Big news in the East Region, as the top-seeded Baylor Bears will be without one of their best players for the first weekend of NCAA Tournament play.
Per The Field of 68’s Talia Goodman, Baylor will be without leading scorer LJ Cryer this week. Cryer is battling a foot injury that’s kept him sidelined in 11 of the last 12 games. The last time he played was February 16th in a loss at Texas Tech.
Baylor head coach Scott Drew has since confirmed the news.
The Bears take on 16 seed Norfolk State on Thursday.
