Dickie V applauds Baylor men’s basketball

ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale had some nice things to say about Baylor’s men’s basketball program in a recent column on ESPN.com:

“Down at Baylor, Scott Drew is putting together something special. He has done a great job despite adversity and the Bears have played outstanding basketball early. Baylor won the Paradise Jam event in the Virgin Islands, knocking off Notre Dame along the way. The Bears took a very strong Washington State team to the wire. Baylor has an exceptional backcourt in Curtis Jerrells and Aaron Bruce.”

Dallas-area fans — the Bears are coming to you in just a couple of weeks! Baylor will face Arkansas, a preseason top 25 team, on January 5 at the American Airlines Center.
