Baylor's resume presents a mixed bag that makes their tournament hopes precarious. While they’ve secured some notable wins, like their nail-biter against St. John's and a solid performance against Kansas, their inability to consistently win against ranked teams, such as the losses to Gonzaga, Tennessee, and both encounters with Houston, raises questions about their true strength. Their mediocre record against top opponents, coupled with struggles in close games like the one against Iowa State and the narrow loss to Texas Tech, underscores their vulnerability. To boost their standing, Baylor needs to capitalize on upcoming matchups by delivering strong performances against teams like Oklahoma State and TCU, avoiding further slip-ups that could solidify their position outside the tournament bubble.
