Bracket Projection: Baylor

On a campus in turmoil, Coach Scott Drew has been a model of consistency. Following the loss of three starters and being picked to finish fifth in the Big 12, this was supposed to be a bit of a rebuilding season for the Baylor Bears. But when a solid foundation is laid, anything is possible. The Bears promptly extended their streak of seasons with at least 22 wins to six and got to No. 1 in the nation. All this regular-season consistency, however, has been followed by minimal NCAA tournament success, including first-game exits the past two years. What does Drew have to do to avoid that fate again this year and make a deep tourney run?
