7. Baylor Bears

Previous ranking: 1

Record: 16-1 (4-1 Big 12)

Baylor may have lost to West Virginia, but bounced back with a road win over Kansas State to remain tied for second in the Big 12. The Bears get Texas in Waco in their upcoming showdown.

Manu Lecomte stole the show in Manahattan, KS, as he dropped 26 points on 8-of-13 shooting. He had been hot-and-cold prior to that game, so it was nice to see the Miami transfer really explode.

Ish Wainright and Al Freeman each scored 15 against the Wildcats to help overcome the front court’s 13 combined points. This team still has a solid path to a top three finish in the Big 12 and a run in the Big Dance.
