How They Drew It Up: Baylor's Unforgettable 2021 Championship Season
Finally! When the Baylor Bears cut down the nets in Indianapolis, they capped the most unbelievable and accomplished season in program history. 

From both their first conference championship and Final Four appearance in 71 years, to fighting through the myriad of challenges of an unprecedented global pandemic, to winning the first national championship in Baylor men’s basketball history, this is a team that no Bears’ fan will ever forget.

How They Drew It Up: Baylor's Unforgettable 2021 Championship Season is the inside story of Baylor’s dominant and eventful 2020-2021 season, featuring expert coverage and analysis from Our Daily Bears and site director and editor Kendall Kaut, and stunning photography documenting the Bears’ amazing run.

Powered by the explosive perimeter trio of Jared Butler, MaCio Teague, and Davion Mitchell, Coach Scott Drew’s team announced themselves as a college hoops powerhouse with an 18-0 start to the season and statement wins over Illinois, Kansas, and Texas, before moving on to the NCAA Tournament where they dispatched Hartford, Wisconsin, Villanova, and Arkansas in short order, setting up a triumphant Final Four victory over Houston in a Lone Star State battle to reach the national championship game against Gonzaga.

From adjusting to frequent game postponements and cancellations to bouncing back after showing rust following a program shut down for three weeks in February due to COVID-19 protocols, How They Drew It Up is an essential keepsake for any Bears fan. 

This commemorative edition also includes features on Butler, Mitchell, Matthew Mayer, Mark Vital and more!
