March Madness 2025
Baylor men’s basketball returns to the Ferrell Center on Nov. 14 in its first game for the 2014-2015 season. The Bears bring with them a new team and new attitude, but one thing is constant: they want to make the NCAA tournament.
Commissioner Adam Silver announced between the 15th and 16th picks in Thursday night’s draft that the NBA would let Isaiah Austin fulfill the dream of every young player, making him a ceremonial first round pick.
Sophomore center Isaiah Austin officially announced he will forgo his final two years of college eligibility and declare for the 2014 NBA Draft. The decision came just under a month after his final college game, a loss to Wisconsin in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. How will Austin’s departure impact the Bears in 2014?
On Tuesday, sophomore center Isaiah Austin officially announced his long-expected decision to forego his final two years of eligibility at Baylor to enter the 2014 NBA Draft.
From dunking balls into baskets to dunking players into holy water, the Bears have experienced a season of immeasurable growth.
The No. 9 Baylor Lady Bears defended home court with a decisive 99-31 win over Savannah State Thursday at the Ferrell Center.
Senior guard Odyssey Sims finished with 22 points. Sophomore post Kristina Higgins had her first career double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.
The No. 9 Baylor Lady Bears will put their 60-game home winning streak on the line with a three-game home stand for the Athletes in Action Classic at the Ferrell Center.
The three-day tournament will pit the Lady Bears against Savannah State today, Northwestern State Friday and UTSA Saturday.
“You get a lot of basketball,” Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey said. “You get to continue to see a lot of combinations. We’ll attack a lot of different defenses. I’m sure we’ll see a lot of zone, and we need to do that. We need to attack zones. We need to do a better job with rebounding.”
Leadership has different forms. For senior guard Odyssey Sims, it’s all about action. Her ability to take over games and propel No. 9 Baylor Lady Bears to wins is unmatched.
Despite Sims being the only returning starter, Baylor hasn’t lost a step, winning by an average of margin of 47 points.
It was the Odyssey Sims show as the senior guard put on a dominating performance Monday, leading No. 9 Baylor to a 79-46 win at the Ferrell Center to move to 3-0 this season.
Sims finished the night with 33 points, three assists and two rebounds and outscored Rice at halftime 21-16. When head coach Kim Mulkey took Sims out, she only trailed the entire Rice team by one point. This is the fourth straight game Sims has scored more than 20 points dating back to last year’s Sweet 16 game.
In the second game of the season, the No. 9 ranked Lady Bears dominated unranked Nicholls State University with a 111-58 win on Thursday at the Ferrell Center. The Lady Bears have scored more than 110 points in every game thus far, averaging 110.5 per game.
“You just have to give Baylor the credit in terms of their personnel, the depth they have, the ability to, in a good way, they can just wear you down,” Nicholls State head coach DoBee Plaisance said. “They’re outstanding. They’re not number nine in the country for nothing.”
