Baylor's early-season results show a mix of potential and pitfalls, underscored by a disheartening blowout loss to Gonzaga that raises concerns about defensive capabilities. However, their win against Arkansas offers a glimpse of resilience, demonstrating their ability to compete against solid programs. The upcoming matchup against St. John's presents a crucial opportunity to make a statement; a victory could significantly boost their tournament resume. Conversely, challenging games against the likes of Houston and Kansas loom large and could easily tilt their standing either way, depending on performance. With a challenging conference schedule ahead, Baylor has ample chances to solidify their position, but their defensive consistency and ability to handle pressure will be tested.
