7. Baylor Bears

Previous Ranking: 7

Record: 11-0

Baylor still stands alone at the top of the Big 12 standings. They crushed John Brown over the weekend and get Texas Southern for their last non-conference test. The Bears open Big 12 play at Oklahoma on December 30th.

Johnathan Motley remains the team’s scoring and rebounding leader with 15.9 and 8.5 per game respectively. Al Freeman, Manu Lecomte and Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. round out the main scoring threats. Baylor is balanced and well-positioned to challenge for a top three finish in the conference right now.
