Maybe I’m just adding another entry to the unending sports debate list. But a month after Baylor won the 2020-2021 national title in dominating fashion, I remain convinced: the 2020-2021 Bears are the best Big 12 team ever.
While there’s an argument for a few other teams, the debate comes down to 2021 Baylor vs. 2008 Kansas.
2002 Kansas has too many blemishes. Those Jayhawks lost at home to Ball State. While it’s nice Kansas went undefeated in the Big 12, the Jayhawks also lost by double digits to KenPom No. 35 UCLA and lost by nine to Maryland in the Final Four.
