1. Baylor: Baylor was 264 before the 201920 season was canceled amid the COVID-19 crisis, and the Bears had their eyes firmly on the program's first Final Four since 1950. Scott Drew's squad has a similar outlook for 202021. Baylor returns each of its top three scorers from last season, led by Big 12 Player of the Year candidate Jared Butler (if he withdraws from the NBA draft). One challenge for Drew: replacing Freddie Gillespie, who led the team with 2.2 blocks per game last season. Perhaps slowing teams in the interior will be a challenge for the Bears. Otherwise, this is a rock-solid roster that should be considered the Big 12 favorite.
