With the Christmas season in full swing and Big 12 competition less than three weeks away, Baylor men’s basketball head coach Scott Drew has one thing on his wish list: a healthy basketball team.
“Really looking forward to getting some practice days when we can hopefully have a healthy team,” Drew said after the Bears’ 88-57 drubbing of Abilene Christian. “That’s my Christmas wish.”
Baylor’s pre-conference slate, the toughest in the Big 12, has featured five ranked opponents outside Foster Pavillion. The Bears fell out of the top 25 themselves after an injury-riddled 76-72 loss at UConn.
