🔺 Connect Four. Head Coach Nicki Collen described it as a different “look in their eyes.”

That look has been a difference maker for the BU women’s hoops team who rolled to a fourth straight win, dominating Big 12 newcomer Cincinnati on the road on Tuesday night, 74-53.

After knocking down the game-winning FTs at West Virginia this past weekend, Jana Van Gytenbeek posted a career-night, scoring a career-high 19 points in the win.

With only one game left on the regular season slate, the Bears find themselves in a logjam for the fourth and final spot in the top-four of the upcoming Big 12 Tournament.

🔺 The Line Leader. Nope, we’re not talking about those charts that we all had in elementary school.

We’re talking about BU football and it’s new line leader.

One of the nation’s elite offensive line minds will now be donning the Green & Gold as head coach Dave Aranda announced the addition of Mason Miller as the Bears’ new offensive line coach.

🔺 Battlin’ The Best. Winners of eight straight, the BU men’s tennis squad jumped three spots in the latest ITA rankings up to #14.

Now, the ultimate test.

#1 Ohio State visits Waco as the Bears host the nation’s top team for just the third time in the past three seasons.

Great tennis and free Chik-Fil-A sandwiches? What more could you ask for?
