On the heels of a busy offseason which saw two big-time transfers and two five-star recruits head to Waco, Baylor men’s basketball earned a No. 8 ranking in the preseason AP Top 25, its fourth top 10 placement in the past five seasons.
The Bears finished last season ranked No. 16 following a second-round NCAA Tournament loss to Clemson, 72-64. Head coach Scott Drew spent the offseason retooling a roster that returned just three rotation players, bringing in over a half-dozen players to compete for minutes.
The new guys bring a lot of pedigree to Waco.
