🔼 So You Think You Can Dance? Might as well just call in sick now for Friday.

For the 10th time in the past 11 years, the madness of March includes not one, but both Baylor hoops programs.

The Baylor women will begin NCAA tournament play on Friday (2:30 p.m., ESPNU) — their 21st straight appearance! — and for the first time, will get to do so at Foster Pavilion.

Coach Collen’s squad finished the regular season at No. 14 in the AP poll, thanks to a 27-7 overall record (15-3 in Big 12 play) and runner-up finishes in both the Big 12 regular season and conference tournament.

The Baylor men will start their NCAA tournament run Friday in Raleigh, N.C. (11:15 a.m., CBS) as a No. 9 seed against No. 8 seed Mississippi State. The Bears enter the tournament as the No. 35 overall seed (MSU is No. 32).

Led by Big 12 Freshman of the Year VJ Edgecombe and first-team All-Big 12 selection Norchad Omier, the Bears are into the tournament for the 10th time in the last 11 seasons.

🔼 What A Run. The longest tenured former Bear in the NFL will have a new address for the first time in his career.

After spending 15 years with the Houston Texans, Jon Weeks signed a free agent deal with the San Francisco 49ers over the weekend.

Weeks surpassed former BU standout Matt Bryant this past season for the most NFL games played by a BU alum and now sits at 244.

🎥 BAYLOR+: THE 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.

🤔 SIC ’EM TRIVIA

Yet again, Baylor finds itself in an elite group of athletic departments with both the men’s and women’s teams dancing in March.
