🔺 New Year, New Digs. While millions across the world celebrate the new year with resolutions, the Baylor men’s basketball squad will celebrate in their own way tonight with some brand new digs.

The 18th-ranked Bears return to action with one final non-conference game when they host Cornell in the first-ever game at Foster Pavilion TONIGHT.

🔺 Happy, Happy Holidays. There’s not many that had a good of a holiday season as the Baylor women’s hoops squad.

Before celebrating New Year’s Eve, the Bears posted a SECOND top-5 win of the season with a thrilling 85-79 victory in Austin over #5 Texas this past Saturday.

It was the 14th straight win in the state capital for the Bears, who yet again put on their offensive firepower in a balanced way with five different players in double-figures for the win.

The win kept BU as one of just seven undefeated teams left in the country and moved the Bears up to #6 in the national rankings.

🔺 One Of A Kind. The Buffalo Bills have won four straight and enter the final week of the NFL regular season with their eyes on yet another trip to the postseason.

At the heart of the recent run has been our guy Terrel Bernard.

During this weekend’s win over the New England Patriots, Bernard became just the fourth player in 40+ seasons and the first since 1991 to record a season that included 6+ sacks, 3+ interceptions and 3+ fumble recoveries.

For the year, the former Bear has 134 combined tackles, 81 of which are of the solo variety. He has 6.5 sacks, three INTs and three fumble recoveries.
