Lady Bears Turn “Sweet 16”

Coach Kim and the Lady Bears qualified for the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament with an 87 to 67 victory over New Mexico last night. The fabulous Sophia Young achieved another career milestone by becoming one of only four elite players in the history of the game to achieve certain levels of points, rebounds, assists and steals. Equally as important for the Lady Bears prospects in the tournament, our outside shooting returned with freshman Jessica Morrow contributing a career high 16 points and Jordan Davis hitting three 3-pointers as well.

Baylor advances to the Pit at New Mexico for the Albuquerque Regional and will face the winner of today’s game between Maryland and St. Johns. The game will be set for some time Saturday.

The ever-present Tommy Lou Davis has been shaking the BU donor tree mighty hard in the hopes of improving Baylor’s bid for the project. If you get a call from her, get your checkbooks out!
