When Baylor won its first conference championship since 1950 with a win over West Virginia, Scott Drew immediately jumped on Mark Vital’s back. When I asked him about that after, he jokingly said, “He’s the only one who’s been here longer than me.”
Over his years at Baylor, Vital’s been quite the guy on and off the court. A defender capable of guarding all five positions, and a friend that prefers old school hits to the newest pump up music, Vital is a unique guy on the best Baylor team ever. And if things go right, he’ll be part of the first Baylor team to win a national title.
