Projected seed: 11 (last four in)

Baylor’s current position in the tournament landscape is precarious, with a mixed bag of results that highlight both potential and vulnerability. They’ve secured some quality wins, such as their dramatic victory over St. John's and the solid performance against Kansas, but they are hampered by significant losses to teams like Gonzaga and Houston, where the margins showed defensive frailties and offensive inconsistencies. The team's ability to defeat opponents like Arkansas and Kansas State suggests they can compete with stronger teams, yet the back-to-back losses to Iowa State and Texas Tech reflect a concerning trend in tougher matchups. To bolster their resume, Baylor will need to capitalize on remaining opportunities, particularly in matchups against higher-ranked foes, and avoid underwhelming performances to secure their spot in the field.
