🏀: The Full Preview

🔼 Double Trouble. For three months, Yves Missi thrilled the Foster Pavilion crowd during his time at Baylor.

Now, he’s thrilling NBA crowds and on Monday night, he had his best outing yet of his very young pro career, piling up 17 points and 10 rebounds in the Pelicans tight home loss to the Brooklyn Nets.

Eleven games into his rookie season, MIssi is averaging 6.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 assists in just 22 minutes a game.

🔼 Preseason Praise. For the second time in the past three years, a Bear finds himself on the Sporting News Preseason All-America squad.

Announced on Monday, VJ Edgecombe was named to the Third Team by the publication.
 
The Preseason Big 12 Freshman of the Year joined fellow Baylor freshman phenom Keyonte George, who was named to the preseason second team in 2022-23. With just two games under his belt, Edgecombe has already claimed a laundry list of preseason accolades, including the Jerry West Award Watch List, Naismith Trophy Watch List and the Wooden Award Preseason Top 50.

🏀: The Full Story

🔼 Pro Bears. The NFL pipeline from Waco continues to be strong.

This past weekend, the former Bears shined yet again on the biggest stage.

Terrel Bernard had a big day for the Buffalo Bills with nine tackles, 1.5 TFLs and one pass deflection in his squad’s 30-20 road win in Indianapolis to improve to 8-2 on the year.

Jalen Pitre tallied his fifth straight game with a TFL, finishing with six tackles and a pass deflection that led to one of Houston’s five INTs on Sunday night against the Lions.
