📈 STOCK UP

🔺  Flying The Flag. The NBA G-League got a taste of what Baylor fans watched for years from Adam Flagler.

A stat sheet filler type of night.

Flagler, playing for OKC Blue, the Thunder’s G-League affiliate, poured in a career-high 30 points, including seven-three-pointers, while also dishing out five assists to help his team pick up a first round overtime victory on Tuesday night.

🏀: A Look At Flagler’s Season

🔺 Springing Into Action. The football squad isn’t the only fall squad putting in work as both women’s soccer and volleyball squads have kicked up their preparation for next season.

This weekend, both teams hit the field and courts in Waco for spring outings. On Friday night, the soccer team welcomes Texas State for a 7 pm showdown, while the volleyball team battles UTSA on Saturday at 2 pm at the Ferrell Center.

🎙 SIC ’EM POD: KIP WELLS

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by Baylor baseball legend Kip Wells. 

The Texas native Wells played for the Bears for 3 years and accumulated almost 300 strikeouts and a handful of Big-12 postseason awards before going on to be a 1st round pick by the Chicago White Sox in the 1998 MLB Draft. 

And now, after a lengthy career in the major leagues, Kip is carrying on his legacy on the diamond by giving back to his community and training young athletes.
