Ticker) -- No. 24 Baylor looks to shake of the rust on Saturday when it hosts Texas-Arlington.

The Bears have played only two games this month, including a 90-63 drubbing against Prairie View A&M last Saturday.

LaceDarius Dunn led the way against Prairie View A&M, pouring in 18 points off the bench, hitting 4-of-8 from 3-point range.

Tweety Carter and Henry Dugat scored 17 points apiece and Curtis Jerrells added 13 and eight asssits for the Bears, who claimed the win in the opener of a season high seven-game homestand.

A meeting with Texas-Arlington should allow Baylor to ease back into its rhythm.

The Mavericks have lost three straight games, including an 81-68 setback against Marshall last Saturday, and are 1-10 all-time agianst Baylor, dropping each of the last four meetings.

Texas-Arlington is also winless in 15 games agianst ranked opponents all-time.
