Coming off a big road victory against Oklahoma State, Baylor jumps back into conference play against Texas Tech at 7 p.m. today at the Ferrell Center.
Although Tech’s record (6-13, 0-8) may indicate it is an inferior team to Baylor (16-3, 6-1), the Lady Raiders are a team with grit and determination.
Baylor looked like one of the best teams in the nation a few weeks ago. Baylor’s only loss coming into conference play was against Syracuse, a team now ranked No. 2 in the nation. Baylor is falling right out of the conversation for the NCAA Tournament and that was accentuated Tuesday night in Waco.
By Chris Lee Los Angeles Times via McClatchy-Tribune LOS ANGELES — To the pop cognoscenti, the French dance-music duo Daft Punk exists as an ideal, modern musicdom’s most consistent, influential, enigmatic trailblazer, in addition to being crowned the major winner of the 2014 Grammy Awards by scoring record of the year and album of the year trophies. But to another section of the population — those willfully ignorant of this year’s Coachella lineup, for instance — the question Sunday might have been: Who were those masked robots? Thanks to Daft Punk’s abiding silence at the awards podium, its members’ identities…

Student Senate is seeking to fill six more vacant seats this semester.
Arlington junior Dominic Edwards, student body internal vice president, said it is imperative these positions be filled so that the Student Senate can function in the way that its constitution requires.
When attending one of the most prestigious and expensive universities in America, it’s important for students to make sure they are getting the best education possible from instructors who will meet their needs.
Baylor Stadium or McLane Stadium, the name attached to our new football field should not be the center of a debate on whether to ‘thank’ the McLane family.
As an observer sitting in the Student Senate meeting last Thursday, I was confounded as senior student senator Trenton Garza explained students’ view on this move to be somewhat “controversial” on the part of our university regents. Garza essentially argued that the bill, “thanking” the McLane family for their generous donation by using the McLane moniker on the stadium, should not be passed because the use of his namesake was not a condition of the McLane family’s philanthropic deed.

Baylor overcame No. 8 Oklahoma State’s second-half comeback, and a frantic overtime period, to beat the conference leaders 69-66 on Sunday.

By Kat Worrall Reporter After the viral Pinterest success of one tribal print sweater, Baylor alumnae Katie Henry and Emily Rawls have continued to use the social media site to boost their online fashion store, Paizlee. Henry and Rawls, who graduated from Baylor in May 2008, started Paizlee as a “hobby” from their real jobs. They enjoyed fashion, liked the idea of getting clothes at a wholesale price and decided online sales was a good place to start. Henry and Rawls began Paizlee primarily on support from friends and family, as well as with a small advertising budget. A big…
