2008-2009 Baylor Bears Basketball Preview:

Baylor basketball has a rich history, winning 5 Southwest Conference championships in the ‘30s, ‘40s, and ‘50s.  Additionally, Baylor reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in 1946 and the Final Four in 1948 and 1950.  In 1948, the Bears even played for the national championship but lost to Kentucky’s team led by Adolph Rupp.  Two Baylor Bears have gone on to play for the NBA - Brian Skinner and David Wesley.
 
The Baylor Bears play their home games at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas.  The Ferrell Center was opened in 1988 to replace the aging Heart O’ Texas coliseum as Baylor’s indoor athletic facility. For players the Ferrell Center has some of the finest basketball locker room and training facilities in the nation, especially with the recent Lt. Jack Whetsel Jr. Practice Facility expansion.  Fans will be awed by the Hall of Honor Entry Plaza depicting decades of Baylor Bear athletics.  Buy Baylor Bears basketball tickets and don’t miss out on any of the Big 12 action!
