Sports Take: Three-point arsenal could make Bears nation’s best offense

By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

It took four years for Scott Drew to pull Baylor’s offense from the dregs of the scandal (and resulting probation) that preceded his tenure as head coach.

In 2003-04, the Bears’ offense finished No. 274 nationally in scoring. Then No. 229, then back down to No. 294. Drew was 21-53 and coming off a four-win season marred by NCAA probations. But somehow, in 2006-07, he turned everything around.

Baylor’s offense exploded, improving by over 12 points per game from 63.2 to 75.3, to spring into the top 60 nationally behind star scoring performances from sophomores Curtis Jerrells, Kevin Rogers and Henry Dugat.
