After testing positive for COVID-19, having three games cancelled and searching for days for an opponent, Scott Drew secured a game with Washington on Sunday.
One year ago the Bears met the Huskies in Alaska. Baylor entered that game ranked No. 16. The Bears felt confident they were much better than that ranking. With Davion Mitchell and MaCio Teague eligible, and a massive summer of improvement for Freddie Gillespie, the Bears expected to be a top five team.
Washington had two McDonald’s All-Americans, Jaden McDaniels and Isaiah Stewart. Both left after that season and were selected in the NBA Draft.
