Baylor could do damage in the NCAA tournament, but can they get in?

Baylor is one of those teams that no one would want to see in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Long and experienced and tourney-tested, the Bears can provide sleepless nights for opposing staffs, as Tuesday's 87-64 dismantling of Oklahoma illustrated.

"When coaches think of Senior Night," Baylor coach Scott Drew said afterwards, "that's what they think of."

There's just one small problem -- Baylor has to first make the NCAA tournament to do any damage. While the win over Oklahoma is a boost for Baylor (18-12, 8-9 Big 12), nothing is assured. ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi had Baylor as a 12 seed targeted for the First Four in Dayton before the win over OU.
