Men's Basketball
As good as No. 3 seed Baylor’s offense was throughout its 92-67 win over No. 14 seed Colgate on Friday afternoon in the FedExForum, the team knows its fate relies on the defensive end.
After Tchamwa Tchatchoua drilled his first career postseason 3-pointer with 1:16 to play, Sacks found his first with 22 seconds remaining. Sacks’ 3-pointer marked the 16th of the night, which tied a postseason program record and notched the 92nd point which also marked the highest scoring output for the Bears (24-10) in an NCAA Tournament game in school history.
The only team in the country to be a No. 3 seed or higher in each of the last four NCAA Tournaments, three-seeded Baylor men’s basketball did so with four new starters. Now, the Bears roll into a round of 64 matchup against No. 14 seed Colgate, which is scheduled for 11:40 a.m. on Friday at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn.
Women's Basketball
No. 19 Baylor women’s basketball left Hardin-Simmons University in shambles after a 120-41 victory in an exhibition matchup on Friday night in the Ferrell Center. The Bears shot 65% from the floor, and all 13 women who saw the floor were able to find a bucket, with five scoring double figures. On defense, the green and gold forced 26 turnovers and allowed a measly 19% field goal percentage from the visiting team.
The Bears are adding several new pieces into the mix ahead of Friday’s scrimmage against Hardin-Simmons.
The Big 12 is continuing to change and evolve through expansion, and both Baylor men’s and women’s basketball have the chance to benefit from it.

The Bears failed to get much going as they lost to the Gators. It’s Baylor’s second loss of the season.
