This will be the 11th season that Scott Drew takes a Baylor team to the NCAA Tournament.

Drew's teams have never won the Big 12 Tournament. But here is how each of those teams did in the B12 and NCAA Tourney:

2008: 3-2 in B12, went to title game but lost, lost first game of NCAA Tournament
2010: 1-1 in B12, went 3-1 in NCAA got robbed vs Duke
2012: 2-1 in B12, went 3-1 in NCAA
2014: 3-1 in B12, went 2-1 in NCAA
2015: 1-1 in B12, lost first game of NCAA Tournament
2016: 1-1 in B12, lost first game of NCAA Tournament
2017: 0-1 in B12, went 2-1 in NCAA Tournament
2019: 0-1 in B12, went 1-1 in NCAA Tournament
2021: 1-1 in B12, National Championship
2022: 0-1 in B12, went 1-1 in NCAA Tournament

Losing early has not really helped or hurt Baylor, nor has going deep in the conference tournament

It really will come down to match-ups, seed and where we play.

I would expect a 3 seed in the South Region, playing against the 14 seed Beelzebub's Boys

Let's see what happens.

Your 2008 is off. We lost in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament and NCAA tournament that year.

We went to the Big 12 final the following year and rode that to the NIT championship game in 2009.

So this is the fifth tournament team to lose its first game of the Big 12 tournament, and only one of the others got past the first weekend. I think that trend will hold up this year, but time will tell.
