HC Scott Drew was wiping away tears as Ja'Kobe Walter was tearing up on the podium. I have never seen Drew this devastated and thrown off during a presser. This loss hurts more than most.
FINAL: Baylor 70 | Iowa St. 68
After Scott Drew's first ejection and the Cyclones go on a 20-0 run, the Bears claw their way back and earn their best win of the year. Fighting through adversity with the best crowd in the Big 12 behind them, Baylor proved something tonight.

"And there's a lot blooming. I'm going to say not withering. There's some stuff blooming in Waco. So if he wants to come to Waco and write an article about it next year, he's welcome."

Scott Drew and Baylor changed college basketball after winning the last game of the 2021 season. Flash forward three years and the Bears are again challenging the norm and the once dominant blue blood mentality.
