Game Preview
Baylor was a top seed but failed to reach the second weekend of last year’s NCAA Tournament.
This time around, the Bears have earned a No. 3 seed but come limping into the tournament having lost four of their last six outings. They will meet No. 14 seed UC Santa Barbara, champions of the Big West Conference, in first-round South Region play on Friday in Denver.
The Bears lost to eventual national runner-up North Carolina 93-86 in overtime in the second round last March. This year, Baylor would draw either Creighton or North Carolina State in the second round provided it takes care of business in the Round of 64.
