This March, both Baylor Men's & Women's teams have dominated the South Region of the NCAA Tournament.
Of course not much attention are on the women's teams/tournament, with the exception of the fact that Britany Griner (a freshman out of Houston) has dominated the entire basketball game and created quite a name for herself in women's basketball with her hardcore dunks and amazing arm span, unstoppable aggressiveness and intimidating presence in the key.
She has contributed to Baylor's success on the women's side as Baylor has pulled their rank card (#4) and blown past top seeds of the South region to now represent the south in the FINAL FOUR!
On the Men's side of the tournament, there has been more surprises as seeded #3 in the south, we have knocked off some #1 seeds as well s made our way into the Elite Eight. At one point, both men and women teams were in the Sweet 16 AND the Elite 8. Baylor men got knocked off by #2 seeded Duke in a neck & neck game that boiled down to referrees calling a game sending us packing back to Waco.
But for both teams, it was our first time making that far in 60 years! What a statement. This path that has been paved has bridged gaps in alumni and given us a reason to bind together in fellowship and reunion as well as reignite that Green & Gold spirit that had long dwindled.
We cheer our Lady Bears on as they took revenge for our men and defeated Duke...and now go on to meet UConn (one of the most renown women's basketball programs) this coming weekend.
Ordinarily the two team's i'd like to see face-off would be UConn & Tenn (but Baylor knocked of Tennesee...yeayah!). So if Baylor doesn't make it, my next fav would be UConn vs Oklahoma. THAT will be a game to watch in the Championship! But....I BELIEVE BAYLOR CAN GO ALL THE WAY! Sic'em Bears!!!
