March Madness 2025
The regular season for both the men’s and women’s basketball teams are coming to a close, as both have only five conference games left.
Members of the NCAA men’s basketball selection committee meet in Indianapolis this week for a mock tournament trial run that will mostly involve throwing up their hands in advance of this year’s free-for-all.
There is a new player atop Baylor’s career scoring leaderboard. With a left-handed layup in the Bears’ Tuesday night matchup with Wayland Baptist, senior LaceDarius Dunn notched his 2,190th point in a Baylor uniform and cemented his already well-documented place in Baylor basketball history.
Late in Saturday’s game against No. 3 Texas at the Erwin Center, Baylor needed a Herculean performance from somebody if it wanted any chance at scoring the upset. Senior LaceDarius Dunn gave the Bears just that with 22 second half points, but his team’s late comeback fell short in a 69-60 loss to the Longhorns.
Freshman Tristan Thompson had 17 points and 13 rebounds and No. 3 Texas held off a furious rally by LaceDarius Dunn and Baylor to remain undefeated in the Big 12 with a 69-60 victory Saturday.
If there was any question why the Baylor Lady Bears have held the No. 1 spot for five weeks, they were all answered Wednesday night in Waco as the Lady Bears continued their winning streak of now 17 games, dominating the Oklahoma Sooners 92-70.
Overcoming a Reed Arena crowd and a No. 5/6 Aggie squad may have been the toughest conference challenge for Baylor this season, but the Lady Bears should not expect a much easier foe when they host No. 13 Oklahoma at 7 p.m. today at the Ferrell Center.
The swagger of being No. 1. The pride of being the trend-setter throughout the league. The discipline of knowing you have a target on your back but not letting it hinder your play.
The Lady Bears showed why they sit at No. 1 in the country Sunday afternoon, overcoming a No. 5/6 Texas A&M squad 63-60 in front of a record Reed Arena crowd who could not have asked for much more from two of the country’s best teams.
