No. 18 Baylor men’s basketball hosts No. 12 Arizona on Saturday during one of the biggest weekends in Baylor sports history.
The game will feature a huge matchup between lottery prospect Nico Mannion and the Bears’ plethora of guards.
The Wildcat point guard is averaging 15.3 points and 5.8 assists per game while shooting 61.1% eFG. He is consistently ranked among the best in the upcoming draft and will be a true test for Baylor’s backcourt.
Between the starting three-headed monster of guards and a pretty good defensive front court in senior Freddie Gillespie and junior Mark Vital, the Baylor defense will be a handful for Mannion.
