The Baylor Bears fell to the Iowa State Cyclones 79-71 Saturday night in Ames, Iowa. With the loss, Baylor falls to 5-3 in the Big 12 and now has a two-game losing streak. Iowa State has won its eleventh straight conference game at home in James H. Hilton Coliseum.

Baylor recorded its 13th straight 20-win season as senior center Brittney Griner had another double-double, with 30 points, 10 rebounds, a career high seven assists and three blocks to help the No. 1 Lady Bears defeat No. 19 Oklahoma State 81-62.

When Hurricane Katrina stormed across the Southeast, thousands of people were forced to leave their homes and relocate across the United States.

Families were uprooted from their lives in a matter of days and had to start over again in a new place. Junior sprinter and jumper Justine Charbonnet of the Baylor women’s track and field team was one of many affected by the devastation New Orleans faced in 2005. Although leaving her home so abruptly was hard, Charbonnet’s story ends well.

The Baylor Bears will travel to Ames, Iowa on Saturday to take on an Iowa State team that is undefeated at home in Big 12 Conference play.

The Bears were off to an exceptional start in big 12 play but faltered against Oklahoma to lose their first Big 12 home game. Baylor looks to regain momentum by giving Iowa State its first loss at James H. Hilton Coliseum.

The Baylor Bears fell to the Oklahoma Sooners 74-71 in a thrilling Big 12 Conference game on Wednesday night at the Ferrell Center.

The Bears came out in the first half and played lethargic basketball. They only managed 26 first-half points. Oklahoma, on the other hand, shot 53 percent from the field in the first half and surmounted a convincing 12-point lead going into the half, 38-26. The Bears only held the lead one time in the contest and that was early in the game with a 4-2 advantage.

It only took a couple of seconds for senior center Brittney Griner to break the Big 12 scoring record.

She scored the first four points of the game as the No. 1 Baylor Lady Bears defeated Texas Tech 90-60 on Wednesday. She now has a Big 12 record 2,835 career points.

Along with VCRs, fanny packs and Rosie O’Donnell, the great sport of tennis has been an American afterthought for years. This is a sad fact, because the excitement of the game goes far beyond a recorded episode of “The View.”

The Baylor Bears will have a showdown tonight against the Oklahoma Sooners at 6 p.m. in the Ferrell Center.

The two teams are opposites in many ways. The Sooners boast frontline experience and talent but lack depth in the backcourt.

While the Bears are experienced in the backcourt with senior guards Pierre Jackson and A.J. Walton, they lack experience in the frontcourt with freshman center Isaiah Austin.
