March Madness 2025
Baylor basketball is in a free-fall. After a dominant 12-1 nonconference slate and top seven ranking to open the season, the Bears have dropped eight of their 10 Big 12 games.
This is how the entire season has felt for Baylor, isn’t it?
Baylor had all the opportunity in the world. They brought the lead down to three with 12:56 left in the game. They had three free throws to bring it to three again, all of which they missed. But at the end of the day, the Bears (14-8, 2-7) could not capitalize on their chances in a 69-52 loss to No. 8 Kansas (17-5, 8-1) at home.
We knew that the Big 12 had a chance to be improved, but no one thought it would be this good. Out of the 32 college basketball conferences in Division I, the Big 12 has the number one conference RPI thanks to impressive wins in nonconference play against the likes of Duke, Kentucky, Colorado and Michigan among others.
Fans knew there was something different about Isaiah Austin’s eyes. You could see it when he played. It was hard to place exactly what, but it was obvious. On Jan. 18, Austin made everything clear in a feature that aired on ESPN’s College Gameday.
Isaiah Austin, former five-star prospect, All-Big 12 and future NBA player, is blind in his right eye.
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.
After the unveilings of its three 2012-2013 banners, No. 10 Baylor Lady Bears kicked off its regular season with a 110-55 win over the Grambling State Lady Tigers Saturday at the Ferrell Center.
The Lady Bears 55-point victory was the largest margin of victory in a season opener under Baylor Head Coach Kim Mulkey. Senior guard Odyssey Sims led the team with 28 points, four rebounds, four assists and five steals.
The No. 10 Baylor Lady Bears defeated the Oklahoma City Stars 91-49 Tuesday at the Ferrell Center.
Senior guard Odyssey Sims led the team 23 points, four rebounds and four assists with freshman post Khadijiah Cave adding 11 points and 11 rebounds for her first career double-double.
Baylor’s defense fueled its offense as the Baylor Lady Bears cruised to a 111-52 win in an exhibition game over Palm Beach Atlantic on Wednesday. Senior point guard Odyssey Sims led the team with 21 points, eight rebounds, six assists and five steals.
Without Brittney Griner and last year’s seniors in the lineup, this was a different Baylor team, but it showed its fight as all 11 players scored in the game.
Baylor senior guard Odyssey Sims was 2013 World University Games MVP, three-time Wade Watch list candidate and participant in the USA Women’s National Team mini-camp.
The World University Games are equivalent to the Olympics for collegiate athletes and Sims had the opportunity to play for Team USA at this summer’s games in Russia.
