🎙 ON THE MIC

What’s a better way to start the month of November?

A great dinner, insider info and hanging with your Baylor Fam!

Another edition of the Coach’s Show TONIGHT at Rudy’s at 7 pm. Coach Aranda is joined by Coach Collen as they both preview the action in the week ahead.

Along one of Waco’s most respected drives, 15 minutes from Baylor, 10 minutes from Ridgewood Country Club and Lake Waco, sits this prominent community focal point.

With over 4800 sf feet in total with a fully equipped guest apartment included, on over an acre and a half - this Waco home is incomparable. Set back on the exceptionally large lot and peeking through hundred-year-old live oak trees, visitors are greeted by a distinguished wrought iron tracery and columns framing a southern French style front porch.

The entire estate has been meticulously restored, including electrical, plumbing, full finish out and more. In any major Texas city, this home would be unattainable and twice the expense. Here in Waco, it is one of the most prestigious and beautiful homes there is.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 14.

Littlepage-Buggs first double-double came just four games into her career against national power Maryland, when she poured in 16 points and grabbed 12 boards.

When conference play hit in January, she piled up six in a span of eight games to introduce herself to the rest of the Big 12.

🐻 Have a great Wednesday, y’all!
