Baylor's Immortal Ten is now commemorated in the rafters of the Ferrell Center.

A banner was raised Saturday before Saturday's 73-62 win over No. 8 Texas Tech. It's been 92 years since a Baylor bus was hit by a train on the way to a game against Texas in Austin, and 10 of the 22 players, coaches and fans in the travel party were killed. The remaining games were canceled. Baylor players wear the names of the Immortal Ten on their jerseys in anniversary games.

"Coach [Grant] Teaff does a great job at the beginning of the year coming in talking about the Immortal Ten and the tradition for all the freshmen," Baylor coach Scott Drew said, noting the full presentation led by Teaff, Baylor's former football coach.
