Outside Expectations are Low for Baylor MBB

Related Topics: Scott Drew, Dick Vitale

Baylor didn’t even receive a single vote in this season’s first USA Today coaches poll. (Scott Drew is even on the panel of voters this season! Is he disallowed from ranking his own team? Is he trying to inculcate a “THEY SLEEP” culture to motivate his players?) Expectations around the country aren’t very high for Baylor, and that can largely be attributed, I believe, to its lack of name recognition.

The preseason is all about starpower. Does a team have a top ten recruiting class and/or feature former all-american talent that has experience deep into the NCAA Tournament?
