It's hard not to rate the Baylor men's basketball team highly right now because they recently won…read morethe national championship last month. In totality though, the Bears don't have a whole lot of basketball history. Before Scott Drew took over as head coach beginning with the 2003-04 season, Baylor had appeared in the NCAA tournament just four times; the first three of those occurring in 1946, 1948, and 1950 (a long time ago). Baylor actually made the Final Four in both 1948 and 1950, advancing to the national championship game in 1948 before losing to a Kentucky team led by legendary coach Adolph Rupp. It would be 73 years before Baylor returned to the national championship game this year and they won it in dominating fashion, an 86-70 victory over then-undefeated and ranked No. 1 Gonzaga. As a Georgia Tech fan, it gives me hope that I'll see my team win a national championship in my lifetime. Congrats to the Bears on their amazing accomplishment. A court or basketball arena will have to be named after Scott Drew and a statue will have to be erected in his honor for all that he has done for Baylor. He has taken the men's basketball program to historic heights. To date, he's led the team to nine NCAA tournament appearances which is more than double the number of total appearances before he arrived in Waco. He also led Baylor to the NIT championship in 2013. When watching Baylor in the 2021 NCAA tournament, it was easy to root for the "Mullet Bros," Matthew Mayer and Jackson Moffatt: https://www.instagram.com/p/CMs_Sf0HPN5/. Notable former Baylor players who went on to have careers in the NBA include Vinnie Johnson, Taurean Prince, Brian Skinner, Ekpe Udoh, David Wesley, and Micheal Williams. The Baylor basketball team plays at the Paul J. Meyer Arena at the Ferrell Center, located on the east side of Baylor's campus. The center opened in 1988 and the arena has a seating capacity of 10,284. It's the second-smallest basketball arena in the Big 12 Conference.

Best team in the country. Lots of fun to watch. Good prices, better than UT, or other big schools.read more

It's awesome! I love the aerobics class and love to walk the track on the 3rd floor. Everyone is so…read morenice that works there.

I started coming to the Center originally due to health concerns. My doctor told me I needed to…read morestart eating healthy and getting more exercise. He suggested I check out the Center which I knew as the old YMCA in downtown Waco. I went to check it out and the hook was set. That was just over five years ago. I have done the Aqua aerobics and then found that I loved the Silver Sneakers program offered three times a week in the morning and in the afternoon. I soon became one of the regulars that attends not only for the health benefits but because I love the people and our Silver Sneakers Cardio aerobics instructor. The staff at the Center are wholesome and caring compassionate people. Especially Rebecca, the interim facility Director. She goes above and beyond to assist and help you out with concerns seeing you are well taken care of when you take in the pool, weight room or holding an activity. There are so many activities anyone can be a part of and I can't say enough about how I feel a part of wanting to be a part of the various health programs anyone can do. I even like the Tai Chi which helps me in my breathing and stability. I haven't tried the YOGA yet, but might one day. If your into Pickle Ball or Hand Ball, they have two courts for that. They offer memberships of every kind and the "Price Is Right" being covered by insurance and there are some membership levels. There is so much more to the Center, but I have to close saying I love the in door walking track and second floor workout area. They offer it all without breaking the bank... You gotta try it!
