Despite being ranked No. 12 to start the season, Baylor stumbled out of the gate.
The Bears went 2-4 to begin the campaign, and they fell victim to a 73-65 upset at the hands of Indiana during the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas.
It was a poor start for Baylor, but it’s now finishing strong. The Bears have won seven straight games, which is the longest active streak in the Big 12, and they’ve solidified themselves as contenders with less than two weeks remaining until the start of the conference tournament.
