A young Bears team opens 2018 basketball season against Texas Southern

Posted

The Baylor Bears host Texas Southern in their 2018 season opener. 

Head Coach Scott Drew only returns a handful of players that have seen Division I action. 

The rest are freshman, juco transfers or players that sat out last year. 

With a young, unproven team, the Central Texas Sports team asked Coach Drew if he was getting any sleep before their opener. 

"I've been sleeping a lot more from the standpoint of practices wear us coaches out a little more cause you have to do more. You have opportunities to teach each and every moment. I think King summed it up best when he told me, 'You know, our practices used to move a lot quicker. We're doing a lot more teaching this year,'" Baylor Men's Basketball Head Coach Scott Drew said. 

Tip off for the Bears' game against Texas Southern is Tuesday night at 8:30 p.m.
