🎙 NEW SIC ‘EM POD: LINDA LIVINGSTONE

From growing up in Oklahoma, to playing collegiate basketball, to now the President of Baylor University, sports has always been a huge part of Linda Livingstone’s life.

And still to this day, you would be hard pressed finding bigger fans at Baylor sporting events than President Livingstone and her husband Brad. 

President Livingstone is a dynamic leader both here at Baylor, and in the Big12 conference; a Christian, a mother, a daughter, a strong advocate for women in sports, and is proud to be Baylor University’s 15th President.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Code Red. What an night at Foster!

Using a dominant 13-0 second half run, the 13th-ranked Bears picked up their third straight win and second consecutive over a nationally-ranked opponent with a 79-73 victory over #23 Texas Tech.

Veteran guard RayJ Dennis poured in a game-high 21 points, while also dishing out five assists and grabbing four rebounds, while freshman big man Yves Missi had a huge night with 17 points and seven rebounds for the Green & Gold. Jayden Nunn continued his strong play with a 14 point night.

The victory keeps BU within a half-game of the top spot in the Big 12 standings heading into hostile territory at Fogg Allen Fieldhouse this weekend

🔺 Holding Court. When it’s coming down to the final few months of your collegiate career, you want to lay it all on the line.

BU senior Tadeas Paroulek is doing just that for the 24th-ranked men’s tennis squad and his unbeaten week earned him the Big 12 Men's Tennis Player of the Week honor.

🔺 Westward Bound. The Bears are headed west.

For the only time this season, the 18th-ranked BU women’s squad will battle against Big 12 newcomer BYU as the two teams square off in Provo tonight in conference action.

The Green & Gold are looking to build on the momentum after picking up a dominant road win at Houston on Sunday afternoon.

He may have only been in Waco for one season, but Jeremy Sochan feels forever connected to the Bears and the Baylor fam.

Enjoy a special Face-To-Face on Baylor+ with the current NBA Spur as he reflects on his time at BU and about playing among the best in the world.
