March Madness 2025
When Baylor and Texas tip off at 8 p.m. Saturday, head coach Scott Drew will watch from the bench knowing the importance of the game on several levels. “I don’t know if there’s ever been a bigger regular season college game in Baylor’s school history,” Drew said. “[ESPN’s] College GameDay is as big as it gets. It’s obviously a much-needed game for us win-wise.”
Jan. 29 was a sad day for Baylor basketball. I’m not talking about the scoreboard, which showed a 70-66 win over Colorado, nor am I talking about how the Bears’ 17-point comeback transpired on the court.
It’s been a while since the Baylor Lariat, the university’s student newspaper, has seen so many letters to the editor on a single topic. Current students, alumni and faculty all want us to spread the word about ESPN’s College GameDay coming to Waco.
Baylor’s path to the NCAA tournament became exponentially more difficult after falling 71-60 to Oklahoma State on Tuesday night in Stillwater, Okla.
Baylor’s NCAA tournament hopes are hanging by a thread. It’s just a thread, but after Saturday, the Bears are still alive.
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.
