🔺 Don’t Poke The Bear. All guts.
The heart of the Baylor men’s hoops squad electrified the Foster Pavilion crowd on Saturday as the Bears won an absolute thriller, 70-68 over 12th-ranked Iowa State, who had just knocked off Kansas last week.
Jayden Nunn scored 16 points on the day, but none bigger than his layup with 2.0 seconds left that helped lift the Green & Gold to the victory.
🔺 Houston, We Have Liftoff. Not how many times you get knocked down, but how you get back up.
After suffering a nail-biting loss to 12th-ranked Texas earlier this week, the 13th-ranked BU women’s team bounced back in a major way, completing the season sweep of Big 12 newcomer, Houston with a 83-60 road win on Sunday afternoon.
Dree Edwards led six different players in double-figures with 15 points as well as eight rebounds, while Yaya Felder added 14 points off the bench.
🔺 Off And Tumbling. And the streak continues.
Baylor acrobatics & tumbling opened its 2024 campaign by continuing their lengthy win streak making it 28 straight for the Green & Gold.
The Bears traveled to Seguin, Texas on Saturday and defeated Texas Lutheran, 275.475-165.290 in the season opener for both squads.
🔺 Two-For-One. Home court defended.
The 24th-ranked BU men’s tennis squad continued their home success as the Bears picked up a Saturday sweep of Jacksonville State (6-1) and Nebraska (7-0).
Devin Badenhorst and Oskar Brostrom Poulsen both gained their team-leading fifth singles win of the spring season.
