The Baylor Bears lost three of their top four scorers, their top two shot-blockers, and their best 3-point shooter. Coach Scott Drew's team, which had reached the Sweet 16 in 2014, was picked to finish sixth in the Big 12. Presumably, he was rebooting this season, but this group of Bears wouldn't let him. Instead, they dominated at home, led the conference in scoring margin and 3-point shooting, and finished fourth, merely one late-season, late-game stumble at Texas away from second. Can this team continue to exceed expectations and outdo the 2014 version in the postseason as well?
