🏀 The Waiting Game

🎥 BAYLOR+: ALL NEW SIC ‘EM POD
Winners of three straight, the Baylor equestrian squad is getting hot at
the right time with the Big 12 Championships just a few weeks away.
Get to know the leader of that program, Casie Maxwell, who is in her eighth season
with the Bears and has helped Baylor reach the top-10 nationally this year.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Keep ‘Em Coming. At this point, its become a weekly tradition really.
The top-ranked Baylor Acrobatics & Tumbling squad added two more weekly awards to the resume for this season.
Payton Washington earned Athlete of the Week, Jordan Gruendler was named Specialist and Leavy McDonald was named Honorable Mention Freshman after competing against Missouri State on March 8 in Springfield, Mo.
This is Washington's third Athlete of the Week award and Gruendler's 10th for Specialist, fourth specifically for Acro.
🔼 The Waiting Game. A monster performance from Norchad Omier led the Baylor men’s hoops squad to a second-half rally, but it fell just short, 76-74, to the ninth-ranked Red Raiders of Texas Tech in the Big 12 Quarterfinals.
Now, the waiting game has arrived as the Bears will await their NCAA Tournament destination, announced on Sunday night.
🔼 Opening Act. The appetizer has been enjoyed. Now, it’s time for the main dish.
It’s Big 12 conference play for our spring programs with both the Baylor baseball and softball programs are set to jump into league play this weekend.
A jam packed Getterman Stadium will take in a three-game set between the Bears and the 12th-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders softball team, while the baseball boys hit the road for a big time showdown with two up and coming Big 12 teams, battling Kansas in a three-game series starting tonight.
🔼 Join The Party. Come and join the party on Sunday as the 14th-ranked Baylor women’s hoops team prepares to learn its dancing fate for the upcoming 2025 NCAA Tournament.
The Bears will open the doors and host a Watch party on Sunday night to celebrate the season and what’s ahead for the Big Dance.
