You know what’s also a great combination? BU Hoops and Victories.
We got a big one at home last night…. how about we go get another tonight on the road?
We’ll preview that and much more in today’s Brew! Check it all out!

🎥 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!
🎙 INSIDE BAYLOR SPORTS

🔺 Second To Nunn. We’ll have whatever Jayden Nunn had on Tuesday for pregame meal!
In one of the best individual performances of the season, the junior transfer lit up the Foster Pavilion crowd with a career-best 27 points, including six 3-pointers to lead 12th-ranked BU past #25 Oklahoma in decisive fashion, 79-62.
Over the last four games, Nunn has averaged a team-high 16.3 points per game and is shooting a sizzling 52.4% from outside the arc.
🔺 Galentine’s Day. No better time to show love to each other than Valentine’s Day, right?
That’s what the 21st-ranked BU women’s squad will be looking to do tonight in Norman against one of the hottest teams in the country in #23 Oklahoma.
Entering tonight, the Sooners lead the Big 12 having won 11 of their 12 conference games and haven’t lost in over month, which includes eight straight victories.
The second edition of Face-to-Faith is now LIVE on Baylor+
That’s right, BU volleyball junior Faith Lynch sits down with teammate Allie Andrew to dig more into her journey to Waco, a recent trip to Belize and much, much more!
🏀 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Most Impressive BG Stat |
This weekend, one of the greatest Baylor student-athletes of all-time will be honored when Brittney Griner has her No. 42 jersey retired at Foster Pavilion.
Throughout the week, Baylor+ will be your one-stop shop with rarely seen footage, highlights and interviews throughout Griner’s incredible four years in Waco.
Baylor+ will also be along for the ride as the BU legend returns to campus for her special weekend.
All of this will culminate in a Baylor+ original film, “Bigger Than Life”, which will take an in-depth look at Griner’s time as a Bear and the impact she left on the program, athletic department and University as a whole.
“Bigger Than Life” will be set to be unveiled in March.
🤔 SIC ’EM TRIVIA
There were so many facets to Britney Griner’s game during her dominant four years at BU.
One of which electrified the Ferrell Center crowd and packed houses around the country was the dunks from the 6-8 powerhouse.

🎙 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.
