Baylor men’s basketball entered the season with only a few experienced players. The Bears lost four key contributors from the 2017-18 season to graduation and one to an injury. Four of five starters this season are either new to Baylor or played a bench role last season. The lone returning starter was sophomore forward Tristan Clark.
That changed last week when Clark was ruled out for the season due to a left knee injury. Baylor head coach Scott Drew said Clark was an integral part of both their offensive and defensive systems.
