Baylor men’s basketball lost to Houston 81-78 Saturday afternoon at the Ferrell Center.
The Bears hosted the Cougars in an exhibition game to raise money for Hurricane Harvey relief. Texas Farm Bureau Insurance matched the amount of money raised from ticket sales, resulting in proceeds exceeding $20,000.
Baylor head coach Scott Drew said the scrimmage was put together to raise relief money and give back to the Houston community.
“That’s outstanding and that’s why we did this scrimmage,” Drew said. “I know it meant a lot to our players and staff to give back to all the people that have suffered from Hurricane Harvey.
