March Madness 2025
Unless your spring break destination was somewhere televisions don’t yet exist, such as the moon, the Shire, or College Station, you are probably aware the Baylor men’s basketball team has reached the Sweet 16.
The basket was as wide as the ocean for Brady Heslip, and because of that, the future looks as bright as those uniforms for the Baylor Bears.
I know it hurts now Baylor fans. The men’s basketball team created some attention and momentum with its play in the first two games of the tournament, and it seems like Missouri took it away in one fell swoop.
No. 11 Baylor men’s basketball finished runner-up in the 2012 Big 12 tournament after losing to the Missouri Tigers 90-75. Baylor was led by sophomore Perry Jones III, who finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
Baylor men’s basketball stunned the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks in the semifinals of the Big 12 Championship tournament 81-72. Every Baylor starter scored in double figures, but sophomore Perry Jones III led the Bears with 18 points and seven rebounds.
Brittney Griner and top-ranked Baylor aren’t just winning every game they play. They’re making each one a blowout.
Brittney Griner had 28 points and 10 rebounds, Kimetria Hayden scored a season-high 20 points and top-ranked Baylor remained perfect this season by beating Oklahoma State 83-51 on Wednesday night.
Every Big 12 South women’s basketball team that has ventured into Gallagher-Iba Arena this season has lost.
I have been patient long enough with Baylor fans. I have even gone so far as to defend them.
As “Big 12” chants echoed through the Ferrell Center Saturday, the No. 1 Lady Bears bid adieu to the No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies from Waco, winning 71-48.
