Projection: first four out
Baylor's resume is a mixed bag, highlighted by impressive wins against St. John's and Arkansas, but marred by significant losses to Gonzaga and Tennessee, showcasing vulnerabilities on both offense and defense. The narrow victory against Cincinnati and the struggles against top-tier teams like Iowa State and Kansas demonstrate that while they can compete, consistent performance remains an issue. Upcoming matchups against division rivals and a critical showdown against Kansas will be pivotal in determining their fate; they need to capitalize on these to solidify their standing rather than risk slipping further with recurring losses, particularly against Houston and Iowa State, which could weigh heavily on their tournament chances.
