Baylor looks to beef up NCAA Tournament resume against West Virginia

By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

Baylor isn’t on the bubble quite yet.

The Bears (15-9, 7-6) are a No. 9 seed in ESPN’s latest bracketology, while CBS slots them in with a No. 10 seed ahead of Saturday’s matchup with West Virginia (15-9, 6-7).

But with a .500 record against opponents in the top three quadrants and without starting center Josh Ojianwuna after the big man suffered a season-ending knee injury, the team is in danger of spiraling. Head coach Scott Drew turned to a 1-3-1 zone against Houston Monday, which showed promise, but it wasn’t enough to overcome 15 turnovers and a 76-65 loss.
