Maupin named a WBCA All-America Honorable Mention selection
Senior Bailey Maupin was named a Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America Honorable Mention selection as announced by the organization on Thursday afternoon. Maupin, who is also one of 20 players in the country competing at the Lilly Women’s College All-Star Game on Saturday, earned the first All-American accolade of her career.
Maupin led the Lady Raiders in points per game (15.2), free throws (129), threes (69), double-figure scoring games (29) and 20-plus point games (6). Second on the team in assists (89) and third in steals (53), Maupin earned her fourth All-Big 12 honor after being named to the All-Big 12 First Team in March. Named to the All-Freshman Team in 2023 and receiving All-Big 12 Honorable Mention in 2024 and 2025, Maupin was one of just 10 unanimous honorees on the First Team.
The Gruver, Texas native ranks top-100 nationally in free throws and in free throw percentage (.843). Maupin recorded her second-straight 500-point season with 518 points in 2025-26. Maupin tallied six games with 3-plus steals and five games with 5-plus assists, while also leading the team in points 15 times this season. Maupin posted a season-high of 27 points, just one point away from her career-high, with four 3-pointers and 53.3 percent shooting from the field (8-for-15) to help the Lady Raiders defeat second-place West Virginia in Morgantown on Jan. 7. In doing so, she was named the Big 12 Player of the Week and one of the USBWA National Players of the Week for the first time in her career.
A four-year Lady Raider, Maupin will go down as one of the all-time greats in program history, ranking in the top-10 of the record book in the following categories: second in 3-pointer attempts (618), third in free throws made (486), third in free throw percentage (.835), fourth in career scoring (1,825 points), fourth in 3-pointers made (199), fifth in free throw attempts (582), seventh in field goal attempts (1,422) and 10th in field goals made (570).
