10 years ago today. Nick Florence led
@BUFootball
to a 52-24 win over No. 1 K-State, starting a 4-game winning streak that culminated with a dominating 49-19 Holiday Bowl win over UCLA.
Notes from soon-to-be No. 1-ranked
@BaylorMBB
’s 57-36 win over No. 6 Villanova.
Baylor will be No. 1 for a 4th time in the last 6 seasons (2016-17, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22). When official, only BU and Gonzaga ranked No. 1 in each of the last 3 seasons.

A Baylor professor forced her students to write me occasionally when I was deployed in Afghanistan in 2005-06.
Found this one Em wrote 3 months before the same professor set us up on a blind date. We’re still going strong 13+ years later. Thanks, Dr. B (Key)

Ja'Kobe Walter has his entire jersey over his face, bawling his eyes out. I don't think I've ever seen a true freshman of that caliber — a sure-fire one-and-done — play his guts out like that and care so much.

Nicki Collen was asked about Brittney Griner and she spoke about her for just under 5 minutes.
This comes on the same day that
