Bears could see seven high-major opponents in non-conference play
WACO, Texas – Baylor men's basketball 19th-year head coach Scott Drew announced the Bears' 2021-22 non-conference schedule on Tuesday. The 13-game slate includes eight games at the Ferrell Center, two road contests and three neutral-site games in the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Â
The Bears will receive their 2021 National Championship rings and unveil the championship banner in a pregame ceremony prior to the Friday, Nov. 12 season opener against Incarnate Word at the Ferrell Center.
Â
BU continues its season-opening four-game homestand with matchups against Nicholls State (Monday, Nov. 15) and Central Arkansas (Wednesday, Nov. 17), followed by a Big 12/Pac-12 matchup against Stanford (Saturday, Nov. 20).
Â
The Bears then head to the Bahamas for the 2021 Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis.

The Bears begin the month against Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Saturday, Dec. 4), followed by consecutive games against high-major opponents with a Big 12/Big East showdown in Waco against Villanova (Sunday, Dec. 12) and another Big 12/Pac-12 matchup on the road at Oregon (Saturday, Dec. 18).
