SportsLine Simulation Sunday: Projected 2020 NCAA Tourney Simulated
On Sunday it was Sport Line Simulation Sunday! SportLine simulated every game in its projected NCAA Tournament bracket. Baylor was awarded the number 1 seed in the South Region in this projection. Here is how Baylor was projected according to the model published by CBS Sports Writer David Cobb:
Baylor Results
Round of 64
No. 1 Baylor 75, No. 16 Boston University 61: The Bears, who won 23-straight games this season, but had lost three of their last five games, have an easy time vs. the Terriers.
Round of 32
No. 1 Baylor 69, No. 9 Arizona 67: Baylor survives an upset bid against Arizona to make its fifth Sweet 16 in the last 11 years.
Sweet 16
No. 1 Baylor 68, No. 5 Ohio State 67: The Buckeyes come within a point of one of the tournament's biggest upsets but Baylor survives again.
Elite 8
No. 2 Florida State 69, No. 1 Baylor 68: After two wins by a combined three points, Baylor's luck runs out in a close loss to the Seminoles.
According to the simulation Baylor cruises in the first round before being in two very close contests against Arizona and Ohio state before falling in the Elite 8 against Florida State. Top overall seed Kansas fell to Duke in the Elite 8 as well.
The Final Four consisted of Duke, Dayton, Gonzaga, and Florida State with Dayton coming away with the simulated National Championship.
