Baylor's resume reveals a mixed bag of performances, with significant wins, such as their narrow triumph against St. John's and a solid victory over Arkansas, but marred by heavy losses to top-ranked Gonzaga and Tennessee. Their offensive capabilities shine through, especially in matchups against lower-tier opponents, but a concerning defensive ranking indicates vulnerabilities against more potent offenses. Upcoming games against Iowa State and Kansas will be crucial; victories there could elevate their standing, while losses, particularly against teams like Houston or Arizona, will hinder their tournament prospects significantly.
