March Madness 2025
Injury-riddled and coming off an overtime loss, the Bears return to Foster Pavilion in need of some momentum.
Freshmen led the way for both teams, as Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe (28 points) and Robert O. Wright III (22 points) and BYU’s Kanon Catchings (23 points) led their respective teams in scoring.
After a 15-point win against Utah on Saturday, the Bears find themselves clashing with a sharpshooting BYU offense in one of the most intimidating environments in the Big 12.
The fifth-year big man became the 13th player in NCAA history with 2,000 points and 1,500 rebounds.
VJ Edgecombe scored a career-high 30 points, becoming the first Baylor men’s basketball freshman to do so since Keyonte George scored 32 against West Virginia on Jan. 11, 2023, as the Bears rallied back from a 12 point deficit to take down Kansas State, 70-62, Wednesday night at Foster Pavilion.
In a hard-fought contest, the Bears came up just short against the Cyclones in the quarterfinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship.
The Bears outscored the Lady Raiders 19-10 in the fourth quarter to secure the 11-point victory in the second round of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship.
While the Foster Pavilion has been a needed and welcomed new fan experience for Baylor men’s and women’s basketball, finding a seat has been a chore for students. From a lack of abundance to a hard-to-navigate process to get in the door, students feel the process is more than they bargained for.
No. 21 Baylor women’s basketball, led by senior guard Jana Van Gytenbeek’s career-high 19 points, made quick work of Cincinnati by a score of 74-53 on Tuesday evening in the Fifth Third Arena in Cincinnati.
Suzie Snider Eppers holds Baylor women’s basketball’s career points (3,861) and rebounds (2,176) all-time records.
