No. 3 seed Baylor is set to open up its NCAA tournament run on Friday against No. 14 seed New Mexico State. The Bears are attempting to end its two-year streak of first-round exits from March Madness after being upset by Yale and Georgia State in each of the last two tournaments. There is an element of familiarity between Baylor and New Mexico State as the two played each other in the 2014-15 season and again in 2015-16. Baylor won both matchups with the Aggies.
Live box score will be added shortly.
