Baker University football traveled to Dubuque, Iowa for its season opener. The Wildcats scored 20 points in the first half and added seven in the second half to secure a commanding 27-0 victory. The Wildcats improved to 1-0 and will turn their attention to next week’s matchup. “I was really wanting to see the boys execute on both sides of the ball and take care of the football on offense and take the ball away on defense.

Coach Andy Kelley headshot On April 10th, Baker named former Baker assistant and alma mater Andy Kelley the new head coach for the women’s basketball team. Kelley, being very familiar with the Wildcats, is ecstatic to be back in Baldwin City. “This has been my dream job since I started in this industry back in 2014, so coming back to take over this program is such an incredibly surreal feeling for me. I have so much love for this program, and I am very blessed to be in this position,” said Kelley.

The 2026 March Madness tournament has delivered many upsets, good storylines with unknown teams, breakout players, and teams unexpectedly causing upsets. As of now, we’re in the final four with teams we had an idea that would make it on one side, and on the other side, quite the opposite. With name, image, and likeness (NIL) becoming a major factor in college basketball, we are seeing fewer and fewer upsets. The bigger programs have more opportunities to give money to the highly ranked athletes.
