After a little hiatus, Baylor is back in action -- twice -- this weekend. The Bears will get things started on Friday night at home against Alcorn State. The Braves will come to Waco with a 1-9 record and Baylor will enter the game as a massive favorite, with a 7-2 record.

Baylor is led by Tennessee transfer Cameron Carr, who has starred for the Bears since leaving the Vols. Carr has built up his draft stock and could be in store for another big outing on Friday. Baylor hopes to continue to see progression from five-star Tounde Yessoufou, who appears to be gaining his footing in the collegiate level.

Here is how you can see Carr, Yessoufou, and the Bears in action.
