The BearsIllustrated Podcast: A Baylor Athletics Podcast

Big 12 true freshmen primed to make an impact in 2023

Baylor football played their 2023 spring game a couple of Saturdays ago. Dave Aranda switched up the format for this year's version of the game, going with an offense vs defense matchup instead of splitting the roster up into two even teams. In this matchup which featured a unique scoring format, such as 2 points for offensive plays of 20+ yards and 3 points for a defensive 4th down stop, the offense topped the defense by a score of 38-27.
Much of the offense's success in the spring game came through the running backs and the tight ends. Those are two areas where the Bears seem to have a lot of depth this year. To hear about which RBs and TEs to keep an eye on in the fall, as well as how the rest of the team looked and how returning quarterback Blake Shapen compared with transfer quarterback Sawyer Robertson, tune in to this episode of the BearsIllustrated Podcast.

Baylor Football Spring Game 2023 Edition

The time has come to wrap up the Baylor basketball season. Ahead of the Final Four, Andrew Miner and Pranay Malempati jump on to record a basketball season finale of the Bears Illustrated Podcast.
One word to describe the year: Inconsistent.
That's what Baylor hoops was this year, on both the men's and women's side. We recount what stands out most from this season, the last tournament games for the Bears and give you our Final Four picks.

A Review of Baylor's Season and a Preview of the Final Four

As Baylor basketball gears up for the NCAA Tournament as the 3-seed in the South Region, we preview their path to another Final Four. It starts with their a first-round matchup against 14-seed UC Santa Barbara which would be followed up in a Round-of-32 matchup by the winner of 6-seed Creighton and 11-seed NC State. The top two seeds in the South region are No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Arizona.
The Baylor women's basketball team also will begin their NCAA tournament play this weekend, the Lady Bears' 19th straight appearance. The women earned a 7 seed this year, lower than usual. They will play 10-seed Alabama in the first round of the Seattle Regional, and would likely face off against 2-seed UConn if they were to make it to the Round of 32.

2023 NCAA Tournament Preview: South Region Bracket Breakdown, Picks, Predictions, Sleepers - Eye on College Basketball podcast

On Thursday afternoon, Baylor basketball was knocked out of the Big 12 tournament in the quarterfinals by Iowa State, the third time Baylor has fallen to the Cyclones this season, each loss coming in convincing fashion. The Bears have won just one Big 12 tournament since 2017. Jalen Bridges put up a terrific offensive performance, scoring 28 points including seven made three-points. But the rest of the offense couldn't muster much up. And Baylor's defense didn't fare much better, allowing Iowa State to grab 20 offensive rebounds.
So what is next for Baylor? Can they still make a deep run in the NCAA tournament, or is the slow finish to the season a bad sign of the Bears' March Madness hopes? What does Baylor need to improve and who are the teams we would and would not like to see in potential second weekend matchups? We discuss those questions and more.
