By Michael Haag | Sports Editor

Baylor basketball head coaches Scott Drew (men’s) and Nicki Collen (women’s) are in a unique spot for the 2023-24 season. Nearly half of their respective seasons will be spent in the Ferrell Center, and the back end will be in the new Paul & Alejandra Foster Pavilion.

Baylor Athletics announced on Monday that the gleaming brand-new structure is expected to open in early January for a pair of home men’s and women’s contests. The opening is right on schedule for the original January 2024 target.

The men’s team will take part in a nonconference matchup against Cornell on Jan.
