🎙 SIC ‘EM POD WITH COACH DREW

There are few better stories in college basketball over the past 2 decades than that of Scott Drew and the Baylor Men’s Basketball program.

From coaching his brothers and sisters at a young age, to taking over a Baylor program that had not seen postseason play in nearly two decades, Coach Drew has yet to find a challenge too grand to take on.

Now, after 21 years and taking Baylor to heights that few programs have been, there is still work to be done. Scott Drew is a father and a husband, a devout Christian, a 3-time Big 12 coach of the year, a national champion, and is proud to be the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Baylor University.

🔺 Heartbreaker. Surely, this wasn’t the Kansas that Dorothy and Toto wanted to go back to.

A Tuesday trip to the Little Apple proved to be a heartbreaker for the ninth-ranked Baylor men’s hoops squad as they dropped a 68-64 overtime game to the Wildcats.

Langston Love had 15 points and Jalen Bridges had 11, but both teams defense held strong in a grind-it-out type of contest.

🔺 What A Boss. The NFL is finding out… Ross is a boss.

Over the weekend, former Bear Ross Matiscik was named to the Associated Press First Team All-Pro.

He is the first long snapper in the Jaguars history to earn the award as he led the all NFL long snappers in tackles for the season.

This adds on to a season in which he was named a Pro Bowler earlier this month.
