🔺 Marchin’ On. It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.
There was no better display of that than Thursday night in Kansas City as the BU men’s hoops squad missed their first nine shots, but responded with a strong second half to pull away from pesky Cincinnati en route to a 68-56 victory.
A total team effort led the Bears to their first Big 12 semifinal appearance since 2021.
RayJ Dennis led four players in double-figures with 13, while Jalen Bridges and Yves Missi added 12 apiece. Ja’Kobe Walter chipped in 11, while the biggest contribution of the night may have been Caleb Lohner, who played the most minutes against a conference opponent this year, grabbing seven rebounds and scoring five points.
🔺 Jumpin’ For Joy. That’s the reaction we have when we look at this weekend’s schedule with 7️⃣ different BU squads in action!
It’s a JAM-PACKED slate, which includes not one, but ✌️ nationally-ranked squads coming to Waco to battle the Bears.
The top-ranked BU Acrobatics & Tumbling squad hosts #4 Gannon in a HUGE showdown at the Ferrell Center tomorrow night (see below) AND one of the most potent offenses in the country visits Baylor Ballpark as #23 Texas Tech comes to town for a three-game set beginning tonight.
The streak is on the line.
Two of the top-five teams in the country.
Senior Night.
The last chance to catch the champs in action this year!
What more could you ask for?
This is one you don’t want to miss!
5 pm. Saturday night. The Ferrell Center. Be there!

🎙 SIC ‘EM POD: SHAYLON GOVAN
Ever since she started playing softball at 8 years old, Shaylon Govan has always been an underdog.
After major success at her previous school, Govan came to play for Coach Moore at Baylor, and the experience has changed her life.
Now, with a roster full of returners, and a hot start to the season, Shaylon and her team have their goals set high.
