Big 12 NCAA Bracket Breakdown
The Baylor Bears
Scott Drew has lead this team to a great season in the Big 12. Even though they fell short of dethroning Kansas to avoid history in conference titles the Bears have potential in the tournament.
3. After pretty much chasing Kansas the entire season to end the Big 12 streak, the Bears ended a good season with a very good team. Yet they seemed to crack under pressure in key moments. The Bears maximum should be getting to the Elite Eight. Their minimum should be the Round of 32.. East Region. . Baylor Bears
The Bears should easily get past the first round. They run into problems when they potentially meet the Larry Brown led SMU Mustangs and eventually Duke in the Elite Eight.
First Round
This New Mexico State team is a roster full of nobodies compared to Baylor. This is one of the easiest picks I have made in this article.
Prediction: Baylor 74, New Mexico State 56
Second Round
With Baylor’s second round matchup, they should face an impressive SMU team. Lots of analysts especially at ESPN have been favoring the Mustangs in this game. I think Johnathan Motley will take over with his size in this one.
Prediction: Baylor 68, SMU 60
Sweet Sixteen
After taking down Larry Brown in the Round of 32, Baylor will meet its match in the Sweet Sixteen. Duke is a explosive and talented freshman team. So explosive that Baylor will have trouble even keeping it close.
Prediction: Baylor 71, Duke 82
