Baylor Bears
The Baylor Bears had a successful season last year, finishing with a 23-11 record and making it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. This season, they have a strong record of 19-6 and are projected to be a 3-seed in the upcoming tournament. Standout performances from players like Ja'Kobe Walter and Jayden Nunn have contributed to the team's success. The Bears have a strong offensive game, shooting well from the field and behind the arc. However, they need to improve defensively by allowing fewer points and three-pointers. The team will need all their players, including Langston Love who is currently questionable due to injury, to perform well in their remaining tough conference games. WALTER!
