Basketball Thoughts: Baylor No. 1 Next Season? Oklahoma State’s Unfair Penalties and Unwritten Rules

I’m trying to write once a week on random sports things. This week is all basketball.

Baylor Could be No. 1

If Jared Butler and MaCio Teague return, Baylor will be at least No. 2 in the polls. Gonzaga, a program facing their own early NBA draft decisions, is the only other possible No. 1 team.

Butler and Teague have difficult decisions. Butler is very likely to get drafted. He can make a lot of money playing in the NBA, and he might decide to start his professional career. Teague has his degree and is four years removed from high school, so the odds he improves enough to get drafted after next season aren’t super high.
