WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

MAINE: Ashleigh Roberts, a 5-foot-9 guard from Concord High in Wilmington, Del., signed a letter of intent to play for the Black Bears.

Roberts is her school’s all-time leading scorer and ranks eighth in the state among girls with 1,646 career points. She averaged 23 points and 10 rebounds last season and was an all-state first team selection. She was also a McDonald’s All-America nominee.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

BAYLOR: LaceDarius Dunn, the team’s leading scorer, is returning for his senior season.

Dunn, a 6-foot-4 guard, ended any speculation that he would bypass his final year and declare for the NBA draft like 6-foot-10 power forward Ekpe Udoh did two days earlier.

“I knew everybody was holding their breath wondering what I was going to do,” Dunn said. “I think I made the right decision.”

The Bears (28-8) set a school record for victories and got within one win of making their first Final Four appearance in 60 years. Dunn was a second-time All-Big 12 pick while averaging 19.6 points and 4.8 rebounds and setting school records for points (704), 3-pointers (116) and free-throw percentage (85.7).
