Baylor has likely clinched its third NCAA tournament berth in as many seasons for the first time in program history. Since arriving in Waco, Scott Drew has led the Bears to unprecedented heights.
The Bears begin their pursuit of a Big 12 championship on Thursday in Kansas City. Baylor has yet to bring home a tournament title in its history, but the Bears are positioned well to go on a late run and earn a high seed in the Big Dance.
