Baylor Bears Mens Basketball Information
The Baylor Bears are a men's basketball team from Waco, Texas that competes in NCAA Division I games. Among the Big 12 teams is the Bears. Scott Drew is the head coach at the moment, and the team's home arena is Ferrell Center.
When Baylor's inaugural basketball team played in 1907, Luther Burleson was the head coach for both the basketball and football teams. During the 1908–09 basketball season, Baylor's crosstown foe TCU launched their program, which the Bears dispatched twice.
The 2019–20 season is regarded as one of the most exceptional in the program's history. They were rated sixteenth in the country entering the season, but after losing the Armed Forces Classic to Washington, they dropped to twenty-fourth.
After this setback, the Bears went on a 23-game winning streak, including six rated victories, and eventually rose to the top spot in the nation. For the first time in school history, Baylor won in Lawrence on January 11th, defeating #3 Kansas on the road.
In 2021, the Bears, aided by soon-to-be consensus All-American Jared Butler, went undefeated in their five-game tournament run, defeating Hartford, Wisconsin, Villanova, and Arkansas. They advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 1950, where they lost to the in-state Houston Cougars.
