📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Playoff Bears. This weekend, the WNBA Playoffs got underway and the Green & Gold have their fingerprints all over the postseason.
A Big 12-best SIX former Bears are on playoff rosters this fall.
Caitlin Bickle and DiJonai Carrington are on the third-seeded Connecticut Sun, NaLyssa Smith and Kristy Wallace are on the sixth-seeded Indiana Fever, Queen Egbo is a member of the fourth-seeded Las Vegas Aces, while Brittney Griner is on the seventh-seeded Phoenix Mercury.
🔼 Winning Weekend In Waco. Veterans Elise McGhee and Kendal Murphy combined for 30 kills to lead the 20th-ranked Baylor volleyball squad to a winning weekend in Waco.
The duo led the way in the Bears’ 3-1 win over visiting Hawaii on Saturday evening.
Now, attention turns to Big 12 play when BU welcomes Arizona to town for a Wednesday night showdown.
🔼 Four Of A Kind. It started early and often on Sunday for the Baylor futboal team.
Just three minutes into its showdown with Big 12 foe Houston, the Bears found the back of the net and they kept finding it throughout the next 90 minutes en route to a 4-0 victory over the visiting Cougars.
Four different Bears found the goal column led by Tyler Isgrig, who scored her team-leading fourth goal of the season. Hallie Augustyn, Ashley Merrill and Callie Conrad each added a goal for BU.
🔼 Adversity Knocks. The Colorado football program has thrown up some miracle plays throughout history.
Unfortunately for the Bears, another chapter was added to that book on Saturday as the Buffaloes used a miracle comeback in the final seconds to pull out a 38-31 overtime victory over Baylor in Boulder.
BU’s defense hounded Heisman candidate Shedeur Sanders all night long, racking up eight sacks on the night, but Sanders’ Hail Mary as time expired sent the game into OT, in which the Buffaloes went on to win.
A partnership unlike any other.
