WACO, Texas (AP) -Baylor climbed out of the basketball abyss with one of the best seasons in school history. The Bears want to go higher.
The No. 16 Bears are undeterred by several key departures and the suspension of the leading scorer they’re still hoping will play this year. They also have pushed aside reports of an investigation into recruiting tactics as they try to build on an NCAA tournament run that ended with a loss to Duke in the regional finals.
The Bears had 28 wins despite being picked as also-rans in the Big 12. Guard LaceDarius Dunn was a big part of it, but he’s suspended pending allegations of domestic abuse.
Quincy Acy will play a leadership role, and UCLA transfer J’mison Morgan has looked strong in the preseason.
