Baylor nation is going to get an earlier look at the men’s basketball team than expected.
Baylor announced Tuesday night that the Bears will host the University of Houston at the Ferrell Center Saturday in an additional exhibition game in order to raise money for Hurricane Harvey relief.
According to a press release, Baylor and Houston received an NCAA waiver to play the additional exhibition game. The game will be a standard 40 minute game, however, some rules will be modified to fit exhibition mode.
Baylor head coach Scott Drew, who is entering his 15th year with the Bears, said that homecoming is a great occasion to have an opportunity to welcome members of the Baylor family and to do so for such a worthy cause in Hurricane Harvey relief.
