Sports news from The Baylor Lariat.
Sophomore jumper Felix Obi led the Baylor Bears to personal and national records this past weekend at the University of Kentucky’s Rod McCravy Memorial meet at Nutter Field House.
Baylor men and women showcased their talents, especially Obi, who won the triple jump event. Obi broke his own record as well as set a new school record.
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.

Baylor had lost only one game to a team in the state of Texas since the beginning of the 2011-12 basketball season. That dominance would came to an end after No. 12 Baylor (13-3, 1-2) lost on Wednesday night to the unranked Texas Tech Red Raiders (9-8, 1-3) in Lubbock by a score of 82-72.
Since the beginning of the 2011-12 season, Baylor has been the most dominant basketball power in the state of Texas. In that span, the Bears have posted a record of 19-1 against teams from the state of Texas. No. 12 Baylor (13-2, 1-1) will put it all on the line as they travel to Lubbock to play in-state conference rival Texas Tech (8-8, 0-3) on Wednesday night.
The No. 7 Baylor Lady Bears (14-2) lost 66-55 to No. 1 Connecticut (18-0) on Monday at the Ferrell Center. The loss ended a 69-game home winning streak that stretched back to March 7, 2010. The Bears’ only two losses this season have come at the hands of top five teams.
Baylor’s 52-42 loss to the University of Central Florida in the Fiesta Bowl can be summed up pretty concisely. After looking at the stat sheet, the number of penalties and penalty yards stand out. What the stat sheet doesn’t show, however, is the number of missed tackles that helped UCF get the ball down the field.
No. 6 Baylor football came into the 43rd annual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl as double-digit favorites over No. 15 University of Central Florida. By the time the dust cleared, UCF had pulled one of the biggest upsets of the year with a 52-42 win over the Bears on New Year’s Day.
The 43rd annual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl features No. 6 Baylor (11-1, 8-1), champions of the Big 12, against No. 15 University of Central Florida (11-1, 8-0) from the American Athletic Conference. At the half, Baylor trails UCF 28-20.
