2025 Tournament PreviewBaylor faced far more adversity than usual this year, but finished 10-10 in the Big 12 and survived the NCAA Tournament bubble. Nearly every starter suffered injuries, and second-leading rebounder Josh Ojianwuna was lost for the year (knee) in early February. That put even more on the shoulders of 6-7 center Norchad Omier (15.9 ppg, 10.9 rpg), who has a tournament-high 21 double-doubles (3rd in the nation), including nine consecutive entering the Big Dance. Omier is the main reason the Bears rank 26th nationally in offensive rebounding rate, with star freshman and projected NBA lottery pickVJ Edgecombe (15.0 ppg, 5.6 rpg) a big contributor as well. Senior guards Jeremy Roach (10.3 ppg) and Jayden Nunn (9.0 ppg), who shoots 41.1 percent from three-point range, help pace the 16th-ranked offense in efficiency (per KenPom). Baylor isn't as stout defensively (58th), especially on the perimeter (277th), and enters the tournament with its lowest seed since 2019.
