From freshman phenom to senior heartbeat, Darianna Littlepage-Buggs has stacked double-doubles, big-time accolades and steady dominance across four seasons in green and gold. Her climb has already placed her among Baylor women’s basketball greats — and her story, her impact and her legacy are still unfolding.
