QUOTE FROM COACH ROD
"When you come in here and play a good team like TCU and the pitching that they had you have to learn from some of these things or you're not doing your job as a player or as a coach or as a team. That's one thing I keep harping on our guys, if we're doing some things wrong and we're not learning from it then that's our fault, but I think our team is young and inexperienced and they are getting some of that experience now. We're a development type of team and we bring kids in and develop them, they're getting better and we can see that, but we have a ways to go, but at the same time I saw some good things this weekend that we can build on."

WHAT'S NEXT
The Bears will look to bounce back at home on Tuesday, March 30 against Texas State. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m. CT at Baylor Ballpark.
