When the NCAA Tennis Championships begin this weekend, Waco will be a focal point — thanks to stellar regular seasons by the Baylor men’s and women’s tennis teams.

For the second time this month, Baylor Athletics has brought home a national championship. Three weeks ago today, we were celebrating men’s basketball title game blowout of undefeated Gonzaga.

Baylor men’s basketball is headed to the national championship!!!!! Before we continue, take a minute and let that sink in. Then, consider this — head coach Scott Drew’s squad just might be playing its best basketball of the year — and at exactly the right time. Baylor raced out to a 25-point lead in the […]
It wasn’t a dream; Baylor men’s basketball is, indeed, headed to the Final Four. We’ve gotten used to sustained excellence from the program under head coach Scott Drew, whose teams have now racked up nine NCAA appearances in the last 13 full seasons, with five Sweet 16s and three Elite Eights (plus an NIT championship […]
Only three schools have both their men’s and women’s basketball programs still going as the Sweet 16 begins: Michigan, Oregon — and Baylor.
