🎥 BAYLOR+: THE SITDOWN

It’s been less than a month since the end of the 2023-24
college hoops season, but it’s been quite a busy offseason
for head coach Scott Drew.

This week, Baylor+ got the exclusive interview that
all Baylor and college hoops fans wanted. Get the inside scoop
about Coach Drew’s decision to stay and so much more.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Bearin’ Down. Now that’s what we call a team effort.

Seven different Baylor hitters tallied a hit, while six different hurlers combined to strike out 12 hitters as the Bears handled in-state rival, Sam Houston State, 9-3 on Tuesday night in Waco.

Offensively, Wesley Jordan and Ty Johnson led the way with two hits apiece, including three extra-base hits and the duo combined to score six runs on the night.

Jordan extended his on-base streak to 30 games, while Johnson became the first Baylor player in two seasons to swipe three bags, including a steal of home in the first inning that got the Bears on the board.

🔺 The Hunt Continues. Today’s the day. The final day of the hunt.

The Baylor men’s golf squad remained in the hunt at the Big 12 Championships, sitting in sixth place entering the today’s final round.

Davis Ovard carded his second-straight round at par or better with a 2-under 70, adding to his 54-hole total of 1-under 215. Ovard is the first freshman since Ryan O'Rear in 2010 to shoot multiple rounds at par or better in a Big 12 Championship debut.

The freshman is a shot back of Johnny Keefer in the individual standings as the senior sits in a tie for ninth with 18 holes to play. Keefer is six shots behind the individual leader, Cincinnati's Ty Gingerich.
