Happy Tuesday Baylor Fam. Sometimes, it’s just like this….

That was the case last night at Foster as the Bears dropped a heart-breaker in a back-and-forth battle with one of the country’s best teams.

We’ve got a deeper look into last night’s game and much more!

What all do we have stirrin’ in today’s abbreviated Brew? Check it out!

🎙 NEW SIC ‘EM POD: SARAH ANDREWS

Every great team needs a leader, and that’s what Sarah Andrews is for Baylor Women’s Basketball. 

From the time she was just 4-years-old, to being a top high school recruit in the country, Sarah Andrews has never been afraid of the competition on the court. 

Now, in her senior season, Sarah couldn’t be more focused on the task at hand. Sarah Andrews is a winner, a leader, one of the most dangerous scorers in the country, and is the engine that makes Baylor Women’s Basketball go.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Case Of The Mondays. Sometimes, they just don’t fall.

Unfortunately for the BU women, the shots didn’t drop at the right time as the Bears battled one of the country’s best teams to the wire, but fell to fourth-ranked Kansas State, 58-55, at Foster Pavilion on Monday night.

The Bears shot nearly 60-percent in the first half to build a lead over the Wildcats, but the second half was a different story as the Green & Gold connected on 6-of-26 from the field as K-State rallied for the win.

Bella Fontleroy (12 pts), Dre-Una Edwards (11 pts) and Aijha Blackwell (10 pts) led the offensive attack for BU.

🔺 Connect Four. It’s always a challenge when you tee it up against three of the best teams in the country.

That’s exactly what the BU women’s golf squad did on Monday at the Spring Opener, the Match in the Desert at Superstition Mountain Golf Club.

Facing three top-25 teams, the Bears finished fourth overall behind a pair of top-10 individual finishes from Rosie Belsham and Ashleen Kaur.

🔺 What It’s Really About. While they may be in the beginning stages of preparation for the upcoming spring season, the Baylor baseball program took some time this past weekend and were reminded what it’s really all about.

The Bears got a special visit from Grey, a patient at Shriners Children’s Hospital. Grey met the guys, even got a few tips and enjoyed seeing Waco and the Ballpark. He will be BU’s team ambassador for the Shiners Children’s College Showdown tournament on Feb. 16-18 at Globe Life Ballpark in Arlington.

🔺 Fast And The Furious. Beware… the Bears are climbing.

The Green & Gold are off to a fast start on the track early in the indoor season and their performances have turned heads as the women’s squad earned a spot in the top-20 in the first USTFCCCA national rankings of the season this week.
