šŸ”ŗ Connect Four. Head Coach Nicki Collen described it as a different ā€œlook in their eyes.ā€

That look has been a difference maker for the BU womenā€™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.

šŸ”ŗ The Line Leader. Nope, weā€™re not talking about those charts that we all had in elementary school.

Weā€™re talking about BU football and itā€™s new line leader.

One of the nationā€™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 Bearsā€™ new offensive line coach.

šŸ”ŗ Battlinā€™ The Best. Winners of eight straight, the BU menā€™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 nationā€™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?
