Feb. 15th Edition:
The Weekend Preview

On today’s show we recap last night’s 84-73 loss to Oklahoma, look at the updated Big 12 standings and get you ready for this weekend’s Go Gold Game as Brittney Griner returns to Waco and will have her jersey retired.

🎥 BAYLOR+: BG VAULT

We all know BG dominated the court as a Bear, but did you know she was a reporter? How about a car aficionado? Or a jokester?

Relive some highlights of her incredible four years, but also see aside of BG’s personality that you may not have seen before as we unlock the vault to celebrate BG week!

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Hall Call. Make it 6️⃣ straight.

BU standout Gabe Hall got the call he had been waiting on when he received an invitation to the upcoming NFL Combine later this month in Indianapolis.

With Hall’s invitation, it marks the sixth straight year that the Bears have been represented at the event. He marks the 20th BU student-athlete to be a part of the event since 2019.

🔺 Knocked Down In Norman. Sometimes, you just can’t stop the train.

That train was the Oklahoma women’s hoops team who won its ninth straight game as they dropped BU on Wednesday night in Norman, 84-73, in Big 12 action.

For the Bears, Jana Van Gytenbeek hit two fourth-quarter 3-pointers and scored 13 points for the Bears (18-6, 7-6). Sarah Andrews (14) and Dree Edwards (13) also finished in double digits.

🎙 SIC ‘EM POD: ENZO APODACA

From the time he started playing baseball, Enzo Apodaca has always tried to stay true to himself, and play his own brand of ball. 

After earning Freshman All-American honors and adding a Cape Cod League All-Star nod to his resumé, Apodaca entered the transfer portal and found a new home at Baylor. 

Now in his Junior year, he is hoping to provide leadership and confidence to a Baylor baseball team with a lot to prove.
