Description

The Baylor Bears men's basketball team has earned a number three seed in the NCAA Tournament. 

This puts them in the South region and they'll face UC Santa Barbara in the Round of 64. Their game tips off at 1:30 p.m. on Friday on TNT. 

Baylor ducked out of the Big 12 Tournament with a loss to Iowa State where rebounding was a key issue. The only positive, in Scott Drew's eyes, is that the team was able to get an extra day of rest before the NCAA Tournament. 

The Bears were looking to bounce back from a Round of 32 exit from 2022 when the North Carolina Tar Heels bounced the Bears from the tournament in major upset fashion. 

After scoring just 42 points in the first 30 minutes of regulation, Baylor tied the record for the largest NCAA Tournament comeback with 38 points in the final 10 minutes to tie the game at 80 and send it to overtime. The Tar Heels had more steam and sent the Bears packing early as they tried to defend their National Title.
