📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Tuesday Night Lights. I mean, how many times can we say the same thing, but there are truly no off nights in this conference.

After two games against Top-25 teams last week, BU will take on yet another when 25th-ranked Oklahoma visits Foster Pavilion TONIGHT for a mid-week battle between two teams battling in the top half of league standings.

Both teams have won three of their last four outings entering tonight’s showdown on ESPN2.

🏀: Previewing Tonight’s Top-25 Matchup

🔺 Trojan Takedown. There was no Trojan horse fooling anyone this time.

The BU men’s team jumped on top early and never looked back in a dominating performance over fifth-ranked USC, 4-0, on Monday evening at Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center.

With one of the largest crowds in recent history behind them, the Green & Gold quickly took the doubles point and blasted through the first three singles matches to claim the 4-0 sweep over the visiting Trojans to move to 8-1 on the year.

🎾: Recapping The Big Win

🔺 No Missi-ing Around. Before the ball is even tipped, Yves Missi brings an intimidating presence to the court.

After the ball is tipped, he’s become even more intimidating as the 7-foot freshman continues to breakout out during his debut season.

This past week, his play against Texas Tech and Kansas earned him his first-ever Big 12 Newcomer of the Week accolade.

The Yaounde, Cameroon native had a monster week, averaging 19 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in a win over the 23rd-ranked Red Raiders and a three-point loss at No. 4 Kansas.

🎙 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.
