If you’re not sure who to root for in this weekend’s big game, consider rooting for the Patriots — specifically, for former all-Big 12 safety Willie Andrews, who played at Baylor from 2002-05 and is now in his second season with New England. Houston Chronicle reporter (and Baylor alum) John McClain caught up with Andrews […]
The Baylor men’s basketball team’s success continues to draw attention from media around the country, topped off this week by a front page mention on USA Today and now a four-page spread in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated (the issue pictured at right).

Last week on ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption,” host Michael Wilbon commented that “They don’t care this much about basketball, for the most part, at Baylor,” holding his thumb and index finger a half-inch apart. I think the hundreds of students who stood in line Friday outside the Ferrell Center through rain and temperatures in the […]

(ESPN.com has […]
Not to be lost in the excitement over the men’s five-overtime win at Texas A&M was the No. 6 Lady Bears’ win at Missouri, and more specifically, head coach Kim Mulkey’s 200th career victory. With a 200-54 career record, Mulkey is the sixth fastest coach in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history to reach 200 […]
Continuing with our week of “All Basketball, All The Time”… The Harlem Globetrotters are returning to Waco this Friday — and bringing one of Baylor’s own with them. Aundre Branch — now known as “Hot Shot” — earned four letters playing at Baylor from 1992-95, earning all-Southwest Conference honors his final two seasons. He holds […]
For weeks, the Baylor men’s basketball program has seemed on the verge of breaking into the top 25. Monday, they finally made it.
