🔥 SWEET NEW DIGS

Back in January, the Baylor hoops squad kicked off
the Foster Pavillion era in style.

Now, this summer, the Bears moved into the rest of the new digs and boy,
were their reactions priceless.

🎾 ACADEMIC ACES

All spring long, the Baylor men’s tennis team dished out plenty of aces.

Those aces weren’t just on the court as the Bears dominated the classroom and this week, they were recognized for that hard work with six ITA Scholar-Athletes.

Justin Braverman, Christopher Frantzen, Marko Miladinović, Ethan Muza, Tadeas Paroulek and Arman Zamani were all honored.
 
This marks Frantzen's fifth consecutive year with the award while Braverman and Miladinović made their third straight appearance on the list. Paroulek and Zamani both also earned the honor for back-to-back years.

As a team, the Bears earned the ITA All-Academic Team honor for the 18^th time in program history.
