Baylor is expected to announce the departure of athletic director Mack Rhoades in the near future, sources told ESPN on Thursday. Rhoades, who has been the athletic director at Baylor since July of 2016, suddenly took a leave of absence from the position for personal reasons last week, and the sides are planning to announce he's stepping away. Baylor didn't identify the reason for Rhoades' leave, other than to say it was for personal reasons.

Creme: Baylor has lacked a true go-to scorer the last two seasons and Scott, a transfer from Auburn, is expected to change that. If Monday was any indication, she's off to a good start. Not only did Scott lead the Bears in scoring, she delivered when Baylor needed her most -- in crunch time of a close game. Scott scored half of her 24 points in the fourth quarter as the Bears surged ahead, and her free throw shooting (8-of-10 for the game) prevented a Blue Devils comeback in the final minutes.
