Scott Drew on UConn: "Players Come to Baylor to Be a Part of Games Like This"

Scott Drew is a veteran head coach who's won a national title at Baylor, but he's also never lost his reverence for the game.

It's a major reason why he's so excited for Wednesday's game against UConn at Gampel Pavilion.

"Players come to Baylor to be a part of games like this," Drew said on this week's edition of the College Hoops Today Podcast. "Your fans get excited about games like this. College basketball gets excited about games like this. And our staff --- we want to see where we stack up against the best in the business."

The Bears will take a 5-2 record into Wednesday's game while UConn is 5-3.

Baylor is currently ranked 18th in the ROTHSTEIN 45.
