Last fall, Baylor announced the launch of “Give Light” — a $1.1 billion fundraising campaign to support the university’s academic strategic plan, Illuminate. Among the campaign’s priority capital projects is the construction of a new basketball fieldhouse, which would in turn allow the Ferrell Center to be renovated to better serve Baylor’s volleyball and acrobatics […]
Big 12 regular season champs. Big 12 tournament champs. The unanimous No. 1 team in the country. The nation’s No. 1 overall seed entering the NCAA tournament. The Lady Bears followed that path all the way to the national championship in 2012. Now, they’ll put that formula to the test again in 2019. Monday night, head […]
There’s no questioning the fact that Scott Drew is the most successful coach in Baylor men’s basketball history. In his 16 seasons leading the Bears, he’s won more games (and a higher percentage of his games) than any coach in program history, reached the Sweet 16 four times and the Elite Eight twice, and produced nine NBA players. […]
Winning a conference title is hard. Sweeping both the regular season and conference tournament titles in the same year? Even more impressive. But doing it eight times in nine years — well, that’s almost unfathomable. But that’s exactly what Baylor women’s basketball has accomplished, following last night’s 67-49 win over Iowa State. A tight game for […]
As Baylor women’s basketball has dominated the Big 12 in recent years, many of the team’s conference titles have been hard fought — leagues won by a narrow margin, clinched in games against similarly top-ranked opponents decided by just a few points. This was not one of those. Wednesday night, head coach Kim Mulkey’s team […]
When head coach Steve Rodriguez fills out the lineup card for the 2019 Baylor Baseball season opener, he’ll have plenty of familiar faces to choose from. The cyclical nature of college sports doesn’t allow this very often, but the Bears are returning the entire batting order and starting pitching rotation from a 2018 team that […]
With the first pitch of the 2019 season set for Friday night in Mexico, the Baylor softball team finds itself in a familiar spot — ranked among the nation’s top 25 teams in the preseason rankings for the eighth straight year. The Lady Bears came in 18th nationally in the preseason coaches poll and 19th […]
Baylor men’s tennis has had a lot of success over the last two decades: 13 Big 12 regular season titles, 8 more conference tournament championships, and a national title. With that kind of track record, it would take someone with a pretty impressive resume of their own to take the helm of one of the sport’s […]
The Baylor Lady Bears are 2019 national champions!!!! Of course, this isn’t new territory for Baylor’s women’s basketball program — or for Baylor as a whole. The Lady Bears had previously won two national titles in 2005 and 2012. Baylor acrobatics & tumbling is aiming for its fifth straight national championship this spring, and Baylor men’s tennis […]
Last year, the Baylor Family was introduced to Illuminate, the university’s academic strategic plan to guide Baylor further towards its goals as a preeminent Christian research institution.
